Scirocco Central

Have you seen the performance figures put out by the oil burners these days?

I bet the Darkside boys have shocked a few petrol heads, especially the R wannby TSi drivers.

It's just a trim thing like the M or AMG badges, so everyone does it. Personally I only bought a Scirocco due to the fact they had diesels which looked far better than the rest of the boring run of the mill copycat car shapes out there.

Ouch that cuts me deep!

Gave it its first wash of the year.

Just having the crack mate, I like all Rocs.

You know what they say..You have to take it if you can give it

I know mate, I'd love a rocco r! But money doesn't grow on trees!

You need to plant a money tree then.

Or sell the wife :-)

Can you buy seeds for the tree on eBay? Couldn't sell the Mrs, who is going to cook?

I have some seeds for a £50 note tree I can sell you. Just PM me and I will tell you where to send the £100 fee.

If you get decent money for her you could get a lodger that cooks.

removed the interior boot trim panels to find what was sliding up and down inside the boot when i close/open it. didn't find anything out of the ordinary, put it back together and got silence. easy fix, chuffed.

took some pics that may help others find the clip positions if they wanna do the same so here they are - basically take the top piece off first (near the brake light) then the sides, then the bottom (two hidden torx screws behind grab handle holes). hope they help!:

my guess is it's a clip that hasn't been housed in the trim before attaching to the car and is sliding up and down as it passes horizontal. see third picture above, the two slots allow a few inches of movement and as i pulled the trim off the clip was still in the bodywork. all the others come out with the trim (though 2 were missing, cheers vw!)

massive improvement lewis, now no excuses to not come to the next meet, ha ha.

Sounds like that the issue as i only noticed it after one of my passengers closed it with a stupid amount of force!
