Scirocco Central

Had mine turned off using vagcom. Have a look in roccopedia as there was a way to turn off some build years without vagcom

Yep. It's because they act as drl's and so are on all the time.

Try Russ at Midlands Car Care. He did mine and is excellent. Based in Walsall

Cheers Chris!

Covers been off and on a few times but think the low temps at the moment left the rubber a little brittle

Does anyone know if the rubber grommets that are on the 1.4 engine cover at the attachment points are available to buy and what the part number is? One of mine split.

Cheers!

Did you have the brake fluid changed too?

Service was £197 including brake fluid change.

Had its third service and first MOT today. First time in over 10 years I've kept a car long enough for it to have an MOT!

Seemed very frisky on the way back and that's with Revo turned to stock!

Cleaned my ITG filter. Here's a picture of how it looked before - not bad for a year and a half's use!:- http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y35/Deacon666/2012-01-22_1507321.jpg I got hold of some Zircotec coating which I've applied to the filter housing as in the 1.4 it sits close to the exhaust manif...

Took the exhaust and filter off ready for its service. Very quiet now! Your dealer not mod friendly or something ?? Dunno to be honest! Wanted to give the itg a good clean anyway and fit the heat shielding i bought for it. Last 3 year warranty service so didn't want to give them any excuses (althou...

I'd come

The remap bits an interesting question. Mines got a few mods and the warranty runs out at the end of this month. I wasn't going to do anything about this but am now wondering whether to renew it but then considering if there's any point due to the mods?

Hmmm... decisions, decisions

If the porsche non metallic had been available i'd definitely have had it. Reckon the rs orange would look good too

Welcome on board! I'm 99% sure there is no post limit for photos. You either need to add them as attachements (below the main post window) or, probably the better way, host them on something like photobucket and include the img links in your posts. Look forwards to seeing some pictures of the 'roc a...

Yes they do. It's £85 for 1 year or £145 for 2

Booked its third year service and first MOT - £250
Renewed my breakdown cover for another two years - £145
Had my tax renewal through - £165

So £560 to pay in January! Doh.

As for putting only 122, it is pretty similar to the 160ps so if you do own a 160 please put it under the 122 . thanks guys. It really isn't. To get any real sense you also need to include if the cars mapped or not plus the usual type of driving (mainly urban, etc). More accurate and better for peo...

Gave mine a clean (my niece had kindly written clean me on the back!)

I also had a look at my build sticker for when mine was made - week 50 on a Thursday - so I think that makes it the second week in December 2008. Anyone got an older 1.4?

Liking that! Would like a mk2 track car myself

My car is lowered 35mm, so I didnt even try it without raising it. I also have a huge workshop at my work (we are building machines on truck chassis so my Scirocco fits without problem :P ) so I did it indoors. Winter time is not nice here in Sweden. Also, with a normal screw driver, you wouldnt ha...
