Scirocco Central

Thanks all - I was needing to replace a cracked 19" Talladega and the garage had said that they could source one for about £500 (new). When it turned up, it was a 17" wheel and the garage told me my car originally came with 17s. I didn't think the R originally came with 17s, just 18s or 19...

Thanks very much kentech - that's what I thought but I found a 19" Talladega on the volkswagen.com site which had a different part number so got slightly unsure.

Just had mine replaced at the MOT too - annoying!!

Thanks Phil - Does anyone know which part number I'm looking for for the 19" please (should be a Talladega from the 2010 model)?

And if so - how do I tell whether my car was originally ordered with them please?

Maybe it was just the guy I spoke to - just had an email confirming they can get one at...wait for it...£730+VAT!!!

Tried TPS and they couldn't source one unfortunately. Is it worth looking at getting it welded or just bite the bullet and pay for the new one?

Just taken my car in for it's MOT and the garage has failed it on a cracked nearside front alloy - 19" Talledega - and I've been quoted £423+VAT

Where's the best place to source a replacement please? Obviously needs to be in decent condition - anyone got a spare?

Anyone else?

Thanks for the reply - hadn't seen them. Was looking at Mastertechs in Morden. Unfortunately the last owner decided that she'd get the last service done by a friend at Halfords so, whilst I'm not concerned that it wasn't done properly because it was done by a friend, I don't think there's much benef...

I bought my 2010 R in December and it's due an MOT at the end of this month so I'll probably get it serviced at the same time. Any recommendations for servicing in South West London (I'm in Putney) please? Also, since this is my first service - any precautionary items I should ask them to do?

MPG average is LOL though

Haha - I think that's just a standard Autotrader input isn't it, rather than owner's actual figures? I'm hoping 30+ on a run is achievable but I only do 3-5k per year so fuel won't be a massive expense

Going to look at this on Friday - anyone here know the car? Previously been FE55RGE and 430VJO :) Good price? https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201711071025594?sort=price-asc&advertising-location=at_cars&model=SCIROCCO&radius=1500&aggregatedTrim=R&postcode=sw152bl&am...

Never seen a R on those wheels - were they an option or just off a 'lesser' model?

Won't be stretching to the facelift, thinking 2010-2012 with c.50-60k miles, probably manual but possibly DSG (unless someone puts me off?). Everything else I want is fairly standard - leather, heated seats, parking sensors, pano roof, xenons

First post :) I'm currently looking at getting a Scirocco R as a vaguely sensible car (my last car was a Lotus Elise which wasn't entirely practical for a cyclist needing to carry a bike to events :( ). I think I've nailed down the options I'm looking for and now doing my research regarding common f...
