Re: TDi 170 GT DSG Viper 18 months 60,000 miles

Moving past what colour it is, and the well reasoned arguments over TSI v. TDI... What were the symptoms of the DSG failure? Hi, the only symptom was that it started making a noise like a very loose bag of spanners - but still drove. Took it to the VW dealer who listened to it and gave me a spare c...

Re: TDi 170 GT DSG Viper 18 months 60,000 miles

My 170 DSG is still young, only 35,000 in 20 months. I'm worried by your DSG failure though, was it a big bang or a gradual decline? Mine's getting a bit clunky on the changes from 2nd to 3rd under heavy throttle, and occassionally behaves as though a clutch is slipping setting off from junctions.....

Re: What Colour?

Go for Viper Green, Scirocco doesnt really photo very well and its not until you see Viper Green in the flesh, so to speak, that you can see the muscular shape of the car beneath It is not an ASBO colour, and I have had nothing but enthusiastic comments about my choice :clap: I really enjoy my Sciro...

Re: Pewter Grey discontinued. Replaced with Indium Grey?

Hi, I've just found the new colours in the new Sharan brochure on the German website. I'm still not sure whether I've chosen the right colour though because the colours in the brochure sometimes don't reflect the exact colour.
