Scirocco Central

i wouldnt want my daughter to have more than 50 hp so id go for the 1.4 ahahah

im also upgrading my audio system and i opted to upgrading all 4 speakers instead of what the guy said to upgrade the 2 at front and then amp.
stock speakers have started crackling really hard, theyre very tired i think. dont think i could get a good sound out of them

are you sure you want to switch to a car with fewer 80 horses thats not going to get much better mpgs anyway? a 1 series is a good car but if you want something truly more economical aim at a 118d or 120d imo.
imo youll get maybe 5 more mpgs.

in the end he replaced piston 1 as well because it had a little crack and it ended up being 1900.

i get 35 mpg average with 50% city 50% mixed driving.
get 18 mpg when driving it really hard.
1.4 tsi 160

just tried to this on my scirocco but the whole thing looks different on the 1.4 tsi, dont really know how to remove the valve

im not very mechanical minded

the pistons are fine, although the valves in cylinder one are burnt. im also having the timing chain and tensioner updated and they're replacing the piston rings as well. i will be given a quote on monday though he said below 2000 euros

hello. the issues with the 160 are quite common but that still wouldnt push me away from it, as when you can get a working one its a really fun engine compared to the 122 hp one. maybe get a obd reader plug it in while you test drive and look for any misfire readings on it. if you can somehow get a ...

i bought it from a private seller and im from italy. i think im going to have the engine rebuilt from a garage, new pistons and head rebored. pistons that will be put in are most likely going to be of better quality than what vw used back in 2008, so they shouldnt crack and i should have an engine i...

Hello, i bought a used scirocco back in december and after putting a few thousand miles on it the engine light came on with the car going in limp mode, brought it to vw for diagsnosis and they found it has low compression,~ 90 psi in cylinder 1. they say they have to strip the engine to find out wha...
