Wing mirror cover

Need some help...

Someone kindly smashed the white plastic cover off my drivers side wing mirror and I'm now going to have to replace it. The wing mirror itself is fine.

Just been quoted £150 by VW for part, painting and fitment. Unbelievable.

Can anyone recommend an alternative solution?

Spotify on iPhone

Has anyone got Spotify on the iPhone to work in their car? Doesn't seem to output anything using the multimedia cable.

Re: Ooooohhh, new toy to fit

Is that a complete kit or an upgrade? Can it be added to rcd510?

Launch Control

Right guys, does the Scirocco have launch control? If so, is this just the DSG or can it be performed with a manual?

I keep reading a lot of contradictory posts.

Re: Latest Premium Bluetooth Module

Is this an upgrade or will it work with RCD510 that has no Bluetooth?

Car wash disaster

Took my roc through a car wash last week and it turns out the windows dont go high enough to seal unless you take the keys out of the ignition.The interior and I got soaked!

Fortunately I saw the funny side and thought I would warn you guys!

Supercharger and turbocharger

Am I correct in saying that the 2.0 TSI has both a turbo charger and super charger?

Does anyone have any further information on these? How easy isn't to increase the turbo pressure?

Re: Rattle from passenger side at low revs?

My roc does have a sunglasses holder. Was this an added extra? I do have the sunroof though.

Re: Micro USB Lead

I think the phone might be too big and I'm not sure it will fit in the compartment with the adaptor on. :(

Micro USB Lead

Is it possible to get an MDI lead with a micro-usb plug?

Alternatively, can anyone recommend the latest/best bluetooth kit for the stereo? Would be nice to stream music from the new window phone 7! :)

Re: Radio is hard to use

Haha, I build web based software for a living, so do a lot with interfaces. Think it could be improved a lot.

Radio is hard to use

Am I missing something or is it incredibly hard to navigate through an iphone/ipod that is attached to the stereo? If I'm looking for an album or artist it can take ages of scrolling or dragging to try and find it. Is there a better way of scrolling? Also, do VW do firmware upgrades to their stereos...

Re: Metallic Ringing Noise

Thanks Trix. There are still quite a few things it could be though. Need to do a bit more investigating. :)

Metallic Ringing Noise

Had the scirocco for 10 days and have noticed a rather annoying high-pitched metallic ringing noise that comes from the engine when I hit 2000 rpm. Is this the turbo or a common engine sound? Generally does it when its cold, but is a little bit annoying.

Official answer from my dealer was "ask your finance company, they own it".
