Re: Bluetooth Hands Free Kit for RCD510

I've got an OEM VW bluetooth module for sale in the relevant section of this forum. You'll then just need to add Mic and Modified wiring cable for the stereo - which I have also, but can't find them :S This is the wiring set: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SEAT-SKODA-VW-9W7-BLUETOOTH-WIRING-KIT-WITH-MIC...

Re: 2016 Scirocco R Warranty Issues

VW parts are guaranteed for 2 years aren't they.... it is irrelevant that they have already replaced the parts once... they are trying it on - stick to your guns

Re: 2010 1.4 TSI DSG - wheel bearing noise?

Could be that one (or both) or your rear tyres are 'stepped' as that can exhibit a similar noise to the drone caused by a faulty bearing. I know this as I've just replaced both tyres after having VW checked the rear bearings on my car (they found no fault) - the droning noise is now gone. Feel the t...

Re: Retrofit Dab to 09 Roc

Timc What did you replace? Was it the right amplifier and what new cable did you install as I can't find any parts numbers etc. I'm going the route of the kenwood i think Cheers A lot of info is all in the thread that Roy posted... http://www.sciroccocentral.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=130...

Re: Retrofit Dab to 09 Roc

If you are in the UK, then replacing the windows glass amplifier is the way to go - I'm all over the country and never had an issue with reception on my Kenwood headunit.

Why don't you take it to a garage for them to have a proper look... Where abouts are you based?

Re: Rattles and squeaks

I just had all my suspension springs replaced because a very small bit broke off the top of the OSF - the broken bit sat in the cup that the spring sits in and was rattling around for weeks, that one drove me nuts too.... check for that...

Re: Rattles and squeaks

I've just fixed a 'ticking' noise that was coming from behind the aircon/heater controls & Stereo - that was driving me nuts for months.... very satisfying when you can't hear it at all, regardless of road condition :)

You just have to choose your battles and focus on one at a time...

Re: Scirocco problem windows stuck 1inch open

how do you manually move windows without the window switches? What he means is keep your finger on the window switch (don't just do the 1-touch thing), you sometimes need to do it up and down a few times to reset it... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37dnXOQS5pU" onclick="window.open(this...

Re: Breaking in period on 2017 Scirocco R DSG.

When I had my first ever brand new car, I was told to drive it from day one as you intend to drive it every day after...

So I did - and always have done with every new car since and never had any issues.

Unless advised by the manufacturer, do what you think is best...

Re: Summer 2017 -> Dunlop Sport Maxx RT 2 or Pirelli P ZER

I run Dunlop Sport Maxx's on 19" and they are amazing... very grippy and very predicatble - best tyre I have ever had on wet roads...

Based on comments above - I guess it's all down to personal preference :)
