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...
