Re: NEED HELP! 1.4 122 or 160?!?!

Hi there after enjoying our 122 for the past 2 years 9 months and now having to look for a new lease, I would have gone for the 160 without a second thought had the facelift come in sooner, and not in the middle of our lease change. As with the 122 you have already worked out, it lacks the power of ...

Re: Wheel colour?

:rolleyes: I also think that the merc one is the nearest but I would not try to spray it, if its just the rim wheel off and use a brush dabbing lightly, others on here may come up with a better way but that's what I did, not invisible but acceptable is what you will get. :yes:

Re: 122 MPG

Think its about 41 - 42 mpg on mine that's after 12,000 mls and driven carefully, any heavy footed acceleration will cost !!!!! as in any car. the 122 may be the lowest powered scirocco but its still no slouch. :clap: :clap:

Always buy what you feel is you, anything else will always be second best. I will be leasing another scirocco next July, because it just ticks all the boxes, for both my wife and me. :clap: :clap: :clap:

Re: Interior Swap- Thinking about buying a Scirocco

God that looks like a basic DIY job, :D has it been stuck on or what!!! if you like the car that much get the price down for that reason, but there are other less problem cars around and it may pay to just keep looking. :clap:

Re: 1.4 TSI 122 Engine noise

Re: Acid wash + plastic wheel nut covers = unhappiness

You were lucky to get them to pay for them, if I forget to take them off, I just respray them after my first run in with this problem. bought some off ebay and they didn't fit due to different size lock nuts being used. :)
