Re: Need info on insurance and mods

I can't see how the insurance can differ so much from person to person. I purchased my first Scirocco R at the age of 22 with the car being 3 months old (ex demo car) and the price quoted was I believe around £800, and I only had 2 years no claims. And with that being a car that has near to 280bhp s...

Looking to upgrade my head unit

Hi Guys, I currently have a Scirocco R MY2015 with an RNS 315 head unit. I am looking to upgrade this to an RNS 510 or something similar. I'm just wondering what everyone has either got or recommends? And the differences between that and my current RNS 315, basically to see if it is worth swapping. ...

Re: Mods for 2014 Scirocco R 280hp

It's fairly normal on performance cars. The more powerful the engine the worse it is. My friend had a M3 and he used to polish his tips most days Thanks Tymondo! I have had 3 cars before this one and none of the exhausts on all 3 cars ever went like that but they weren't performance cars so that's ...

Re: Mods for 2014 Scirocco R 280hp

Very normal mate, may be more on one than the other due to the valve. If you were closer nige, id have been there when i bought the car last year :D Yeah, if you have a cheeky peek under the backside of the car, you'll see that the stock exhaust has two exits on one side leading to a single tip, wh...

Re: Mods for 2014 Scirocco R 280hp

Hi guys, just wondering if anyone could tell me why there's a lot of soot coming from my exhausts? Since I've had the car from new it's been like this and I've had it for 1 half years now. During its service I got a fuel additive put in to it which was meant to clean the engine and sort this out but...

Re: Mods for 2014 Scirocco R 280hp

The red coils provide no performance benefit at all. I think most people end up buying them because they are either cheaper than the OEM if they needed replacing or for looks as they are more aesthetically pleasing. I've just put a VWR induction kit (which I highly recommend) in and because of that...

Re: Mods for 2014 Scirocco R 280hp

Cheers for the response guys! I've heard miltek are very good but that they are also very loud.. is this the case? And BCS do seem like they're the best bet for me, having great build quality and the noise ratings more with what I'm wanting. Yeah I think if i was going to get a remap then live mapp...

Re: Mods for 2014 Scirocco R 280hp

Cheers for the response guys! Yeah I've always been confused with the engine, as the cover and the log book all state it is a TSI but when reading on here people have described theirs as a TFSI so I've never been 100% sure on what it is... Yeah I've been looking a lot at the Revo induction and this ...
