Scirocco Central

Iv had my R for year and a half, running 360bhp and i dont find issues with traction really. Ill lose traction in first but seeon i hit second it grips n takes off. My next mod is a TTe420 see around the 420+ mark.

Mind RR standard at 290 but then mapped only made 305 and gained 40lbf clearly shows how throttles the exhaust and breathing is.

You wont see 320/330 with just an airfilter, your exhaust is too restrictive. I have full system and Evoms which made 335 and apparently with a full exhaust and filter they should only make 320.

I would have 100% heard the alarm. I think i heard it happen but thought it was the wind. I even put my arm through the window after without unlocking and it didnt go off. and i tried this. but when only pressed once it went off straight away as soon as i approached the vehicle with the window down....

This was my understanding but I'll read the manual tonight to be doubly sure: One press = deadlock on, sensors on Two presses = deadlock off, sensors on Use interior door button (on A pillar) to disable sensors It seems on Two presses the deadlock is off and the sensitivity is drastically reduced. ...

you're correct press it once, alarm goes off as soon as i put my hand in the car, twice and the sensitivity is turned right down. does it deadlock on the single click?

Should the red light flash with the one click of the lock button?

Also could one of you check if the window says 43R for the colour, i can buy a window but unsure of the code. VW says there is only one colour.. so just want to clarify.

Yeah i press it twice otherwise the blinker doesnt flash. i should have put it in the garage, either someone is jealous or i have upset someone,

Do you know whether one from a 2.0TDI would be the same, i can get one from breakers for £30 instead of nearly 80 at VW.

Has anybody else noticed the alarm is absolute crap on the scirocco? I had my passenger side window put through Yesterday morning and the Alarm never went off. Bin miffed and wondered y i locked it with the window down leant in and the alarm still never went off until i started waving my arms about ...

if you are running a manual box your will need a new uprated clutch thought because it'l slip at stage 2 plus power.

From my knowledge the standard cooler is good for about 360/380

Standard it made 290 lol He Rolling Roaded a S3 before mine that made 265 on the head and run mine about 3x to make sure reading was correct. He scratched his head as the files on the ECU were standard also

Welcome i have mine anthracite grey but quite dark so look the part, i also have bcs exhaust, perfect tone not too loud on full throttle but subtle normal day to day. http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk180/mond2k/IMG_1135_zpssurmwsdt.jpg http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk180/mond2k/Capture_zpso...

it did about 1200 miles before checking the dip and it was towards to the bottom. I will top up and see how many miles it does till i top it up again. To be honest with you i dont give it an easy life day to day but its only recently iv noticed the oil usage. Its due a service and have read about pe...

I have 2012 Scirocco R and have noticed that its thirsty on oil usage. I went to Edinburgh and back and couple of hundred miles since and the litre of oil i topped it up with had nearly gone. Its not coming out of the exhaust on tick over nor is it smokey on boost or overrun. Its done about 25k and ...

Keep us informed. The other thing i thought was jumped a tooth on the timing but the thing would still run. Did it start after the bang? I would definitely say its cam belt related due to a total loss of power but then as mentioned there are tensioner, waterpump etc which could be a contributing fac...

Im not a Mechanic but know a little. For something to damage the piston and spark plug would suggest DET (little explosions in the engine cylinder) but this is more common on Modified cars I wouldnt expect this on a standard car, is the issue down to 1 specific cylinder? Does the vehicle have any mo...

Chased a Golf R down yesterday, he wasn't happy as I passed him :D I'd keep your rocco & just upgrade to a stg2 or 3 tune. If he had got his remaped you wouldn't be passing him. And you wouldn't be happy :D he could have his mappped and bet he still couldnt catch me ;) 340 BHP from exhaust. Air...

820 i think for full system with discount for being a forum member. To be entirely honest with you i had a MK 4 GSI with a miltek non res and it sounds similar to that. the thing is the after car fron Nigel at BCS is there.
