Re: Why Don't Service Departments Listen?

I'm so glad that I found this post. My car is due its 1st service this month & I thought a was a little paranoid about not letting VW valet my car whilst its there. I've seen there Valet's handy work when I 1st collected the car. Anyway I will make sure that I leave a post it note in the car jus...

Re: Bedding in brakes

I was warned by the salesman when I 1st drove away that the brakes will take a few miles to bed in as well as suspension, tyres etc. However I seem to experience the same sensation that everyone else has with this car. Its when you brake from 70 approaching a roundabout & you know you need to st...

Re: Scirocco pulls left

Mine does exactly the same. I don't think its anything I've done as I avoid bumping up kerbs & stuff. But things can be bend slightly from pot holes. etc. I have to say though that I've had this with nearly every car I've owned, none of them brand new before. From experience of trying to correct...

Re: F1 2010 Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka

Lewis is my favourite driver by far. However I thinks its well deserved & would be great for the sport if Red bull & Mark won the drivers championship.

I've seen this amp mentioned on here (http://www.bluespot.co.uk/car-audio.aspx/tha475-amplifier" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;), and it sounds from the writeup that it will happily integrate into the standard setup, but will 4x150w just be too much for the standard speaker...

Re: DEEP BLACK ROC 2.0TSI DSG ARRIVED IN CAPE TOWN

That looks really nice. I wish I had been able to afford the bi xenons but they are a very expensive & perhaps unnecessary option for me. Happy Roc'in.

Re: Different GAP Insurance

As bleedoff says - cars that hold their residual value well don't need gap insurance, unless you get the invoice gap and intend to torch your car to make a profit! With a Scirocco, if you've got a 3 to 5 year loan on it, after year 1, it should always be worth more than you owe on it - not somethin...

Re: How you finding the Roc for stonechips?

Thanks for the replies people, I didn't realise how busy this forum is. I think if I'm going to pay all that money to have it protected from stone chips than I may as well be fully protected & have the full bonnet, wing mirrors, bumper, headlights, grill. & looking at the kit it seems to hav...

Re: How you finding the Roc for stonechips?

I know this post is quite old but I'm due to take delivery of my Rocco this month & I was wondering if anyone could shed some more light on where abouts they get stone chips. I will use mine as a daily commute on motorways etc & my last car has taken a battering. I've already decided to get ...

Re: Guardian's Richard Williams....

I don't like that report. I'm of the opinion that the only person who should decide to let there team mate through is the other team mate ahead of them. It just denies us the viewers of any real kind of battles between team mates. We want to see them risk it all, that way you get to see there real t...

That really is a bit upsetting. After wanting one of these cars since release I can finally afford one & its on its way to the dealers now I hope. At least the car has a warranty & they are sorting it through the warranty, but there is always going to be a catch 22. On the brightside you wil...

Re: VW to set up R Division

So this is just a inbetween car? A GT with R engines, new wheels & a few new badges? Unless its significantly cheaper than the R I can't many people buying them. They should bring the polo into the mix & the passat surely.

Re: One for the Ladies "Nail Varnish" ?????

This is probably not going to help but what about if you just ordered the touch up paint brush in the same colour. That way you know it would be a perfect match & any paint that is left over you could use for the odd stone chip you get?
