It's right at the bottom of the pillar which has the lock on it, just above the sill.

220PS Scirocco? PHOTO NOW ADDED.

Don't know whether this has been covered before, but there is a sticker at the bottom of the drivers' door pillar of the 2.0 GT TSI saying that the power output is 220PS? I thought it was 200PS?

Service Package?

Did anyone manage to buy a service package when they bought their car? When you buy a new Polo or a Golf you can buy 3 years servicing for £225. I asked about this, but I was told it was not available on Sciroccos. Seems a bit odd seeing you can even buy it for the new GTI Golf?

Re: How much have I been offered for my Scirocco?

I hazard a guess you have not taken the dealer up on his offer! Correct, no way is the dealer making £3-4K at my expense, just as well I'm not desperate to sell! :lol: I reckon I could keep it a year and still get around £15k for it with say 5k miles on the clock. I think privately it's currently g...

Re: How much have I been offered for my Scirocco?

My guess.. £15,000? List Price £22,000 minus 10% discount, minus 15% VAT = £16830 minus around £2000 for dealer margin = £15,000. He can then put it on the forecourt for £18-19k and have around 1-2k haggling space... Was it a good guess??? No prizes, but jc74 was spot on - almost like he had inside...

How much have I been offered for my Scirocco?

Bought my car brand new in late January 2009 - 58 reg GT 2.0TSI manual, completely standard other than black pearl paint and reversing sensors and I asked my dealer if he would buy it back off me (long story). How much do you reckon I was offered?

Re: DRL Survey

I'm now on two letters, three on-line complaints and several phone calls with VW Customer Service trying to get the DRLs switched off. They have yet to reply to either of my letters or on-line complaints in writing or by eMail. They seem to prefer verbal communication only, usually to my home while...

Re: DRL Survey

I was told by VW that they could switch them off, but it would take most of the day to do, and then could not be switched on again, a sort of one shot deal, dont know if i was getting the bums rush, but ive decided just to switch to sidelights. Once your VW dealership have the coding from VW (mine ...

If PVW / Golf+ feature that i'll cancel my subscription. No offence but its just some paint and wheels, hardly ground breaking. . . .

Sorry to hear you're still not sorted. Lookers got the info from VW in less than 24 hrs. I think you need to speak to your dealership again? Good luck.

Well done. Looks like I've got to have another afternoon at the dealer then... :rolleyes: Do you know if they used the VAG-COM switches shown on the screen-shots above?
