Yeah I dothat as well!
Unfortunately mine was on the end of a parking space near a corner (but still a good 20 feet away from it!) and somebody side swiped it and just drove off.

Re: Public Parking
I was super careful with parking, and always paid so much attention always parking on ends etc. Then the other day my car was parked on a side street and when I returned it had been inexplicabley smashed into and green paint left on my shiny black roc. Really, there is nothing you can do about it, l...

Quick Delivery Question
If ordering rocco's now, how long is the delivery time?
I might be changing jobs and hence handing back my company rocco, if I move somewhere else I want another one!
Looking at the 1.4 and 2.0 petrol versions...

Re: Computer and Steering Wheel
There is also something a bit 'raw' about just having the steering wheel looking plain and without buttons...looks a bit more 'racing' than having your volume control button on it!

Re: 1.4 scirocco engine
I imagine when they first started just bolting turbos onto sub 1.6 litre engines you got into a bit of trouble - the early Renault 5 turbos spring to mind. But modern engines are so much more reliable and better engineered. I doubt that it will go as far as a large BMW diesel but I reckon it will ou...

Re: 1.4 tsi problems
You could just set the mpg on the computer to give instant updating. I can get it to go at around 60mpg on the M40 if I sit on the inside lane 'feathering' the throttle. I can also easily get it down to 1mpg when pulling away from the lights though ;-)

Re: 1.4 tsi problems
On the power delivery - a lot is made of the supercharger working down the rev range but cant really feel it as much as I thought I would - I can hear it though!

...twatted into my rocco overnight - left a load of green paint on the front right wing and taken off some paint. Of course being the sort of retarded person who cant even miss stationary objects drove off to leave me to deal with it. Is this a 'send it back to VW to get sorted' job? Any idea how mu...

Its Bugging me
...am doing at least one 200 mile motorway drive a week now and am getting somewhat annoyed at those damn bugs that go and die on my bonnet and refuse to budge during a wash. I read the detailing guide, it mentions 'claying' but sounds a bit scary and way too much work (as I need to do this weekly!)...

Re: Discounts at main dealer with broadspeed sheet printed?
I think the point being made is that cost to change hides the bargaining potential. If two businesses are offering two different prices for the car and the exchange no reason why you cannot use this information as a haggling tool. I think we all agree that if they charge more for the new car and off...
