Scirocco Central

I recently tried out my new sat nav for the first time (RNS510) on a trip from Liverpool to Leicester - wanted to see how good it was. Unfortunately, it didn't come up with the best route (i.e. fastest). The route I normally take is M6 to J15, A500 the A50, finally get on the M1. However the SatNav ...

Thanks !

I ordered it on 23rd September - it arrived at the dealers about 10th Jan. So, approx. 16 weeks.
Private purchase - not a company car or lease.

Finally got my Roc on Tuesday and, I have to say, what an amazing beast !!! :D Never thought driving a car could be so enjoyable. But the Roc does it for me. Things have changed a lot since my Golf TDI 130 (about 7 years ago) Turbo lag - gone Power - there when you want it Noise from the exhaust - :...

The V6 map should not affect the splash screen, this if the unit firmware, which it looks like they have lowered ? Could the "Restore Factory Settings" have done this? I know Restore Factory Settings usually just removes any user settings rather than firmware and that it is rare that any ...

Above is the latest software splash screen !, seems they have downgraded the software for some reason ? When I got the car, the RNS was in German and prompting me for the DVD whenever I tried to use the maps etc. The dealer said he didn't have a DVD in stock he could use - but then found one a bit ...

I did have - before they took the car away to load the DVD. Now it's a colour picture with just Volkswagen written across the screen. I'll try and get a photo uploaded today.

The car was built 52-2009 so I'm assuming it is suitable for latest firmware and maps.

I got my car this morning :D and the RNS510 was not setup - it had no map and was in German. It kept prompting me to enter the DVD before I could do anything. The dealer got the service guy to reset the system and install the DVD. However, I'm positive I had the new splash screen when I gave it to h...

I'm going to pick mine up from the dealers (hopefully in the first week of May) as they are only seven miles alway. They will give my better half a lovely bunch of flowers. Wonder if they'll fill it with motion lotion? :rolleyes: I'm picking mine up tomorrow :clap: I was supposed to get it on Satur...

The dealer should have sorted registration out in terms of allocating a plate before you arrived ditto the tax disc.. The system works also Saturdays and Sundays.. anyway unless your dealer is a one man band I'd have expected the back office to have sorted all the paperwork for the salesman. I'd gu...

Glad that didn't happen to me when I picked mine up as it was 200 miles away! :) TBH that's a rubbish excuse. What's his excuse for not getting off his backside and visiting the nearest DVLA office to do it manually? I thought they could just pop down the post office as well, but he gave me some ex...

You would have thought they would have let you know yesterday To be honest, the salesman has been rubbish. Not once has he contacted me during the order - I've had to chase him every time. As I was leaving he did say he'd contact me if the system came back on today. I had to bite my tongue from tel...

I went to collect my brand new Roc today and got told I couldn't have it because it hasn't been registered and taxed yet :? Apparently, the network was down between the dealership and DVLA (they said it was down for the whole of the UK, but I think they were just full of c**p). They told me it went ...

I once got offered a Ford KA as a replacement for my Cougar.

Needless to say, I didn't leave my car with them and took it to a different dealer. They didn't offer me a courtesy car as I could get the train to/from home to the garage easier.

Never bought another Ford since!

That's exactly what I had thought and understood. But when you get someone who questions it, it's always nice to get confirmation from a fellow Roccer

Thanks !

Does the RNS510 sat nav run from the DVD or from the HDD? I have ordered the RNS510 standard (i.e. no cd changer or dynaudio) Speaking to a colleague who has a SEAT Cupra R, his does not have a hard drive and he has copied the DVD to an SD card and runs it from that. His build week was approx 26/201...

You're right! I can use the 7 days free insurance
Still need to pay for the car though

I've just spoken to my dealer and he's told me that my car is at the dealer waiting to be collected! :) ordered on 23rd September. Build week 52 Bit disappointed that he didn't tell me this last week as I now have to sort the insurance and finance our before I can collect :( Not sure if I'll be able...

I'm still waiting for the dealer to get back to me, but all this input is really good. I did have a read of my purchase agreement the other day and part of it relates to the "contract" and when I need to pay. Apparently, I have 21 days from the date I am informed my car is available for de...

Just had confirmation from my dealer that my car is getting built next week :D which should mean delivery to me in early Jan. Now, my dilema is whether I wait until 1st March and get a new reg?? The dealer doesn't have any problem with me doing that - afterall, they already have the sale, but the pr...

Welcome to the Jungle !
