Auto lights and DRL's

I know there have been numerous threads about this subject, but none of them says something about the rear lights on the roc. I have my new car for 4 days now and found out that the rear lights can't be switched off. With the light switch on 0 the front main lights are on together with the side ligh...

Re: RCD-510 sharkfin antenna?

The one at the dealer with the RCD-310 had a smooth roof, no sign of an aerial.

RCD-510 sharkfin antenna?

Could anyone confirm if the RCD-510 radio has an antenna on the roof.
had seen a roc in the showroom with a rcd-310 fitted and the antenna was integrated in one of the rear side windows.

Re: Color decision black/white?

I went for the black one. Still have to wait a week or two before it's here. If you take care of your car and wash it once a week with good products and put a decent carnauba wax (dodo juice or autoglym etc...) on it, the black will stay very very nice. I recently did this with my dad's car ( a blac...

Re: 1.4 160PS vs 2.0 210PS

Install an Abt remap and keep your factory warranty :D
should equal a 2.0 in power and torque (if not better than the 2.0!)
The only downside is the price of the Abt remap but it's still £1500 less than the 2.0( In Belgium :P )

Re: Tyre prices for 18" GT

If you want to buy some good winter tyres i would suggest you look for continental wintercontact TS810S tyres, they are very good.

Re: Worry about nothing, maybe!!!

It will work, the indicator does not measure pressure it measures the circumference of each tyre and when the circumference decreases it will indicate a flat tyre

Re: So what does a Scirocco owner do for a living then?

Daddy paid the biggest part because i recently crashed my motorcycle (paid it myself :D ) and he doesn't want me to buy a new one so he kind of pushed me into buying a new car :D

Re: XDS-now as an option

Isn't the XDS just an upgrade for the ESP system? VW is charging 200€ for the XDS in Germany. I think it's like the hill hold assist, that's also an added function of the ESP system.
Does anyone here have a mechanical LSD installed? (Quaiffe or VWR ...)

Re: XDS-now as an option

Don't go for the XDS, it's a modified ESP and it will make your brakes wear out much faster. (will brake on the inside wheel) If you intend to drive the car hard from time to time, the xds will take the fun out of it because it will slow the inner wheel down too hard making the car slow down. The ad...
