Re: Fitting new fuel flap actuator
Just to update this, I managed to fit the new actuator today. Part number is the one Cuprabob linked to above, was £26 from vw. Only took about 30 mins. Wheel didn't need to come off as others have said, just jack it up to get easier access through the wheel arch lining. The interior plastic panel i...

Re: Fitting new fuel flap actuator
It seems I've got the same problem with my actuator as the fuel flap won't open. I've managed to release the flap by jacking the car up and loosening the wheel arch lining and pushing the switch from behind, but guess I need a new actuator now. Does anyone have any info on the actual part I need or ...

Re: Thule roof bars, the response from Thule
I've had the official VW roof bars on and off the car for the last year. Not damage to my car or rubber seals. The rubber seals do get pulled back and slightly deform when the bars are taken off, but they move back in to place after a few days and you can't tell the bars have been on.

Re: How to transport a Mountain Bike?
I've got the VW roof bars (picked them up new from a member here for £185 and fitted them myself) and Thule pro ride 598 cycle carrier (£85). So not cheap, but I find it the best compromise. I can't fit two bikes in the back and it's a faff removing wheels and protecting the inside from scratching. ...

Thule proride 591 cycle carriers with VW roof bars?
Hi chaps, I'm just investigating bike carrying options for my imminent Scirocco purchase. Can anyone confirm if the Thule proride 591 cycle carriers fit the VW roof bars? I'm lead to believe that Thule no longer do roof bars for the Scirocco so hoped this combination would be the cheapest option to ...
