Re: Will this VW scandal effect anything?

Why not wait a few months? i reckon sales will be down and they will have to clear stock so could be some reduced prices or good deals going on. Personally i think this is going to spread and change the way cars are tested/portrayed/marketed. MPG figures are now being looked at as being misleading, ...

Re: What now diesel?

Tax is based on CO2, not Nox, so there would be no grounds to raise tax, plus there is no evidence yet that European cars are actually involved, just rumour and maybes...and if they did somehow come to the conclusion that there had been tax avoidance going on it would be the manufacture who would b...

Re: Help! Front dim lights always on

Low beams and the sidelights (bottom light with the indicators integrated cluster) are always on i think. mine certainly are. One thing that i don't understand is that my low beams are on the outside of the cluster whereas iv seen loads of Sciroccos with their DLR/low beams on with the low beams bei...

Re: Black and Blue TSI PORTUGAL/UK

ah um bom plano. Nunca tive em Braga mas sei que é giro. Então vais por o caro com matricula inglesa? não sei se viste mas os carros lá na UK são bue baratos. Quase metade do preço que em Portugal. Se vais ficar lá, eu acho que a melhor idea é vender o Scirocco em Portugal e depois comprar outro car...

Re: Are 2nd hand Sciroccos over priced or under priced?!!

SO i have decided to take the plunge. Reluctant to sell her but i won't be in the UK until June next year so there isn't much point in garaging her for all that time. I can always buy another i guess. Thanks for all the help. Iv put a couple of adverts on some internet sites as well as on here so i...

Are 2nd hand Sciroccos over priced or under priced?!!

Hey guys, So i have been thinking of selling my Scirocco as i teach in the Middle East most of the time and she is just garaged. But looking on eBay etc at prices and the prices seem all over the place. The classifieds seem to all start at around 8k but if a car sells on auction it goes for way belo...

LED light Bulbs/Kit

Hey Guys, Thanks to the guides and photos on this forum i changed all my interior bulbs to LED ones. I also did the exterior side lights and rear number plates. However: 1) Side lights seem a little Blue! i don't have Xenon lights on my Scirocco, just standard lights, so i upgraded my bulbs to 120% ...

Re: IPhone 5s

i doubt its because your running iOS 7. the RNS system will be older software than iOS 7 so upgrading to iOS 8 wouldn't make a difference! depending on the age of your RNS and running software then it would depend on the aimed iOS. Mine is a 2008 scirocco so could have been iOS 1 since the iphone fi...

It does happen from time to time,especially when im using Spotify but a reset/turn off and on works. Im not sure what is at fa...

Scirocco Pedals

Hey Guys, Just wondering where the best place to get the album style pedals is from? i have checked eBay. Price seems around 50pounds. Is that about right? also (maybe a stupid question coming here!!) is the RHD the same as LHD?! they seem identical in the photos i have seen.... Do most pedals fit t...
