Re: What ACC mode do you drive in most?

I switch quite frequently (it helps having the button on the correct side of the gear stick). I live in surrey, where I should really be driving a moon buggy through some of the craters not a rocco! It's comfort most of the time around town and for speed bumps due to wheels and suspension changes. ...

Re: What Options?

I have learnt over the years that unnecessary options are only useful for the next owner ie you are paying all the extra now for someone to appreciate in 3 years. You will only get back a small, infact very small percentage of the cost. Yes any car does become a little more desirable with certain e...

Don't think so - my car now in last stage of build (wk48) has RCD510 and dynaudio specced. Hope it will work OK when delivered.

Re: What's your Build Date? (Estimated or Confirmed)

Mine went to build this morning, hopefully wont be much longer!!! Anyone have any idea how long they are taking to get here atm? Sounds as though your 170TDI is at the same stage as mine - care to swap your Candy White for my Deep Black (having second thoughts)? When I spoke to CS yesterday they sa...

Re: RCD510 Problems

I have a suspicion that the issue is still the DSG gearbox on the 170 TDi rather than the radio - know my dealer has at least 3 unconfirmed with that spec. Im meant to be built this week (47) and just went for the standard RCD510. Seems like the dealers dont have any more info to give anyone though...

Re: RCD510 Problems

When did you place your order and what is your build week? It is possible that RCD510 supply problems (if any) are impacting later orders.

Re: What's your Build Date? (Estimated or Confirmed)

Can't remember where I read it but, someone said to keep things going why don't they just replace with the RNS310 (which is what we heard first) and when the RCD510 is fixed you have the option to go back to your dealership and get it replaced. Maybe thats to simple for VW... Latest heads-up on thi...

Re: RCD510 Problems

Just spoke to the salesman who kept me informed on a weekly basis whilst mine was on order, He's says there’s no known fault for the RNS 510 but he did e-mail this which has no impact on the Scirocco. Hope this helps. Radio issue - free upgrade 10 Nov 09 1421-09 As a result of the current radio res...

Re: VAT

Hope this helps.... VAT is calculated at the rate applying at the 'Tax Point' The 'Tax Point' is (usually) the earlier of the date that payment is made or the goods are delivered. So, if you pay whilst the 15% rate applies, 15% is what you'll pay! The (usually) above means that the Invoice date, if...
