Re: Your 1st winter as a Scirocco owner
For anyone who is just about to enjoy their first winter with a Scirocco, specifically ones that leave their cars parked outside overnight, now would be a good time to invest in a can of 3 in 1 silicon spray (or the like). Give all the rubbers that have any contact with your drivers and passengers ...

Re: To Dsg or Not To Dsg
I love the DSG and for me at least, I can't imagine driving the manual to be half as much fun. It's rapid enough in M mode but stick it into S and it turns into an animal. The blipping of the throttle on the downshifts in S are the iceing on the cake. I agree that the paddles could be bigger though.

Re: SciWrecco
Unlucky mate, i feel for you I really do. However, if it makes you feel any better, my Scirocco was less than an hour old when a kind old soul in a Mitsubishi Pajero reversed into it doing similar damage. It then turned out due to an 'oversight' by his wife he wasn't insured. That said he paid up li...

Re: DSG - Anyone use the +/- nudge changer?
It's paddles all the way for me. Although to be honest I only tend to use them in sport mode.

Re: Tyre prices for 18" GT
I've used etyres.co.uk a few times in the past. I have always found them very competitive and they come to you to fit.

Re: Convenience Menu - Mirror Down
I'm pretty sure you have to have the folding mirrors option. Then you have to leave the rotary switch in the L position.

Re: Your worst scirocco moment?
My worst moment was on the day I picked it up. With about 4 miles on the clock and an hour old someone reversed into it doing £3500 of damage.
I still feel sick just thinking about it !

Re: Admiral insurance grrrrr
Direct Line are exactly the same. Each year without fail now I get an online quote as soon as I receive my renewal. Then I take out the policy on line and cancel my paper policy. The same applies to their house insurance. I hate Direct Line with a passion but I just can't find anyone that can under...

Re: Funny noise?
Is there anybody with the know-how that is prepared to add some voting buttons or something so we can get an accurate number of people who's cars do or don't make the really annoying rattle ?

Re: Choosing a car is harder than choosing a wife....
Sunroof: Yes. Looks great from the outside and makes the interior much lighter. DSG: Yes. I still can't believe how good it is. Colour: I went for white, yes it's common and it gets dirty quickly but it suits the Scirocco. I think the lighter colours do. IMHO you lose some of the curves with darker ...

Re: What don't you like about your Rocco?
I really hate the dreaded rattling between 2000-3000 rpm and the dodgy wipers.
It's much thirstier than I was expecting too.
Other than that, it's addictive to drive and I'm loving it !
