Re: 2.0 184 TDI R line hunt

If you get the Manuel make sure it has XDS. I ordered my 184 R line Manual and they forgot to add it so lucky had the chance to find out what its like with and with out. The car drives a lot better with the XDS ( Audi fit it as standard on their version on the 184 TDI.

Re: Vinyl Wrapping wing mirrors

Had mine wrapped in Carbon Vinyl last weekend and they look brilliant. Originally had them wrapped in gloss black by a so called professional who actually didn't take the mirror cap off meaning he couldn't wrap the vinyl right round resulting in the vinyl lifting3. Where are you based damonjaks? If ...

Re: Bad Colour choice or not?

I was thinking the same when I ordered my new one, having previously owned a white Rocco. However since taking delivery of my indium grey one I have had so many compliments. Pair the Indium grey with black alloys and it works a treat. I personally hate the rising blue as it reminds me of a match box...

Re: Annoyed!!!

Robb I haven't tried that. I always find myself having to juggle between bluetooth for phone and music or charging. Even in my old 59 plate rocco the head unit use to crash. How do you disable the media in slot? Andyy: Your right but its just the fact why update everything else and not change the he...

Annoyed!!!

Is anyone else annoyed? Having just purchased the new facelift Scirocco and spent the extra to upgrade the head unit in the hope that VW finally cracked its inability to charge the iPhone 6 and bluetooth at the same time, I am now spitting feather to find out they have finally turned round and put t...

Re: New facelift order

I agree it really does. The twin chrome pipes on the Tdi184 are ok but no where near as neat as that. I'll have to find somewhere down in Herts that will be able to do the job

Re: New facelift order

Sounds like ***Topher*** isn't a happy man. I have had two facelift's since its launch, granted the first one was a factory mis-build but drove well and was built like a brick **** house as is the new one. This is my 4th VW (2 golfs and 2 sciroccos) and all of them have been fantastic. I often get p...

Re: Replacement drivers side door mirror mounting

Thank you Wensleydale. I am finding it incredibly frustrating that it is going to cost me quite a lot of money for a simple plastic cover. Wish VW were like Audi and you could buy the parts for your wing mirror.

Anyways once again you for your help

Replacement drivers side door mirror mounting

Does anyone know where I could get just the replacement plastic door mounting cover? A deer has very kindly collided with my car whilst parked, leaving skin marks on the paint work and smashing the wing mirror mounting cover. Luckily the door mirrors were folded so everything else is fine and the sk...

Re: XDS VAG activation on Scirocco restyling 2015

I ordered mine with XDS on a 184tdi manual and makes a huge difference compared to the non XDS version (they forgot to put it on when VW Vindis first ordered the car)

Re: Dash camera

I was thinking of installing the Cobra CDR 900 it looks quite neat and if I can get the wiring to be hidden I should hardly be able to see it. Seem to be finding every idiot around driving with no brake lights plus the old man was smacked by a hit a run in his new A5 yesterday so I think it's worth ...

Re: New facelift order

Does anyone know how to replace the front indicator bulbs. I have the Xenon option on mine and it seems silly every bulb is LED apart from the front indicators.
Help!!!

Re: Steering feel

Mine 2009 Roco did the same and it was due to the tracking. Also if you notice an increase in road noise it could be coming from the back as the pre facelift model has a tendency for the back tyres to go out of shape. Hence the unspoken about change in the facelift model. Only found this out when th...

Re: DCC/XDS

I have owned one with DCC and one without and to be honest I can hardly tell the difference. The new Facelift version drives better than the old one anyways. I found my 2010 rocco jumped around a lot at the back. I also have the XDS on the Facelift version which does help when you put the power on w...

Re: New R-line package announced

I strongly disagree the new R-line and R look a lot sharper than it predecessor and the grill has the same shape as the new TT. Very Cool!!!

Re: New facelift order

Had a little look under my facelift Rocco and the back axle is different to the old one. The whole car rides squarer to road, handles better and hopefully will mean the back tyres won't go out of shape so easily.

My verdict so far is that the new one is defiantly a lot better than its predecessor.

Re: New facelift order

Just looked at my tracker and it's saying arrived in UK and not yet with dealer. Yet the car is sat in my drive, even though it is missing a few bits. Just hope their second attempt at building it is slightly better.
