Scirocco Central

Is there any way I can check for sure if mine has it? Cos if I do and it's not performing correctly then I really want to get it fixed.

My 2012 gt 170 tdi has a interior artificial sound noise. It's called a soundaktor and is designed to give the interior cabin a slightly sporty feel. I know mk6 golf gtds and gti have it . I don't know when it was introduced so that might be why. The 2009 model might not have it . Unless it is the ...

Hey guys, Just a random topic but about 6 months ago I took at 11 plate DSG 170GT for a test drive and it had a very loud throaty exhaust note (which surprised me a lot) it sounded like a proper sports car inside. Since then I have bought a 2009 170GT manual but this car just sounds like a normal di...

Check the soot level and ash volume. Maybe your dpf is on its end.

Would anyone be kind enough to be able to do this in Leeds/Bradford for me?

I don't have a VAG Com [emoji20]

Hey guys, bringing up an old thread again. My car doesn't go into regen so much as before, but sill does it 1 or 2 times a week. I drive the car in the motorway everyday and drive it hard when the DPF regen occurs. Is there any specific way I should be driving to keep regens to a minimum. I try driv...

At the moment my A/C doesn't actually work. It's not worked since summer and didn't really think to fix it until next summer as I'll hardly use it during winter! Where can I get this refresh done? Or buy the product so I can do it myself? I've changed the filter last night so let's see what that doe...

I've just got a new pollen filter. Are they hard to fit? Hopefully this cures it.

Hey guys. My air vents in my car smell of a sick smell when the weather is wet and the car is left stood over night or something.

What could this be?

I've been using shell v power since last Friday and it seems to be a lot better got just under 200 miles so far in that little amount of fuel. The revs haven't been raised at 1000 all week but have just started to again. Mpg is up from around 38 to 49 combined now. Should I get my battery checked to...

Got the exact same issue on mine! I'll get it booked in with VW too too see what can be done [emoji13]

I'm going to refill the car fully tomorrow using shell v power and see what's what. I have onto got 380 miles from this full tank but I have looked on a previous post in a different thread and have seen that I wrote I got 480 before. Maybe this was when I used shell fuel before.

I'm going to try use some different fuel and see what's what. I did actually used to use Shell and thinking back I never really had many regens back then. I did use Morrisons fuel for a while and I had so much smoke it was unbelievable so I stopped using that. So maybe I need to play a little roulet...

Which fuel are you using? Maybe I should change fuel? I use Texaco.

I'm commuting from Bolton to Liverpool most days ... Stuck in rush hour, average speed 40-50mph ... Lots of stop / starting ... Hmmm maybe I'm just being too heavy footed with the car atm to get this DPF to fix up. I have in the past got about 400 from a full tank. Nothing more I don't think. Only ...

How are you guys driving the cars? I'm in slow moving motorway never higher than 40 really at rush hour. May get a good run for a few mins at 50/60. 16 miles to work and 16 back. Rest of the miles are town miles!

That's not a lot of range for that amount of fuel. My car would be showing around 450 miles at least for that amount of fuel. I have been driving around in a really low gear with high revs for the last day or two to try clear the DPF. It was on around 320 this morning but have done around 45 miles ...

That is normal behaviour, it adapts to the throtle. Just check the dpf with vcds and you know some more. Is the dpf light on in your instrument panel? I'll have to see if my friend can get hold of a VagCom to check for me. No warning at all. Just idles most days at this level. You can also hear the...

My car seems to want to hold gears longer when the Revs are higher and it smokes. By that I mean the computer doesn't say change until much later.

If the regeneration is not completed when you switch the car off the radiator fans will run on for around 5 mins. Are your fans running on? Hey mate, A few times the fan has stayed on but not always! But the revs drop after a 5 min drive on A roads at 50mph! But after a while of town driving or jus...
