My local dealer only gives out Polo's too - generally the horrendously specced ones too - awful cars!

Re: Sumatra owners reassure me!

I've got a sumatra and I'm really happy with it. It looks absolutely nothing like the image on the VW configurator - much more like Lava Grey Audi's when it's out of the direct sunlight, and when it's in sunlight you get tinges of copper in the grey - I love it!

Re: What's the merlin cloth interior really like?

I've got the merlin cloth and it's great - I've also got heated seats from thw winter pack installed and they're great with the cloth too (I was a little dubious as I'd had heated leather in my TT previously) - I think they do the job just as well as the leather seats *and* you don't get that horrib...

Re: Thinking about getting a Scirocco...

I've got just over 2k miles on the clock and I've got an average of 30.7MPG. My most regular commute is a 140 mile trip two or three times a week - about 80 miles of that is the M6 motorway and the rest is A roads.... I am fairly heavy footed though.

Re: HDD's, HCSD's and MP3's

I use a 16GB Lexar USB Key that's a fairly high speed - it was about 18 quid from aria.co.uk

Make sure that whatever you're connecting is formatted to FAT 32 and it should work fine.

Help! Anyone with a VAG-COM in Manchester area?

Hi all, So I've finally given up... after calls to VW customer care and my dealer, it now seems that turning off the DRL's via VW is a no-go. TPI 2020356/1 (Some kind of internal message ref for VW) states that "No Manufacturer supported alterations are possible" (to the DRL's) and it came...

Re: 220PS Scirocco? PHOTO NOW ADDED.

I have a sticker, but mine says 200PS. It's probably a mix-up on VW's end.

Re: DRL charging - cheeky buggers

AAARRGHHH!!! I just had an answerphone message from the dealer - they say that VW have come back to advise that the "PTI" (could be something else the sound wasn't clear) states that no after-factory modifications can be made so VW are refusing to send them the info they want to take off t...

Scirocco Facelift Model due in Q4

Hi all, Just spoke to my dealer and they've advised me that there will be a Scirocco Facelift released in Q4 and as a result *ALL* the current models will receive "limited parts availability". When I asked what that meant, she said that VW are basically going to stop producing spares for t...

Re: DRL charging - cheeky buggers

It gets WORSE! Just had a call from the dealer - they said that VW had got back to them to say that changes to EU legislation mean that by 2011 all new cars will have DRLs and they advise that the DRLs should be left on as they cannot be taken off. Told her that the law applies to new vehicles, not ...

Re: DRL charging - cheeky buggers

**sigh** I took the car in, sat around for an hour then the service dept advisor came over to let me know that they have to send some data on my car to VW so they can send the "codes". Each DRL switchoff is specific to each car apparantly.... I smell BS but I now have to wait for them to c...
