Scirocco Central

I ordered a Scirocco which is now scheduled for week 21 build, one week before the 2010 revisions are introduced. The dealer gave me the following list of revisions that are to be amde to the 2010 model. Now I just have to decide whether to delay my order by another month to get them!

Scirocco - 2010 model year changes

All trims
– Coat hook moved from headlining to B pillar
– New range of steering wheels - as fitted to Golf MK6
– New Instrument cluster - as fitted to Golf MK6
– DAB radio aerial moved from roof to side window
– Bi-xenon headlights £860
– Winter pack with bi-xenon headlights £305
– Winter pack with bi-xenon headlights and leather upholstery £200
– Digital oil temperature indicator with highline computer

GT trim
– Optional 19-inch Lugano alloys £615

this is from volkswagen configurator



i love that wheel but i hate the instrument cluster

think i'd stick to be honest,

of all the things its a very minor one i'd like the oil read out but for all the rest no big deal

will it be more expensive for you to have the 2010 model?

getting all the exact details sent through by my contact later

You beat me to it. I got the same info from VW as well as a word attachment with pictures of the new steering wheel, computer, air conditioning unit and the alloys. I will post pics of them all later when i get home.

VW also state that there will be a new GT 2.0 TDI 170PS engine added to the range.

All of changes will be available to order from early July.

Personally I am very pleased, these changes will all tie in when I order mine

I prefer the oldskool, newskool rocc

(not just saying that just coz it's the model I've got.... honest )

Judging by the pics they haven't updated the Aircon Unit Controls.

wonder if they will do anything about the ride height and that arch gap

I will see later when I can open up the word doc with the pics in. The description was 'New Air Conditioning Units' for the scirocco, passat, eos and jetta

not that much difference just have a question tho. What is the website url where you saw the 2010 scirocco and also what is DAB radio aerial moved from roof to side window?

The new changes for me are miles better. Before the inside of the car looked too much like the mkv GTI, which isnt a bad thing. But changing from the GTI I would want something to look a little bit different

Dont know why you would be miffed. There will always be something new around the corner and you still have a very good car

Sorry but that aircon unit looks total cheap pants, like it was stolen from a Kia!!

I know I still have a great car thanks, just didn't expect updates on it so soon!

There's nothing major on that list but it's probably worth waiting for if you're paying the same price for it just so you've got the newer model (especially if you want Xenons). If however you got the price before the price rise last Month there's no way I'd pay an extra £1k for a different steering wheel and instrument cluster!

Good point Tartangti,
I ordered mine before the price rise, and its due to be built this week (week 17)
I was a bit peeved at the fact my car will be 'old' within a few months of it being delivered to me, but over a steering wheel and new dials, I wont be losing and sleep, although I do think the newer steering wheel is a lot nicer. Maybe something to be retrofitted in the future?
