acc possible issue

Hi Guys,

Just a quick one. Has anyone ever had their ACC switch starting to flash. But when you turn the engine off and back on again all has been fine. Its only happened twice but I'm just wondering if anyone knows what it might be?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Re: Motability Scirocco

Viper green wouldn't be classed as an extra as motability only let u have metallic colours anyway so it's covered in the price of the deposit. Not modifications allowed unfortunately. Although if it is small stuff that you can take off when it goes for services or you return it then I guess you coul...

Re: Scirocco Facelift 2013 - your ideas please..

I reckon a few more bright colours wouldn't go a miss! :-) I think something along the lines of the focus ST and RS colours would look pretty mean!

Re: Scirocco Facelift 2013 - your ideas please..

It is a bit of a basic one but Led drl's throughout the range rather than the headlights as drl's! Or at least on the GT. Finishes a car off so much better.

Multi function steering wheel question.

This has been bugging me for ages! If I am driving and want to go into a playlist button via the 'selection' button on the radio, is there a way of doing this and scrolling through it on the steering wheel. Or is the only way through the radio itself?

Many Thanks.

Re: Sad Day the Rocco has gone :(

awww gutted Jodie,

And I had been looking out for you again incase you were around the Wirral again. Like you say though theres no point having it if it isn't practical for you.

Out of interest what are you replacing it with? Hope it is still something fun.

Tyre pressure light reset

Apologies if this has been asked before. My tyre pressure indicator light came on after checking the pressures at the garage. Vw are telling me it needs to go in to be reset. Is this correct? I did search but could not see an exact answer to my query.

Thanks for your help.

Re: Headlights on all the time

The headlights being on all the time doesn't really bother me, because after all what is the problem. However, it does seem odd and I wonder if anyone has ever had an official announcement from Vw as to why they are done like this? Would have looked far better to have led's standard on all models.

Due to surgery I have been driving the car quite sparingly anyway. So perhaps once I am driving it every day it will work better. :-)

ipod question.

I leave my ipod in the car at all time to act as a hard drive for playing my music. When i get in the car, the ipod is often flat and takes about 5 minutes b4 it becomes available. Should the ipod be switching off when the car is turned off and therefore retain its charge, or should I have to be man...

Re: Just for fun...

I'm still going after 6 months and hope to maintain it for the full 3 years I will have the car. I think regular cleaning is the way to go. Apart from anything else if you keep on top of it, it's a much smaller job when you come to do it though. Keen to keep my leather good, although I have never ha...

Re: Crashed My Roc!

I was involved in a similar accident where a car pulled out on me from a lay by. The other driver tried to say I was speeding but got told it's irrelevant because he still took my road. Strangely enough, 2 years later he is now taking me to court to dispute the repair cost despite being forced to ad...

Pressure washers

Any thoughts on whether or not pressure washers can strip paint as I have heard a few people suggest this recently?
