Re: 6 month review of my R

Hey thanks! bet the red gt is a blast. It's no wonder the scirocco has such a cult-like following, I'm yet to find a bad looking one :clap: I would also add that the interior is right up there in terms of quality. It has a lovely layout as standard with the leather seats, Steering wheel and handbrak...

6 month review of my R

Disclaimer - This has probably all been covered but I just thought I'd review my new R and see if I can provide any helpful advice for owners/prospecting owners. I am also not a driving expert and my knowledge on the car is of a decent standard. Anyways, Enjoy! I have done 5k miles and had the car f...

Re: R Twintake Install

I'm considering getting this part for my facelift model. I'm wondering if anyone knows will it fit as normal and is it an easy process to reverse to stock intake if I need to?

Remap for a new R - What ECU?

I'm currently trying to identify which ECU I have on a new R for potential remapping purposes. I see the previous gen Audi S3, Which runs the same engine, Has a Bosch Med 9.1 but I'm wondering if this exact ECU is what I currently have. Anyone able to confirm this?

Re: New exhaust tips blacking fast, problem or not?

After this thread and another on pistonheads, I got WD40 and sprayed the exhaust down then gave it a scrub with a brillo-sponge style pad, Then I got autosol metal polish and a microfibre cloth and made a light application with the cloth. They are now very shiny and clean! I reckon the wire wool wou...

Re: Standard Tyre brand and size on the 2016 MY R?

Mine came with 235 35 r19 continental sport contacts. Loving the 19's standard! Also I must confess the pre-facelift has a subtle edge when it comes to looks!

Re: New exhaust tips blacking fast, problem or not?

Top stuff mate, I'll give that a look and hopefully get some stuff ordered. Trying to keep it looking perfect! Also that is a lovely example of a Scirocco, Noticed you have the badges blacked out. Did you use gloss black spray/plasti dip and what one?

New exhaust tips blacking fast, problem or not?

Hi folks, My car has only covered 500 miles yet the exhaust tips seem to be blacking quite excessively. I am not sure if this is normal and if it is I would be lost as to what cleaning products to use! I also am running the car on 99ron v power nitro if that makes any difference. Advice required!
