Re: Centre Hub Caps

eBay ones have always gone ‘funny’ after a while with me. On a similar issue, my car has gone into my local VW dealer (Inchcape) twice for its annual service and each time on collection they have told me one of the hub caps was missing (it wasn’t when it went in). The first time they wanted to charg...

Re: Diesel vs vpower diesel

I definitely noticed a difference between supermarket and Vpower on my old petrol Alfa....to the point where cheap fuel would cause a bit of pinking. But I haven't noticed anything with diesel in the Scirocco, but then again I haven't taken apart the intake manifold to look for gunge.

Re: Build Quality

My 2.0 GTD is a year old now and a couple of months into its life it developed all sorts of strange noises, mainly emanating from the pedal box. It went in and there was a list as long as your arm of stuff that needed addressing....heat shields, cables, pipes....all needed re-securing. The noises ha...

Re: Rear wiper on engine start

It's in Park and the front wipers are off. I wouldn't mind it but with the frosty starts recently you just get the cringe worthy sound of rubber scraping over ice. It's only happened this winter so I thought it was some sort of feature - wipe of the dew on cold mornings type of thing - but it's gett...

Rear wiper on engine start

I've noticed my rear wiper does a couple of flicks when the engine is started, something I'm pretty sure it didn't do last summer. Is this a feature or a fault?

Re: Hard brake pedal

Well I took it into Inchcape Stockport to have the hard pedal and also some annoying rattling in the foot well looked at. They said the pedal was normal, as long as it's not hard when driving then it should not be a problem. There was also a list as long as your arm of things that weren't screwed in...

Re: GT 170. MPG

TDI 170 DSG unmodified, Commute to work around 15 miles, 2 thirds town and country roads and 1 third motorway. Average 38 to 42 mpg! I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong either, I've got a new 2.0 GT 184 with about 2800 miles on the clock and I get about 36mpg (400 and a bit out of a full tank) with t...

Hard brake pedal

Hi, I've had a 2.0 TDi DSG for about 3 months now. It has keyless entry so the brake pedal needs to be depressed to start the engine and a couple of times now I have got in the car (once in a morning to go to work, another time in the afternoon to return from work) and the brake pedal has been rock ...

Sioux leather

Howdy, I'm contemplating taking the plunge on a new model Scirocco and I'm quite taken with the combo of Oryx White and Sioux leather seats. Problem is the only place I have ever seen a picture of the Sioux leather seats is a 3D rendered image on the Volkswagen configurator....they didn't even have ...
