Car Cover

Hi guys

Anybody got a recommendation for a car cover for the Roc? All the ones I've seen on Amazon get pretty average reviews

Android Auto Wireless Headunits

Hi

Has anybody successfully switched out the headunit for a AA wireless unit? Looking for any recommendations that ideally would be a pull out and replace :D

Cheers

Re: Driver's window re-opening by itself after closing - FIX

I had similar, I just wound both windows down all the way at the same time and held the down buttons a few secs afterwards and then both up all the way. This resets it I believe and I've not had any trouble since (touchwood)

Re: Replace windscreen scuttle panel

Hi, thanks for the reply. Yes I managed to change it ok, got a replacement part from ebay which came from Latvia and was brand new. The two sides just slide across and then it popped off. Fortunately it was the passenger side that I needed to replace so I didn't have to worry about the wipers. :clap:

Re: Scirocco 1.4 TSI turbo failure

Do a cost analysis, how much would it cost for a replacement car vs the cost to date. That is probably something like £15-20k vs £2k and if the parts have been replaced they shouldn't fail for at least a couple of years, hopefully longer. In terms of the wobble, I would have a tyre alignment and bal...

Replace windscreen scuttle panel

hi guys I have a split in the passenger side windscreen scuttle panel. I had a look and I couldn't see any obvious screws or fixings that hold it in place, it just seems to be pressed into the rubber strip and up to the bottom of the windscreen, is it simple to replace or when I pull the old one out...

To buy a R or not?

Hey all, I've previously driven a GT and a GTS, then when the Roc was discontinued I went to a Merc. I'm now changing jobs so have to get my own car, so looking back at the Roc because its such a great car to drive, held the road so well and I never had any problems with them. My budget is approx £2...

Re: Which scirocco to buy?

I've driven the TDI140 manual and now the TDI177 manual, they both drove perfectly so as Plyphon says, just buy whatever car you want

Re: CAR FROM HELL!!!!!!!!!!

So you have a £25k+ car but won't spend £115 to get a complete diagnosis that VW will recognise. Not sure that is smart you can always make a claim for that money back afterwards? Sounds like it would be helpful documentation for a small claims court filing.

Good luck

Re: New engine

Don't you void the warranty if you push the revs into the red zone? I thought it recorded that in the diagnostics, so VW would have just checked that.. but anyway that's off topic :shake: Never heard of that in my life. So would the same apply to a super car? Or a car that the power kicks in from h...

GTS Servicing

Hi guys Wonder if you can help me out with a service query. My GTS has done just over 10k miles and I get the "Oil Change" displayed on the dash. I booked the car in for a service but the garage are stating that they don't need to service it until 20k miles and basically I can just pop in ...

Re: sat nav

The stock SatNav is basic and not particularly impressive. I ended up buying a TomTom GO 5000 which is great at getting you around traffic.

Re: New facelift order

I saw a new face model the other day, it looks better in the flesh than in the pictures. Probably sounds weird but it seemed lower, flatter and more square-ish on the road. I feel envious of you guys :)
