Re: Scirocco oil temp high, followed by low coolant alarm.

Bang on Roy. Water pump had seized. VW covered it under warranty. Pretty bad that it's failed though imo, only 15k on the clock.

Re: Scirocco roof bars, what a joke!!!

I've been using mine for our annual holidays for the last 3 years and never had a problem ? The feet that lip under the seals have a thick black plastic coating and I've never had any paint damage from fitting and removing them numerous times .

Scirocco roof bars, what a joke!!!

Hi all New hear so take it easy on me. I've not long bought a new scirocco R line. Really pleased with the Car! However, I came to fit the genuine VW roof bars yesterday, and I found the design to be absolutely ridiculous. For starters, how the feet have to sit on the paintwork, then the metal clamp...
