Scirocco Central

I have a 2013 Model. R, with power fold mirrors, puddle lights etc No sure if anyone else has had this issue. I fold the mirrors regularly to access the garage, and the UK Drivers side has developed an issue. When opening and closing the last few cm's of travel both in and out make the mirror judder...

They will claim a few factors at play here Risk - their logic will be that you are now a higher risk having had one accident even non fault. They will claim this statistically hence the higher base premium before they apply your no claims discount. I would want to make sure that this declaration of ...

There are a number of reasons dual clutch boxes are taking over. - congestion as already mentioned, ease of use, fuel efficiency, co2 efficiency in official tests, more consistent acceleration in the latest generation of smaller turbo engines, trend for more gears in search of efficiency, headline p...

Did you do the water pump at the same time as that's cheap if they did?

Assuming no issues , or vibrations before hand then most likely cause is cam belt failure, either through is breaking or a tensioner water pump failing. Dmf is the dual mass flywheel, a failure here could in theory cause crankshaft failure, With a cam belt failure thepistons hit the valves,bending t...

This is very odd Firstly for Pistons to hit spark plugs either the wrong plug is fitted ( too long) but that should cause issues straight away or the crank/ rods broke. Again very rare in this engine. I'm puzzled why the repair bill dropped so dramatically so quickly, vw contribution is the. Main re...

I'm not sure if you are buying new, secondhand or leasing, but I would also suggest you alsoconsider the following Roc r is getting a little old now, great car but not selling so well new so either a good discount to get or go secondhand. The pre facelift cars I think at better visually, mechanicall...

Glad to see you got the car you had your eye on, as I said on the other thread it looked a nice one. Enjoy it for a while without making too many changes is my advice,

If it has an airbag in the seat it will have a small label sown into the seam on the outside of the seat

Am I right in thinking with these seats you lose the side impact seat airbags? I know the side curtain is still there.

I assume as there are no cars on autotrader at that spec / mileage , the 18k is what you want to offer, 18k will get you a 2010 car with 26k miles privately with most options, or you go to 20k for a dealer provided one. Edited to add - ok I think I've found the one you are looking at, 61 plate , fro...

What's the spec and mileage, leather and sat nav will typically add to the value, the rest is down to personal taste, Do you have a link? If it's a clean, genuine car that could be a sensible price, may even be cheap. Cars at the 14k end of the market will probably need tlc, cheapest I have seen was...

I'm not seeing prices being all over the place, prices for a decent non intergalactic mileage r probably start around 14k, and increase dependant on mileage, spec and condition. Cheapest cars will be base spec early cars, and those below that will likely have a higher mileage, or a history , there a...

I chose a dsg when I went for a scirocco r coming from a manual golf gti. At the time I expected to use it more around the m25 so auto was a good option for the crawl. I Now have not a love hate relationship but a love/ why did you change up then! Relationship. But I do think it's the right car for ...

The r has an old fashion turbo feel, and d constantly drops you off boost. Many people post about their dsg experiences with tdi's or tsi and those have much more linear power delivery. D is fine for times when you don't want to press on , when in town, traffic etc. s is really a waste I find, and i...

It's a rare option because it's not too difficult to pull the lever and slide the seat, I have it on mine, it's ok but I wouldn't of paid for it new, it doesn't have a memory function for different drivers, adds weight and complexity on something rarely used.

I recently switched to an iPhone 6 and after reading about connectivity issues was a little concerned it would all work ( 2012 rns510) but as per the other post, using the original vw 30 pin Apple mdi cable and a genuine 30 pin to lightning adapter and so far it's all ok. Non genuine ones only seem ...

Pre registered is good but personally I'd avoid a demo car that is sporty. Imagine a 6 month old car with 4k of test drives where everyone has hammered it. I actually drove over 10 sporty cars before ordering a Roc and I hammered all of them worse than I'd drive my own :) No point buying if you don...

So I found a car of similar spec to that you want back in 2013 ( at the time the spec was everything except the recaro seats). I found it as a pre registered car at a Vw dealer which knocked the vat off and then negotiated from there. At the time I wanted shot of my mk5 gti ( badly repaired after 2 ...

Common to all, just for some reason vw think the corrosion is more common on diesels possibly due to more vibration.
