Scirocco Central

One thing to bear in mind is that the options won't really add anything to the value. The options add significantly onto the value! Sat Nav and Leather are the most value options as they increase sell on value. use Glass' guide to see exactly what your car is worth to a dealer and negotiate even hi...

Hi guys, I was watching some in game action and couldn't help but notice there was a LICENSED scirocco R in the game!

Take note of point 2:40 in the video.

Enjoy!

Oh no, it looks like someone sat on it from that picture. Scum of society, howm uch will it cost to fix?

you're right, although I have just gone from an R to an ibiza! gimme a break hehe.

haha it certainly does to be fair. Not quite as good looking as the Roc, but a decent ride nonetheless. I gotta think about remaps and stuff now, apparently it can be remapped to 215 bhp!. Maybe lowered a tiny bit too.

Good news, I sold the car to my brother!, that way it stays in the family and we at least have a Roc with an engine that does it justice .

The picture above is the bocanegra, i put the wrong one as I couldnt find the proper one.

Not quite a Roc, but still it shifts for a car its size.

I have also driven cars with both TDI engines and am afraid I didn't notice any difference at all. I think it might be a hallucination to think otherwise. I do appreciate the image and age of the car would mean a 8k rise, but in my opinion it's not that radical of a change. Isn't the Roc ideally the...

You don't just pay for the image, you pay for the engine too. If pretty much the same engine is in a car 2 years older with no noticeable difference at all, you have to think is it really worth the 8k difference? I'm just saying , after buying the 140 tdi engine and realising the same engine was use...

I'm not even sure the the TDI in a 57 plate Golf will be the same engine. Geoff: You are right. 2.0TDI CR was on the Roc and then on the MK6 Golf. All MK5 Golf TDIs were PD units, either in 1.9TDI 105 without DPF, 2.0TDI 140 without DPF, or 2.0TDI 170 with DPF, and a 57 reg Golf is definitely a MK5...

I already had a 140 TDI and I thought an engine like that on a car as good looking on the Roc was a travesty! It was a decent engine but a friend of mine paid 12k for the same engine in a 57 plate Golf! I was looking at the 200 Tsi but the best I could get at reasonable prices was 17k and 58 plate, ...

Hi guys, As some of you will know I have had 2 Scirocco's in the space of a 2 years , (firstly the diesel and then upgrading to the R last october.) After 8000 miles and a lot of enjoyment I had to settle for something a bit cheaper with househunting in mind. Yesterday I signed the deal to replace t...

It's the lamborghini style wheel no? I notice the Polos have them as well now

I had a Candy White diesel before my R too,

massive step up fro 140 to 265

Awesome cars and possibly the best colour of the lot (being biast)!

Everyone always stops and stares (not so much towards the end of my diesel ownership, but the R does have the supercar grace about it)

Candy White 4 life!

Candy White for life :) Hard to keep clean and having had grey and silver cars before, I thought CW is pretty stunning especially when cleaned in the summer. The contrast it has with the grill and black alloys is pretty impressive and stands out more. With darker colours its hard to see the grill an...

Friend of mine had a Civic Type R and noticed a similar sound when turning full lock. He said it's to do with the alloy wheel rubbing against the tyre and its nothing to worry about.

Depends on how you drive it.

55 litre tank at 1.33 for V power is about £73.

Most of my miles are motorway and I average about 30 mpg.

I traded up from a 140 Diesel Roc to the R and i do about 250 miles a week at the moment. It was a big jump and loss in terms of the amount of petrol I am spending keeping it going. I spent about 2 weeks racking my brains and doing my finances making sure I could cover the hit on the car. To be fair...

Top GEar do have the Scirocco on the sub zero wall though. They do appreciate the car. The review on the top gear site seems to confirm this (although they gave it a 14/20). The episode on the diesel was obviously done for laughs, cause they mock it the whole time.

why do people de-badge their cars? it's one thing I have never understood. Is it embarrassment?, if someone is ashamed to own a diesel why buy it in thr first place?
