Re: How do I remove floor mat anchors/studs?

Followed the above method to replace the mat studs. It’s a bit fiddly getting underneath there, but managed it. Note, when clipping it on, use a rubber hammer and a little bit of Vaseline 😎

Re: How do I remove floor mat anchors/studs?



Found this video on YouTube for removing the mat anchors/studs, but not sure if it’s the same on the Scirocco. I’m a bit uneasy pulling it apart but there’s not a lot else I can do.

This is the problem I’m having at the moment. I feel like using a flat head screwdriver would ruin the carpet??

Re: Potential Scirocco Purchase

So after looking at numerous R’s the past 2/3 months, and having put deposits down on a couple, I’ve finally picked up what I wanted this afternoon. I ended up getting one from a main dealer in Doncaster with the right mileage and right year, so I have a bit more piece of mind which is good. The sal...

Re: EA113 CDLK Timing belt or chain?

Thanks chaps - appreciate the replies. I'm due to pick mine up next Wed and its a 2018 with 25k on the clock. After a previous bad experience with Land Rover, I'm just now very sceptical when they say they say they will check it during preparation and if its due a change they'll do it. I guess that'...

I've had a bad experience (timing chain) on the Evoque I have now, and I am just wondering if there any major...
