Re: Replacing head unit
I installed an Eonon Q53Pro2 in my Euro 2008 build, to replace an RNS510. Buttons work as you asked. Only potential downside is that there is no built in Nav. Relies on phone to provide that using CarPlay/Android Auto. Install is simple plug and play.

Replacement front windscreen
Hello from Canada! :wave: :wave: Could anybody refer me to a 'big, friendly', glass shop that might sell and ship me a new factory windscreen for my 2009 Scirocco? I thought I had found one in Slovakia, but they changed their minds. International shipping is a pain, but you have to do, what you have...

Re: AC Leak - Compressor?
Bubbles will form, usually slowly, because of the escaping gas.

Re: AC Leak - Compressor?
Problem is you have to evacuate the refrigerant before replacing the valves. Valves were cheap, but the R134a was not.
I don't know if the soap bubble method would work, but I suspect not.

Re: AC Leak - Compressor?
They replaced the inlet/outlet valves on my AC system, and so far it has worked well. Not really DIY though.

Re: Old Scirocco and new phone
Not yet. I have a refurb phone coming from China that's about the last option I can see.
I've tried a number of iPhones, all the way back to a 3GS, without luck.

Re: How to tell if I once had headlight washer jets?
If you have the build info for your car, look for feature 8X1 (Headlamp washer system). That will tell you if it was built with it. Mine was an Oct./08 build, with it.

Re: Cruise Control
I'm sure it worked once, because I couldn't cancel the setting until i touched the brake pedal.
I was fixated on the switch, so I didn't look for codes. Something to try.

Is there a common failure of the CC switch stalk? I used it once, and it hasn't worked since. No dash light when I try to enable the CC.

Old Scirocco and new phone
When I try to pair my Scirocco (October 2008) to my phone (iPhoneSE) it recognizes the phone name, but indicates it it not compatible.
It has the RNS510 and 9w2 bluetooth according to the build sticker, and is a German market car.
Is there a list of compatible phones?

Thanks for this! It formats a little funny in my browser, but is usable.

Parts Xref
Greetings from the Left Coast of Canada! :yippee: I recently purchased a 2009 Scirocco that was imported from Germany. Since the model was never imported Canada, part availability is low. Does anyone have a list of parts for the Scirocco that were the same as on other VW models? Or an online parts l...
