Re: Tyre pressure
I don't own my Scirocco anymore, but from memory, I tended to inflate to 33-35 PSI. For sure if carrying a heavier load, occasionally I inflated to a little bit higher, but never did I inflate over 39.

Re: Tailgate will not open.
At a guess, it is not the central locking switch activated so passenger door and tailgate are locked?lloydie63 wrote:Tailgate will not open using the keyfob but OK with the lever inside the driver door. Any deas as to why?
On our Polo, I have to double click the fob to unlock passenger door and tailgate.

Re: Sat Nav map location change
Indeed, almost certainly the shark fin aerial. I had this on mine back in 2015.

Re: Main dealer vs independent (Cambelt & pump)
Yes - for an older vehicle, I would be inclined to go with the independent. I find the service to generally be superior than at the main dealership and they quite often are happy to tackle other smaller issues, which the main dealer would refuse or quote a ridiculous amount.

Re: New owner help
My 11 year old Scirocco only had 35K on it when I sold it at the start of this year. Some lucky person has got themselves a mint (un-modded) example.

Re: Water pump leak
My 09 plate Scirocco (recently sold) had a replacement water pump when it only had 6K miles on it, but that was back in 2010! As per Paradox1 comment, I don't think it is common, but I would expect VW to offer up some goodwill with only 16K on the clock so long as it has been serviced within the dea...

Re: Scirocco GT or R
I would go for the R-line as with the GT you will be getting more of the same so to speak. I think the R-Line will give a different driving experience with the DSG. But of course, depends on the condition of wither vehicle before you make your choice, but it would be the R-Line for me.

Re: P0441 fault

I had this code, not on my Scirocco but on our Polo GTI. It did turn out to be the EVAP control valve t...

Re: Engine Oil level check light
Hi all, A couple of quick question, hope they make sense: this is regarding the 1.4tsi Scirocco that has 3.6 litres of oil capacity. 1: Below what point does the engine oil level check light comes on? If the engine oil level check light comes on for the very 1st time, does the engine still have som...

Re: New to the forum- Clutch question
I am fortunate to experience the best of both worlds, my Scirocco is manual but we also own a Polo GTI DSG which I have great fun with. For most of the time, then yes - the gear lever is in full auto, but I tend to go into manual control for more spirited driving or on steep hill climbs where the DS...

Re: Folding mirrors help
I don't think you can use the fob to fold the mirrors. Mine is an early model (2009) where you use the rotary switch to retract the mirrors and push them back out again, but I don't believe it is any different on later models I'm afraid.

Re: MDI and Iphone
My car is also a 2009 model and I can confirm I don't get any issues with my iPhone through the MDI. My iPhone is an iPhone6 but running the latest iOS12.
I have to run it with legitimate Apple cables though and as we know, being Apple branded they ain't cheap!

Re: What bottle is this in my engine? Help a dummie
Yes, coolant reservoir, but must be filled with G12/G13 coolant (not plain water), and then, don’t exceed the max fill line to allow for expansion.

Re: P0444 - Evap Emission System Purge Control Valve
We had that code on our Polo GTI (twin charge engine). Think the part was around £63. It is I think relatively easy to replace yourself, but I got a VW indpendent to do the work.
Cost me £177 including diagnostic fee.

Re: Wastegate clip
I thought the wastegate clip was only for the petrol 2 litre, I had the clip fitted to my car back in 2012. I may be wrong on that though.
