Scirocco Central

I seem to have sprung an oil leack since my first service (not happy) having had a quick look it looks like the sump plug (even more angry a main dealer can't get that right!). I did notice that I was short on an under shield, having not looked before can someone confirm I should have a plastic tray...

SELL IT! After banging a new car it will never be the same, whoever repairs it, even if it is reshelled. If you are lucky it will just be rattles and squeaks, if you aren't you will be back reguarly for things to be fixed.

I borrowed my old bosses brand new A5 with the same engine... guess what, it makes the same noise, but is harder to hear has it has more sound damping and a different exhaust.

Mine has got much quieter with age. My proffesional view is its not a problem.

I think the noise is from the area you describe... However, mine is louder when hot and under load so it is very difficult to prove (safely).

I found a solution.... Clean windscreen, cover in RainX, do not use wipers (driving fast helps shed water better)... repeat often until VW gets ass in gear and find fix.

I spent ages trying to find it, and the garage got sick of me complaining... but it seems to have gone away all on its own now I have put some miles under the wheels....

Had mine on the ramp trying to find it too! Failed, it only makes a noise under load with some boost on, the exhaust is not the same as the gti and my dealer thinks that's where the noise comes from...

I have had the demo that the salesman I bought from using. Mk6 gti or passat highline. Ifind that while the car is new it's worth using the sales team to get any bugs sortted

My mrs said it was my drivin that caused all my stone chips, glad it ain't just me! 'rocco ain't as tough to mk4 golf in same colour. I buy light coloured cars 'coz the chips don't show so bad.

Don't think it was simple... Dealer sorted out the registration paperwork from chassis no, insurance was off the registration number and I think he took the tax disk with him, Pre Delivery Inspecton was done at the factory. Never asked what was done about paying for it, I think the dealer took payme...

Off to collect tomorrow

Enjoy

Didn't know we actually had the option to go and pick our cars up from the factory..could actually be fun.. Not something the dealers offer... but if you ask! The dealer might not know about it either as not many people do it. There is a a big customer collection centre at the factory and many Germ...

Courtesy car is a minimum, and don't get fobbed off with a polo. They will have a Golf GTI and a 'Rocco on there Demo fleet (unless they are a very small outfit)... If you are not happy with the first dealer, try another one, they do vary in service levels and knowledge. Insist on taking a 'tech' ou...

Yea, Mk6 GTI.

I had to wait 4 weeks after build. My old man went to the factory to pick his VW up ( not a 'Rocco) and said it was well worth the experience... which I had listened to him and flown to Germany to get mine!

Mine is taking a hammering already, 1500M and 4 big chips on the bonnet! And to make it worse I have been so careful to keep my distance to avoid the 'becasue its new'.

Mine went to the dealer today for something that sounds similar, I was not the first to raise the same issue. Rattle at ~3k from the turbo/exhaust , worse when car is hot and under load in high gear. The Demo made the same noise, I took it out to be convinced. Its a resonance in the exhaust that the...

The G meter might be an output from one of the ESP sensors. My Vag-com cant read it tho...

If its in th CANBUS it can be displayed.... just not sure how... You need the software. Not sue there is a G meter as standard tho...

I had a Fiscon system fitted by Brisn at sales@carfi.co.uk. Its not cheap but taps into the touch screen, mfd (dial, phon book etc) and works with the steering wheel controls. As a bonus it reads the CANBUS to give you a display of: Speed, Oil temp, Water temp, boost pressure, voltage and rpm on the...
