Re: Scirocco 1.4 160 58 acceleration problem
Further update. The brief lack of power seems to happen more often now, i have noticed that the whine of either the supercharger or turbocharger doesn't happen when this problem occurs, if i lift my foot off and put it back on the whine can be heard and the power comes back. Could this suggest a pro...

Re: Warranty Direct
Hi mate, I had a 3 month premium warranty with warranty wise supplied with my 1.4 160 and had a positive experience. They paid their share of all the work that was completed, that included work to the level sensor on the suspension arm and new bearings in the gear box. My mechanic said that some som...

Re: 1.4 tsi 160 noise at idle
Hi Ryanforsyth91, I have a similar issue on my Roc (also 1.4 160 bhp). Same thing you are describing, rattle noise at idle but goes away when the clutch was pressed down, didn't happen all the time and wasn't dependent on temperature. I took it to a German specialist garage who informed me that it s...

Re: Scirocco 1.4 160 Engine noise
Quick upate.
I have driven the car for around 100 mile without problem but still with the noise. I have done some research and found that there is such thing as neutral gear roll over so i am putting it down to this as everything that can or needed to be changed has been.
thanks.
