Re: Scirocco pulls left

Yes mine kinda does - well it doesn't pull left as such but I do feel I'm steering slightly right as you say to keep it straight. I'm not 100% sure if it's the steering wheel not proper straight (there's another thread on this) or the tracking maybe. Taking mine in for a service this week and I've m...

Re: To Dsg or Not To Dsg

Mine will hold 2nd till almost a stop but only in 'D', does yours hold it in manual mode too? By reset do you mean the hold the accelerator before starting thing? Or a dealer reset?

Re: To Dsg or Not To Dsg

One thing I find slightly annoying about the DSG that it will sometimes drop in to 1st gear (this is when in manual mode) for a slow corner, when in a manual you'd leave it in 2nd, maybe slip the clutch a little bit. What's even more strange is that in 'D' it will leave it in 2nd a lot longer (and s...

Re: Break pedal position on DSG

I have most definitely noticed this on my Roc. Has anyone spoken to their dealership about this? Can the brake pedal be adjusted? I actually find the brake pedal extremely uncomfortable to use and don't want to move the seat too far back as this will put me too far away from the accelerator. I doub...

Re: Break pedal position on DSG

I have to be honest with you I feel exactly the same way about my DSG brake pedal. I have come from a MKV Golf DSG and the pedal was further back (not much though but enough to annoy me). I do now sit ever so slightly further back than i used to but the seating position in the Rocco is different an...

Re: Break pedal position on DSG

Yes will do - although I'm not sure how noticeable it would be.. Seems safe to assume no-one else has noticed this then?? :P

Re: Break pedal position on DSG

Is it like mine http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y8/182_blue/589de57a.jpg Hmm - difficult to say really, I think it's possible yours is better than mine position wise. I've come from a MK5 GTI manual and no way did I have to move my foot up and back the way I have to do now on the Roc. I did a sear...

Re: How level is your steering wheel?

Yeah mine is off too - and on the exaggerated by the road camber side of the fence. It's a used one though so not sure if VW will do anything about it. Taking it for its first service this week so will ask.

Break pedal position on DSG

Just picked up a Scirocco DSG.. It's the first DSG car I've owned although I hired a DSG TT for the weekend a while back. Anyone else think the break pedal is too high? To the point of being awkward. I have to have my seat back further than I'd like to try and compensate for it. Do you think this is...

Dials

I've been reading a lot about the computer perhaps changing to white, but couldn't find an answer to the following.. Have the dials always been white? I sat in one today at a dealers and they were, but did they start out as Blue on earlier cars?
