New member - Introduction

Post by beemer5711 »

Hi,

I've been a member a couple of months now. We got a 2017 Scirocco R manual about 6 months ago, so far so good, although it is still under warranty. We purposely went for a Scirocco because I like how little you see them, I'm aware that we could of had a better golf 7R for similar money but the Scirocco is soo good looking. I'm also a fan of the EA113 it uses, even though it's not as efficient as the newer engines.

I've been trying to look online to see what sort of factory options these cars could be optioned with but had no luck. Does anyone know of or have a list?
The car is not massively specced I don't think, although a manual was one of the key points we wanted due to having a big Audi dual clutch car already.

Also, I have VCDS, is there anything I can activate in the coding or adaptations sections?

Thanks in advance,
Look forward to being able to share some info on the forum.
