Scirocco Central

Hello stay away from 1.4 engine. Nothing but problems, take it from me. John, a few posts ago you mentioned that your engine would have been replaced. Now I see that you're currently driving a 122hp scirocco. Did you trade in your 160hp for a 122hp? Just to avoid confusion, let me remind that the 12...

I just make a point of driving the last few miles slowly and gently and keeping it off the turbo. Normally the oil temp will drop by a few degrees by the time I pull up so that covers my peace of mind. Well, I guess you cannot go wrong by waiting a few seconds before switching off. However I suspec...

The self-study programme for the 140hp TDI Common Rail engine should be ssp403.
I've just tried to google for it but unfortunately I couldn't find it in English. German and French editions are widely available though.

I don't really want to make things look worse than what they really are, don't even sure that an issue really exists. Anyway, I forgot to mention that VW Australia issued a service campaign for the 1.4 160hp tsi back in May. More info here: http://www.carsguide.com.au/site/news-and-reviews/car-news/...

Hi david25, all First, I don't speak German and I had to rely on Google Translate to help me track the issue:-). That said, I didn't see any mentions to decentered pistons. It seems to me that on iroc-forum.de and motor-talk.de the injectors are blamed as the root cause. Basically, the idea is: the ...

Hello there I just want to confirm that a number of broken 1.4 tsi 160hp engines have been reported in recent weeks on the Italian scirocco and golf forums. The German counterpart of this forum lists a dozen or so broken twinchargers as well ( http://www.iroc-forum.de/showthread.php?tid=9964" o...
