Scirocco Central

Ive just swapped from a 54 plate A3 3.2 v6 quattro sline dsg which was essentially a Mk5 R32 badged up as an Audi. It was a fantastic car and as youve said the engine sounds fantastic with low down torque thats astonishing. I drove a brand new r32 when i was looking for a new car but have to admit i...

Right then,
Firstly should we start a list of who would be intrested? and where your based so as we can work out a suitable location? Maybe we could tie a RR shootout day in with this sometime over the summer?

1. Andy500, Black GT. Cheshire

Thanks for that will be on there later as i need a few things for my Mini. Where are you guys based? What are the chances of us setting up a demo day where you demonstrate the use of your products on one of our cars? Im sure we could find a suitable test specimen.

Hey guys thanks for posting im sure i will be using you in the future. Do you have a link to your website?

Mines the same as well, slightly off center (left hand down) maybe ther guy at the factory who fits the wheels has a dicky left eye???

Anyone from here ?

Im from Congleton but work in Manchester.

Just got a call from the dealers this morning saying that my car is now awaiting shipping so they hope to have it by the end of April. Woo hoo 3 months now and im getting fed up of waiting!

Guys, engines and gearboxes are now machined with much better internal tolerances and finishes, hence the days of being stuck behind a car with a big poster saying "Running In-Please Pass By" are long gone. This is why modern engines also run on much thinner oils. Changing the engine oil t...

This is my other car, its a Mini Classic Cooper Sport 500, meaning ots one of the last 500 original minis ever built. Untill my Scirocco arives this is the only other car ive had from new. Its a weekend blaster and is a bit of a sleeper. Its running a supercharger of the BMW cooper s so it can hold ...

Andy, Ive done excactly the same as you with my A3 3.2 V6 as if i waited untill the roc was built it would have been worth £750 less!

You can control the temperature its just that its via an analogue dial rather than a digital display. Simple air con is either on or off.

I ve ordered mine in black and i had a change of mind a couple of weeks ago and really fancied the white. The stealer wouldnt let me change it though as mine had gone to "build confirmed". The only way round it would have been to cancel my order and replace it for a new one but this would ...

Good point that, an off red would look naff. Maybe still worth trying though as the difference may be so subtle that the human eye couldnt tell the difference.

I must admit i prefer the cloth to the leather. Ive ordered mine in the cloth as i just liked the look and feel of it a litle bit more. Besides the £1400 that it saved left a fair chunk of money for options etc. Ive had a fair few cars with lumbar support now from Golfs to S3's and a variety of Ford...

There water marks because you didnt leather off/dry the car. Water is a solvent and as such it contains all sorts of impurities which are left behind and leave these marks when the water evaporates. Next time make sure you dry the car asap after washing with a leather or good quality terry towels. ...

Adding to the above and about not polishing new/soft paint.......Autoglym Extra loss Protection is ideal here as its completely non arasive and doesnt contain any cleansers, its applied with no pressure to prevent swirls/scratching of the topcoat. Mine will be getting treated to it as soon as it arr...

I always use Autoglym or Zymol, i highly rate the Zymol car body wash, you can get it from halfords

try to avoid using Fairy liquid on your car at all times, it contains salt amongst some other pretty powerfull degreasents which arent the best for bodywork. If you everrun out of car wash then use a shampoo (just not shampoo and conditioner) as its not that disssimilar and doesnt contain all the ha...

Cheers fellas, The dealers told me that my car should be ready some time in May so i guess its a case of phoning them a couple of weeks before to make sure all is present and accounted for.

Keep the tips coming chaps.

Thanks all
Andy
