Re: Rust and mould!

Dealer has seen the bolts. The guy checked a new scirocco and it had surface rust a well. He said it was poor and that he thinks that they should be capped. he's checking with VW and looking to see if any of the other VW's have caps that would fit a scirocco. He said if they did they would clean the...

Re: Rust and mould!

Jesus !! You lot need to get out more. :lol: :lol: :lol: It is just surface rust. Mine has this too. I put a spot of Black touch up paint onto the rear struts 4 or 5 months ago and guess what... NO MORE SURFACE RUST. It hardly warrants a visit back to the dealer does it ??? I can see your point, bu...

Re: Rust and mould!

Dealer is checking my suspension turrets bolts tomorrow morning. They are aware of the boot strut bolts but not the suspension. The boot strut problem only affects som ecars within certain chasis numbers.
Hopefully this is the only problem as I wanted to keep the car for quite a few years.

Re: Rust and mould!

My suspension turret bolts look just like the pictures of yours. I will check out other peoples at meet tomorrow. Like you say though I don't like it once the dealers start taking things to bits...... My suspension bolts are rusty as well. Did you ever take it to the dealer? and what did they say?

Re: Help with Spec Please & Luganos?

So after test driving the TSi, then eventually being swayed to take the diesel route (primarily due to my journey to work), I'm considering going for the Lugano's as an option when I order the car (hopefully this coming week). However, while I appreciate that the 19"s won't have that much effe...

Im imagining the 170 engine will be amazing. This might be a stupid qu...

Re: 170 Tdi

Steve r: any visual differences between the 140 and the 170? Does yours have a red "i" on the "tdi" badge? Does it have normal brushed steel twin exhaust pipes, or does it have the chrome capping as on the 2.0TSI? Black rooflining on yours? No black rooflining, yes it does have ...

170 Tdi

Got my pewter grey GT 170 tdi on tuesday. Great car, I highly recommend it!!!!!!
Very quiet inside the cabin and plenty of power.
