Re: EPC light on/off

I had the same. Sprayed the throttle body connectors with WD40 every six weeks and have not had he light on since. There is a VW fix which involves cutting the connector out and inserting a work around. However my auto technician is reluctant to replace three connections with six connections. Time w...

Re: Forza 6

I bought the ultimate edition digital download so I've been playing for a week or so; not as much as I'd have liked to mind you. Wozzer33 is my gamertag.

Re: Common Windscreen Rattle

Fingers crossed I seem to have sorted the bottom centre windscreen rattle. The rattle was coming from two places under the scuttle cover. These were under the passenger side, one where a clip attaches and one where the scuttle cover sits. I padded both of these parts out with anti-vibration tape and...

Re: Common Windscreen Rattle

I used about a metre of anti vibration tape today around the scuttle panel. Hopefully the rain will ease enough tomorrow so that I can listen out to see if I've cured the rattle. Nope, that didn't work. Have been pressing down on the scuttle panel cover today to locate any noise. Have ended up dead...

Re: Service

I was in exactly the same position as you and I chose a highly recommended independent. He was superb and wanted to talk for ages about Vag-Com which is usually a good sign. My full service, new brake pads and AC flush and regas came in at £320. I would suggest that you ask around for a VAG independ...

Re: What did you do to your Scirocco today?

Fitted my newly painted gloss back dash trim and door handle inserts (then realised that there was another silver piece for me to paint behind the door handles). Also fitted my Skoda aluminium pedals which have brought a more quality feel to the interior.

Re: Best Beading pictures!

Upon purchase the paintwork was very flat and at last I'm getting somewhere with it. A nice overnight rain gave me this welcome this morning.
