Re: Aircon compressor fix
This was extremely useful :clap: . I had a similar problem with my aircon. Tried the recharge at a local garage no no avail. Similarly suggested a compressor replacement. I had a go this afternoon based on this thread and lo and behold I find my clutch spinning and no bolt. Removed it and just as ab...

Re: Snapped rear shock / Damper
Got both from VW for £405 inc VAT. Seems the branch I use have made a change meaning you may no longer pay over the phone, which is quite annoying. I had to get away early from work, but they gave me some discount as a result :) They shoud have been £225 as Paddy_R says. On 2 day delivery as they we...

Re: Snapped rear shock / Damper
Oohya! That's a fair amount for a damper. Suppose that's the price of the electronic trickery. I'll give VW a ring tomorrow and get a quote.

Snapped rear shock / Damper
Has anyone ever had the top of your rear shock snap? I had a very worrying knocking start from the rear of the car today. I went poking around and found I could remove the top of the rear shock from its mounting cup :eyepop: ! No visible threads on the end of the shock whatsoever. I guess these are ...

Nope, no subwoofer in Dynaudio. Otherwise I would not be requesting one in the next version

Re: Scirocco Facelift 2013 - your ideas please..
I would support the following:
1,4,5,9,13,21,22,25,29,46,59,60,71 & 74.
I would also add the addition of a subwoofer to the Dynaudio package. Just not enough depth for my liking.

Re: Brake pad lifespan
My rears were just replaced at 36k miles. I asked them to keep the pads for me to see as I could not believe the rears were fully worn after only 36k. Turned out there was plenty pad left, but the pad surface was breaking up, mainly at the edges but at least one chunk from the middle. The mechanic r...

Re: electrically adjustable seats
I deliberately did not add this to my order because of the length of time it takes for the electric seat to move forward to allow passengers in the back. It takes an age !! If you intend on having rear passengers I would leave well alone.

Don't like it myself but I am not sure this is done purely for a client. More to show off the different things available.
Still to busy for my liking though.

Re: Bonnet stay
Yeah, its a bit crap. I have a 8+ year old Peugeot that has gas struts on the bonnet.
Pretty poor I would say on a £23K + car.

Re: week 45 model changes
Which AC unit, this? I think the top picture is the Climate and the second one the standard Air Con. I was wondering if any other VWs had a starter button and could only think of the one in the Passat, which is a combined slot for the key and start button. http://memimage.cardomain.com/ride_images/...

Re: Girlfriend driving the Scirocco !!
When I asked the insurance company they said it was reduced due to a perceived reduction in risk. The £20 is the fee to add the driver. Apparently having two people on the policy, especially a female, suggests that you will value the car more. If you crash it effects the other driver also so the thi...
