Scirocco Central

I use spotify on my android/ipad and output to the rocco via the aux 3.5 jack in the armrest. Quality isnt as good and you can't control from the head unit sadly... You may need to unplug any ipod/usb thing you have plugged in and make sure the 3.5 jack is enabled in the head unit settings as I seem...

Been awhile since I posted on here! Work has been mental

When I picked my scirocco up, the dealer told me it was a safety thing for the shorter bonnet cars - if you hit a pedestrian the gas strut could go through the bonnet and cause more damage to the pedestrian.

Yeah this hasn't happened to me yet *touch wood* but i read a similar thing happening to the evo fleet test scirocco they have. Bit bizarre really but at least you know if it happens again!

Ive had this on my golf before because of the remote being in my pocket and the buttons being held down and this made the windows drop (oddly not all of them every time) but almost positive that was the cause. In my 'rocco you can disable the windows being opened via remote using the MFD. I think it...

Is that part ex matey? Have you thought about selling private? Check out the price on webuyanycar.com and you might have an idea of how much you can get for it. Taking a quick look on autotrader, sciroccos for 10k miles and < 1 year old are going from 19999 to 23000 so it's not a bad offer. Id be te...

Yeah I was a little bit nervous having never seen a salsa in the flesh in daylight until I came to pick mine up yesterday but am very happy with the decision i made

Will give it a wash this afternoon and take some more photos as the light in the ones above was very low.

2 more "sleeps" for me! I say sleeps in " because I couldnt sleep last night due to the excitement

Picking mine up on Saturday and then got the week after off to house hunt so will be wracking up the miles

Cant wait

Whereabouts in Glasgow mate? I'm living in the west end until the end of March. Picking mine up 6th March:)

Just back from dealers now... when sorting out finance he used the original price including VAT... so got that in writing so looks like I might get away with the discount

Picking up 6th March

Yeah they probably need to meet their sales quota or something (a salesman at arnold clark said these were worth more to them than the profit of each car they sell though not sure I believe him) Going to be sorting out my finance with my dealer on Saturday so will see what they reckon to the whole V...

bookie is what some of my "real life" mates call me due to my surname starting with Book

Have you thought about getting a nearly new/used polo diesel and keeping the rocco? Use the polo for whatever it is that is wracking the miles up and keep the rocco for fun at the weekends?

More expensive than switching but maybe more affordable than you think...

I would be tempted to suggest it is the dealer rather than VW at issue. Personally I've found VWs dealer's customercare to be fine and quite consistent with the 2 large dealers I've dealt with (Arnold Clarke & Benfield). For what its worth, emails are too easy to ignore, ring the bugger up and a...

if you can i.e. you have the funds, get it paid for now. I paid for my car just before christmas but asked them to wait until 1st Jan to get it registered (new cars are registered from 1st Jan in N.Ireland). they were happy for me to pay 15% VAT then and hold on for delivery this month. At the end ...

Thanks for the info man. If I ask them to hold onto it I have to pay the extra 2.5% VAT, however if its delayed by VW then they are liable. I dont really mind 59 or 10 reg its not such a big deal these days. I am just starting to want the car, strange as I have not really thought about it until its...

Hi christof, I think we're basically looking at it being built this week or next if it hasn't been already... there is a boats thread here.. http://www.sciroccocentral.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4016#p35845" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; In terms of VAT equivalent ...

Placed my order 3rd October. Should be able to pick it up mid Feb depending on boats as it is getting built this week but suspect I will wait for March 1st regardless of whether I can get away with the VAT reduction or not so in total about 4 1/2 months. I suspect it depends on your dealer as each d...

yeh surely xds is just alteration to the esp which in itself is changed via the firmware right? i think this because the new firmware (2680) says it has improvements to the stability program, see: http://www.my-gti.com/1769/volkswagen-rns-510-firmware-upgrade-to-version-2680-2682-2684-2686-2688&quo...
