Windscreen wipers snapped

Hi All, Some little ba*****s went round lifting up the windscreen wipers of all the cars in the car park where I live, but due to the design on the Scirocco, they have snapped the wiper arm clean off on my Roc and also cracked the plastic wind deflector below the spindle and damaged my bonnet. Was w...

Re: Clicking noise and feeling when depressing the clutch

I had an identical issue with my 1.4Tsi, took it back to the garage who decided to replace the clutch pedal assembly inside the car, this has fixed the issue. As they replaced a few different parts they couldn’t say which individual part was the cause of the clicking noise.

Cheers,
Phil

Re: Third brake light flickering

Thanks for the quick reply. I called the garage who said to pop in and someone will take a quick look. Just after I called I checked again and it's not flickering!! When it flickers it doesn't go off completely but just flickers between bright and dull. I suspect it's probably just a dodgy wire. I t...

Third brake light flickering

Hi,

I have just noticed when parking in the garage that the third brake light is flickering, the other 2 lights seem fine but this is flickering on and off. I was wondering if anyone else has come across this.

Cheers,
Phil

Re: Pirelli Seal Inside Puncture

In the end I phoned pirelli who claimed that the tyre could in some cases be repaired, I spoke to a few tyre places, all said that nothing could be done. I think part of the problem is that not many tyre places have had much experience with self sealing tyres.

Cheers,
Phil

Re: Going to France

Hi, I am also off to France soon in my scirocco, have picked up the headlight converters from Halfords, the instructions and place to stick the converters on. It's to the lower left of the central bulb (which has a little VW logo on) I haven't got the rest of the kit that I need yet thought. Cheers,...

Re: New Scirocco TSi

Mine was also built during week 13 but it took a long time to arrive at the dealers due to all of the bank holidays.

Have had the car a week and love it, thinks it's definatly a girl though!

New Scirocco TSi

Hi, After a wait of about 3 months, my Candy white 160 TSi finally arrived, so far I am very impressed, the car is excellent, such an improvement over my Peugeot 207. As a little bonus, due to a mistake at the dealers/factory, the car has been fitted with the colour multi function display rather tha...
