Scirocco Central

So after a year and four months I decided to move on from the R. Its been a great car but a deal on the new vehicle could not be turned down and so the R had to go. For anyone looking at getting one, I would strongly recommend it, there is not many vehicles of the calibre and refinement that I felt ...

Afternoon all, Now almost a year old and in the last month or so the Air conditioning has started to make whistling noises. Sounds as though the belt is making the noise. Anybody had anything similar? Im not sure if it has been there to a degree all the time but it has certainly got worse since. The...

Just sticking to the manual , bit of running in to 600 miles and then still a little care up until 1000 miles. I have considered the download V7 maps option, but I dont want to mess with something I cant test first. Plus too many people show a V7 when in fact its probably a virus or v6 at best. i ha...

Well its been through snow and back and I have been racking up the miles slowly but surely, acting like a taxi for anyone I can in order to get past a 1,000 miles! What a car! I am still amazed at the torque and acceleration in all gears, top notch. Dynaudio is reasonable and Ipod does a decent job....

Cheers, realised this after my post! It is a Monday!

Apologise if this is in the search or the manual - but I am away from the manul and I cant find anything as a clear answer.

Just picked up my R and I cannot seem to get it to enter a postcode... it says not supported?? Any ideas, greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Collected mine on Wednesday.. pics will follow but initial traffic jammed 30 mile journey home was very very good!

VW organise it via a loan company like Europa Car etc.

i got my hire car while waiting for an R. You have to wait a minimum of 16 -20 weeks before they will pay out for one. I have had a Skoda Octavia and a Vauxhall insignia through a hire car company.

cheers all. Its easy to check the other items but an upgrade sound system with no badges, could of been interesting.

Im about to pick up my car, is there anything obvious which identifies that Dynaudio has been fitted, speaker label, system label or something? I did not get a chance to listen to the original system and I have not seen a model with the upgrade fitted.

went to dealer to see it today, still wrapped up in the transport gear but good to see it in the flesh! All documentation sorted, ready for the private plate and drive away next week, just got to hope the snow holds off!!!!

Car was at Sheerness on Tuesday and will hopefully be with dealer today or tomorrow...... Cant believe it is almost here, will be the best crimbo week ever! Im getting excited like a child getting a bike!

I have a rough estimate that my car is on quay in Portugal. Dealer advised it had been built! Hurrah. This is particularly good timing as i have just had to change courstey cars to a Vauxhall insignia, despite all its gadgets, has to be one of the worst cars I have ever driven. (and I used to drive ...

VW need to sort their order system out. While I am happy that people are getting their cars, there is obviously no regard for when cars are ordered and when they are built. For example, I have exact spec of Essex bloke but he ordered two months after me... how does that work? Sorry to single you out...

good work, hope you enjoy it. Look forward to the pictures!

after much deliberation last night, the only thing that catches my eye to an equivalent level is the Nissan GTR, but as that is double the price and still only available in March, best hold tight.

Feeling LadyRocr's pain now.

im now estimated 1st week of jan. apparently changing mfd puts you to the back of the queue.

Here it is... Straight from VWUK. My car is estimated to be built on.... 1st week of Jan. I ordered in march. Plus if I wished to add the new options from week 45 changes it would put me to the back of the queue. Truly disgraceful. Im too angry to do anything at the moment but the next week will be ...

First new car i have purchased and it is wearing me down.
