Scirocco Central

I have Pirelli self-seals on mine and when it was new I thought they were quiet but now I’ve done nearly 9k they sometimes seem excessively noisy to me but I think that’s the nature of low profile tyres, they get noisier as the wear down.

Just renewed my 170 GT, £233 with Directline, just about the only good thing about being older.

I think there are a number of factors at play here 1.The colder it is the longer it takes for the engine to get to its optimum working temperature, I do a 22 mile commute each day and it takes 15-20 minutes before the oil temp gets into the range of 95-98 C. and don’t forget we want the heater on fu...

As said above, get a petrol, your'e not doing enough miles to keep a DPF clean.

I’d have an R if it wasn’t for petrol costs, in the real world I’m quite happy with my 170 but only averaging 48, seen 56 once but that didn’t last, must have a heavy right foot!!. Thinking of getting it re-mapped though.

Hi Guys, Picked up my new Black 170 from Capitol VW on Thursday followed by a 240 mile drive home, loving it so far and a very happy bunny. :) Haven’t decided yet if I will do any mods, very tempted by a Revo and springs, we’ll see. Only small niggle is that I ordered the badge deletion option which...

I think I've spoken to her

I've ordered DAB on mine, built week 17 so should be with me within a couple of weeks.

Maybe its the DSG, mine (170 manual) was ordered from the same dealer just one week before you but I only got my confirmed build date last week (wk17). I spoke to a lady at Capitol VW, sorry i can't remember her name but she's the person who actually checks with VW, not the salesman, she told me she...

Ordered 28th Dec, confirmed build week 17, seems a long time but tbh when I ordered the car the dealer said ‘going by previous orders were looking at mid May to possibly early June’ he was being honest and he was right, I’ve got no complaints. Can’t wait though

Just called my dealer and then VW customer services,both said the same thing, build scheduled week 17, should be confirmed in the next few days, just hope it doesn't get put back. Might have it end of May with any luck.

maisbitt, Nope, no leasing company, it was ordered from Capitol Motors (same as gibbsy) and no options other that the ones on the right.

Ordered mine 28th Dec, dealer has no build date yet. I've phone VW customer services a couple of times and have found them most unhelpful, just told me to contact my dealer. The last she said that they and the dealer look at the same information so they couldn't tell me any more than the dealer.

Gibbsy, I ordered mine from the same dealer as you on 28th Dec, might be on the same boat if/when we get it, been told the same as you, end of May
