Re: Fuel/Distance Remaining, how low can it go?

It's the first time I've heard someone managing to get in more than 56 liters in a scirocco. Clever trick. ;)
Is there any risk of some sort of damage?

Re: Bike Carrier

Yep, it can be done. I put two bikes in the back with the seats down, my racing bike and my friend's mtb. I took off the front wheels on each bike, so I had only 2 wheels spinning around in the back. I think it's the perfect solution, as the VW bars are way too expensive. And as Gilez said, not to m...

Re: My black rocco finally arrived! - Lowered & summer wheel

Wow, your car looks just amazing with these new wheels. Are they original RS6 rims or are they replicas? How much were they?

Re: 2011 Changes (MY2012 changes)

I'm not so sure. After all, besides the alcantara seats, what else is missing from the UK spec?
And as far as rims go, you have them all.

Re: cold start mis fires on tsi 1.4tsi

A friend of mine is an aeronaughtical engineer. (Gee he's clever) :eyepop: On our many car conversations he said that he wouldn't touch the 1.4, just because of the use of both turbo and super charging. Was chirping on about combustion pressures blah blah. Also chatting to a SEAT engineer and he sa...

Re: Anyone confirm overall height with VW bars and largest T

Kind of close. Car is 1.40, bars let's say 0.05-0.10 and the box around 0.3-0.35. So around 1,85m, but that's with the smallest and not the largest box attached.
Do you have the Thule bars? I think you're the first one around here...pictures would be appreciated.

Squeaking front suspension

I've been hearing a very annoying sound coming from the front suspension in the last 2 weeks or so. It only happens when I go over a speed bump and especially in the mornings, when the car has not had the time to warm up properly. It sounds as if the car has some sort of rusty springs which need oil...

Re: Creaking suspension on new Scirocco in warm weather

I've noticed the same creaking noise too, especially on my front suspension. I can hear it only when I go over speed bumps though.
