Re: Re-Maps - Why don't VW give the extra BHP in the first place

Sam, your 'Roc will take on and beat a 325i Coupe no probs (Run in or Non run in lol) The original Scirocco review in Top Gear magazine had a BMW 125i coupe (same engine as in the 3 series, 3 litre non turbo) and a Golf GTi and the 'Roc thrashed both around a track. There is also video footage (on ...

Re: Re-Maps - Why don't VW give the extra BHP in the first place

Insurance! That would be my first guess, thats why they underquote the the acceleration figures too, 0-60 takes 7.2 secs according to VW which is actually comical :shake: :D What do you think a more likely figure is for a standard 2.0TSI?

Re: Problems with MDI and iPod

My Ipod also stays on after the ignition is switched off but after a minute or so switches itself off. Have you tried another Ipod with the MDI? This would narrow down the problem to see if its your Ipod at fault or the MDI.

Re: what headlights will i get?

VW cruise will retro fit xenons. Not sure about the cost for the roc but for a mk5 golf its £350, i'm sure the roc won't cost much more than that.

Re: What Options?

I'd miss all the pirate stations With DAB you still have the option of listening to normal FM radio. When i got it as an option i was under the impression FM transmissions were getting turned off soon, however i've since found out it is not until 2017. So if you think your still gonna have your roc...
