Re: Diesel Scirocco
my missus had a ibiza 130PD which was great fun, my dad has a golf 2.0 TDi 140 which i'm guessing is the same unit thet goes in the Rocco. The new engine is obviously a little more powerful but doesn't have that older tdi punch as the turbo kicks in so doesn't actually feel quite as fast. He's had a...

Re: Standard Audio vs Dynaudio
I reckon it depends more on how loud you have your tunes. Mine hasn't got Dynaudio and it sounds really good, but at age 36 I no longer have it so loud my ears bleed! The only options i regret not having are DAB, folding mirors and xenon lights. I know someone with a C30 with Dynaudio and it did sou...

Re: Maintainance of Alloy Wheels
just to agree about Wonder Wheels - it makes your wheels super clean but as it's acid based it will (believe me!) corrode the lacquer on your wheels. I used to use it but no more!!

Re: Driving Position
Seat base quite low, seat back as upright as possible whilst still comfortable, with your back resting on the seat rest your arms / hands on the wheel - the veins in your wrists should rest on the top of the steering wheel when your arms are straight. I like a good lumbar support too. As I remember ...

Re: Advice from current owners please!
Before you leave the dealer give your windscreen a wash / wipe - if there's a streak right in your line of sight ask them to sort it!! Bet you're looking forward to it, you'll love it!!!

Re: Remind you of anything
Oh dear. that one looks like Audi's answer to the Citroen C3. The rear end is particularly grim. The more new cars i see floating around the happier i am with the Scirocco.

Re: A fitter for the retrofit Bluetooth kit
Hama - i have had the Skoda kit fitted and it works a treat. If you speak to any autoelectrician in your area as long as they have VAG-COM (vw computer interface / programming system) they should be able to fit it.
