Scirocco Jerky from Cold Start!

Hi, Basically, for the past few weeks I have noticed that when I start my Scirocco from a cold start it doesn't run smooth. It sounds and feels like an old car on a Winter morning but not as bad as that if you get what I mean lol When I drive off I feel slight jerks until it warms up and then it is ...

Re: Interior Lights Flickering!

In any electrical circuit, if there is a sudden surge in load (amps) then you're going to get some volt drop and this may be noticable in other adjacent circuits, particularly where there are dimmable lamps such as those in the footwells. Any electrical motor (such as the window motor) has a starti...

Re: Interior Lights Flickering!

I have taken the car to VW and they said that it is normal for the lights to flicker as the Scirocco has some intelligent recharging system. Is that true?? Thanks That is total bulls**t! However, if you've only got the problem after your aftermarket install, then I'd go back to the people that inst...

Interior Lights Flickering!

Hello, I have had my Scirocco since November 2009 and had my aftermarket Alpine audio system installed a few days after purchase. I have noticed that the reading lights and footwell flicker when driving. Also, when the windows drop when opening and closing doors there is a quick dim on these lights ...

1st service question...

Hi, I took my car in for its first service because the 'Service Now' reminder came up on the MFD at 9300miles. Took it to my local VW and told them to change it to longlife after the service as I do lots of miles per year. They called me to tell me that a service will not be needed until I get to 17...

Re: A few questions and advice please..

Paint protection is a rip off. You can acheive the same results for less than 50 quid and some elbow grease. You're paying mostly for labour with these products. After trawling through some forums it seems like you are right!! I notice you have had a remap and currently pushing 262bhp on your Sciro...

A few questions and advice please..

Hi again! I placed a deposit on a used car yesterday which is actually a new car really as it only has 13miles on the clock. It is the exact spec that I have been looking for minus a few minor ones that I can live without (See my extras list in my profile). The price is £26,675. I was wondering if y...

Re: Scirocco GT’s new engine delivers more power

I will be looking at a remap anyway so I am not too bothered about that.
Had a remap done on my MK5 Golf GTI and loved the difference!!

Re: Scirocco GT’s new engine delivers more power

Hi everyone,

I just put a deposit on a Scricco today (registered Oct 09) and was wondering if my car would have the 197 or 210 engine??

Thanks
