Re: 1.4 160 idle misfires :'(

Shouldn't they be paying the full bill? Agreed. Under the aforementioned Consumer Rights Act you shouldn't be paying anything! It is down to the garage you bought the car from to either repair it - at entirely their own expense - or give you a full refund. This isn't some optional thing they can ta...

Re: Shipping a Scirocco from Northern Ireland to London...he

I'd also point out that if your potential vehicle is old enough to have been MOT'd then MOTs in NI are performed in government test centres, not private garages. I'm quite sure GB MOTs are entirely trustworthy, but you can definitely be sure as to the independence and quality of an NI MOT.

Re: Shipping a Scirocco from Northern Ireland to London...he

I'm in Northern Ireland and have just sold my low mileage 2013 1.4 (160) TSI to an approved dealer a few weeks ago. I've since seen it advertised for £3k more than I got for it. :mad: Perhaps I should have offered it on here first! As has been said, you can simply re-register the vehicle if you don'...

Re: Volkswagen Emission Scandal

I went into Vw the other day and spoke to an after sales agent. He told me that sales haven't really changed. His words were 'we sold cars yesterday, we've sold cars today and we'll sell cars tomorrow!' Well a VW salesperson would say that, wouldn't they? According to http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/busi...

Re: Missing manuals?

Latest update - the dealers have got in touch with me to say that VW aren't supplying radio manuals with new models at the moment! I'm not sure if this is temporary, or perhaps an attempt to save a few pounds. They've ordered one for me, but I have to say that having spent nearly £25k on a new car I...

Missing manuals?

I've just collected my new Scirocco, which has replaced my old 2010 model. The new car has the RNS 315 sat nav system and comes with Bluetooth. When I checked the document wallet, I found that I only have the main manual relating to the car itself (along with the service and assistance booklets). I ...

Re: Faulty Passenger Side Electric Window - £500 to repair?

I had to have the passenger side window motor / regulator replaced last year. While in the dealers having this done the driver side window failed too, so I had to have it fixed as well! Luckily it was within the warranty period.

VW Approved Tyre Sizes

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could tell me what are the VW-approved tyre sizes for my 1.4 TSi? I am considering fitting winter tyres, but want to stick to manufacturer approved sizes to avoid any insurance hassles. I've read the car's manual but can't find a list of approved tyre sizes anywhere in ...
