Scirocco Central

Thanks for replies. After polishing up my original wheels at the weekend, the colour mis-match doesn't appear as signficiant as first thought. As for the other issues, decided I can't trust them with it again and I'll probably 'live with it' until any future damage occurs, then try somewhere else. A...

Hi all, just looking for second opinions here from anyone else who has gone for a full refurb of any alloys. Wheel was kerbed about 3/4 of the way round the edge (not by me of course) but also had tool marks centrally from a previous removal. Paid £85 for a full refurb which seems the going rate and...

Thanks for the tips, Kwik Fit put a new Pirelli on it today and checked the wheel and suspension which showed no signs of damage. Tracking seems OK too fortunately. Could have been a lot worse.....

Anyone had this resolved with their Roc? I appear to have the same thing, plus what appears to be a noisy window rattle (passenger side) when driving over bumps in the road.

Bumping an old thread here... but this happended to me today, hit a pot hole with a real bang. Stopped to get out and look and found a fair sized bubble in the side wall of the tyre (two months old). Can't seen any damage to the wheel (after I'd cleaned the squashed tyre rubber mark off the rim) but...

No good for families! My teenage kids disagree ! :D No room in the back. Erm, compared to other coupe's, more than most I'm sure. Looks like any other car. Yeah right... :rolleyes: Half expecting this myself, got mates who will love it and sure will have good words to say, the jealous gits will lik...

It's something like that, bit complicated really but I've looked down all avenues on this and just have to lump it.... I pay the finance instalments under a credit agreement (with a contribution to me from my employer) but the lease company are actually paying VW for it (at 17.5% VAT), on the day th...

Well when I read that above I had a glimmer of hope but noted that it applies to orders made after 29th October only (mine was before this) and also applies to private retail customers which I doubt the lease finance company will fall into...

I've been proper stuffed by my company car lease finance company on this today. My Roc was ordered back in August/September for delivery on 21/01/10. Whilst I knew about the VAT change coming up, had presumed the quote, order and car itself was all done and dusted months ago considering it had been ...

For the past 3 months I've been getting a ribbing from my mates/colleagues for ordering a white one and I don't mind admitting, after seeing a Rising Blue one a few weeks back I was starting to doubt my choice, but after seeing it in the flesh this morning all of those doubts quickly disappeared. I...

I agree, there's a lot of whites in this forum. But on the streets in DK there is hardly any Sciroccos at all - even when I'm looking for them! So no need to order another colour just to feel special... Right on... there's none around my way (NW UK) either. I've seen only one white on the road over...

I was thinking of adding Bluetooth Prep to mine due to be delivered Jan 2010 (but since changed my mind because of poor compatability) and the dealer advised to change something now would affect the pricing of my car and the options already selected due to the September price increase that has occu...

I wouldn't be surprised if you can't order here yet. If these options are not in the brochures in the dealers showrooms then they are not on general sale in UK. I spoke to my UK dealer 08/09 about my pending Roc due to be delivered Jan 2010 and he advised he is not aware of any changes and that the...

correct, the new air con is the one in the golf VI Which AC unit, this? http://img245.imageshack.us/img245/9029/golfdash.jpg Or this? http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/8249/golfdash2.jpg I personally will be dissapointed with either as the original setup looks far better. There appears to be no LC...

white, white, white, so original... put some more pics on... i havent seen many white ones around! :faint: :faint: :faint: I've only seen one white Roc in several months of looking (and I do about 28,000 miles a year !). Blue and both silvers seem to be the most popular in my area (Preston NW). BTW...

Jan 2010 till mine comes along... :mad: WHAT!!?!?! When did you order it??? I'm in a different situation (!) can't take hold of it till my existing company car deal expires in January.... Dealer has commented on how, for once, he has plenty of time to get the order sorted. Time is crawling by..... ...

Nice one, must be a frustrating wait eh? I've also ordered the 170 GTD in white but with the standard 18" alloys. Jan 2010 till mine comes along...

Let us know what you think of the performance of the 170 TDI.

Thanks for the help. VW confirmed my order today for a Candy White 170 GTD with Sat Nav and P.Sensors... only five months to wait until delivery.

P.S. thanks for the welcome Trix. I've since seen that chrome tip advice, will have to follow that up if the 170 GTD doesn't come with them. From reading various posts, the 170 TDI GT does have chrome, it's the 140 that doesn't :( Thanks. Are these any good for the TDI 140? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CH...
