Re: Buying a Scirocco 2.0 TSI for remap

Just to update you clutch was knackered at 50k miles but caused by the clutch release bearing. There was a bit of uneven wear on clutch plate but flywheel was still in good condition.

Re: Whats the difference from TSI and R

Just had my tensioner and chain/guides done on my 2.0 tsi as I was unsure about the changeover date. Mine is registered June 2012 and it did have the updated tensioner fitted. Saying that they are now on revision 12 of it !!
