Scirocco Central

Cheers Brocky, will head over to DW later

Nope, never had anything like that happen to me Deagol and I'm the only driver. Would I feel a difference if the surface had been damaged, it feels just as smooth as the surrounding area? There are other much smaller similarly damaged areas on the bonnet and near the front of the car, seems to be on...

Hi guys, Hoping someone might be able to explain what's happened here. I have noticed some whitish coloured blemishes that look a bit like brush strokes on the paint that I cannot remove. I have tried T-Cutting it, thinking they were surface blemishes, but can't get rid of them. If I wet the surface...

Talking of the Golf GTi, when I enquired as to the cost of insuring a Mk 6 version my insurance company told me they would only cover it if it had an approved tracker system fitted. Was wondering if this is a standard requirement nowadays as I am guessing the GTi is, and always has been, a favourite...

Checked a couple of weeks ago and the price for Michelins for my car were about the same as online prices. They occasionally have a 25% off sale but only if you buy 4 tyres at the same time.

Hi Jeff, Glad you got your tyres sorted, pretty good price too :) Very confusing having same size tyres but for different vehicles, don't think Goodyear are the only ones though. Was wondering how easy it is to tell one type from the other - were your tyres labelled as such so you knew that Camskill...

Thanks Jeff, look forward to reading what you think about them.

Now you mention it I don't see that many silver Scirocco's about, I rather like the colour.

Hi Jeff,

If you do go for the Goodyears would be interested to know what you think of them.

Hi Jeff, Just had the car MOT'd and had a good look at the tyres while it was on the ramp. Seems thay still have a good few thousand miles left in them so probably won't be buying any for a while as I don't do that many miles. Will probably still go for the Goodyears, prices seem to be around £165 a...

well, back from the VW stealer....... apparently this is a known problem when the battery voltage is low and the outside temperature is low.....hence why the problem went away after i drove for a short distance. Best thing is they didn't even charge me and they were working on the car for a couple ...

Hi all, I am currently searching for some new tyres and having looked at various reviews may well go for the Goodyear Eagles. Whilst checking prices I have noticed that there seems to be two variations of the 235/40 R 18 95Y Asymmetric 2 tyre, each with a different EAN (bar code) number that have ma...

Do you have the RNS510 unit fitted to your car? If so take a look at this YT video and compare http://youtu.be/G2G5YV_aqdw
If it's the same noise then it is probably a glitch with the head unit. For some a replacement head unit cured the problem and for others it was a one off event.

Same problem on my Roc on the passenger side. My dealer says it needs a new carrier so has ordered one to be fitted under warranty. Unfortunately the drivers side is also a bit iffy so might have to get that looked at too. Interesting to read RW1's instructions how to open a door - perhaps VW should...

Have you updated the firmware of the MDI interface. There are some threads on here about it. Its easy to do.....that should fix it I think. My car is a 2010 build and I haven't updated the firmware and my ipod works ok. Perhaps montythelab has an earlier firmware version. However it seems odd that ...

Just tried it with my ipod touch 4G and it seems to work perfectly.
Perhaps it's the ipod version that affects the RCD510's ability to playback normally?

I to have a annoying rattle coming from the offside, having took it to the main dealer today we went for a test drive and he said that he has cone across this before with siroccos & pin pointed the problem to the tailgate ^buffers^ (a piston like stopper either side of the tailgate that assists...

Sorted now, thanks

Same problem here with a rattle from the rear of the car. I looked at the recommended tailgate adjustment but I'm wondering if VW have changed the design as mine are sprung, like pistons. Loosening the allen bolt doesn't seem to do much except make the assembly loose so gave up on that idea :eek: ED...

I purchased a car direct from dealer, they said 1 previous owner, I imagined a similar person to me selling the car after a year or so. When I got the V5 paperwork it turned out to be a Hertz rental car! Dealers have lots of secrets! :) Bought mine from a VW dealer and discovered that it too was an...
