Re: Thumping like sound from passenger side
Hello everyone, Took it once again to the tyre shop. The tyre guy told me that the noice I hear is obviously coming from the tyres after we took the scirocco for a ride. He hand-checked the tyres after and said that due to the tyres being of such low profile (really "sporty" as he said) th...

Re: Thumping like sound from passenger side
Hello fifer,
Thx for ur response. I am not sure that it won't be related to the tyres. The one tyre that had a visible problem was replaced...
I've read somewhere else about tyre's broken belts and that they may not be visible? Anyone familiar with this?

Re: Thumping like sound from passenger side
Hello everyone,
Following my previous post, I changed the tyre that was damaged with exaclty the same tyre, Pirelli P Zero Cinturato (seal inside).
Expected for the thumping sound to go away, but it's still there
Please, anyone with any suggestion?
Thanks

Thumping like sound from passenger side
Hello Roc enthousiasts! I recently spotted a weird sound that my roc is making. When I slowly accelerate from 2nd to 3rd gear (around 30 kmh) or slowing down to 2nd gear, a thumping like sound is produced that can be also slightly felt from the pedals. The sound is seems to be concurrent with the mo...

1.4 TSI 160 hp (Twincharged) - supercharger belt cut
Hello guys, It took me a while to report this, but I finally found the time to share it with you. After six months of owning the twincharged 1.4 scirocco, I got the catalyst warning lamp on. Prior to the lamp going on, I was feeling the car to be really slow at low revs (where the supercharger engag...
