Re: Scirocco sold - just a couple of questions

Thought as much. Shouldn't have asked. I was put in an uncomfortable position. Even at my age, you think you have covered all bases. I know trade-in values are generally chap but as I say, I tested the water on auto trader at £8850 with no luck. I could have maybe got luckier around the £8250 mark b...

Scirocco sold - just a couple of questions

Hi 'All' I parted company it my Scirocco yesterday after 17 months of ownership. It was a 1.4 (122) model. It was a '60' plate with 48500 miles on the clock. I traded it in for a car I had wanted for a long time and decided to take the plunge.....however, I cannot feel disappointed by a few things a...

Wing mirror 'ripped off' - advice

This morning I had a knock on my door. It was a bloke who was looking for the owner of a vw scirocco. That would be 'me'. His daughter hadn't closed a door right on his car resulting in the door swinging open and whacking my passenger side wing mirror off. Fair play to him for his honesty [emoji72] ...

Re: Dectane DRL issue - help appreciated

Got a reply from Dectane. Incredibly they have 'no solution'. The small part (wedge holder and resistors on the pcb) is not available as a spare. So in other words, for a common failure, the only solution is to buy a new set of lights? Wow. Has nobody encountered this issue and found a solution? Sen...

Still having problems with this. Is it possible to get the resistor/bulb connector part on its own?

Dectane DRL issue - help appreciated

I bought this car with these already fitted. A few days ago the driver's side white led strip (drl) stopped working along with a warning in the dash. Today I had a go at fixing it and found the holder and the red connector badly corroded. As I never fitted them, I am unsure what parts came with them...

Re: Water leak in boot - 2010 1.4tsi

No tow bar mate. Possibly the lights. Never been disturbed by me but possibly the previous owner. I plan on treating it over the weekend

Re: coolant leak help- 2010 1.4 (122)

Thanks. I have just nipped up the bolt and got a bit 9f a turn on it. Took it for a spin and no leaks for now but I'll order the washers and keep an eye on it

coolant leak help- 2010 1.4 (122)

Today after a short motorway trip (bit of hard acceleration but nothing major) I noticed when sitting at some traffic lights,steam coming from under the bonnet :eyepop: and a smell of coolant. I lifted the bonnet and could see a small drip dropping down onto a hot part of the engine from the point (...

Arnold Clark (VW) also offer a service plan for older cars. It has been re branded but unsure how good/bad the service would be

Re: New LED rear lights. Thoughts?

I personally don't think they are bad, but I'm just not a fan. I like some aftermarket options but hear bad reports about dectane hence I've not bothered. Having said that, I'm not a big fan of the factory fitted rears either lol

Thanks for the advice. Going to keep an eye on it. Not the best weather for it to dry off either on the West of Scotland
