Scirocco Central

MY2011 (introduced at week 22 of 2010)

* Second ESP lamp in instrument cluster so there are separate on/off lights.

* Flat tyre indicator fitted as standard on cars with 17" and 18" wheels.

* Mobility self-sealing tyres standard.

* Hill hold function added to all manual gearbox cars (already standard on DSG).

* Opal Silver, Pewter Grey and Shadow Blue colours discontinued.

* Silver Leaf, Indium Grey and Night Blue colours added.

* 1.4 160PS TSI - TSI badge is now all red instead of just a red S and I.

* Scirocco R - Tyre repair kit replaced with a space-saving spare wheel.

To be honest, nothing there is making me think I should wait as mine is being built Week 19.

is that it...?

No news yet on whether anything will be added an an option.

People seem to bandy about things like reversing cameras, keyless go and stop-start but none of it has ever shown up but I guess it might be on the options list.

Thank god for that !..
My GT 170TDI DSG is built this week ( Week 17 ) Candy White
i would like the reversing cam for the wife ( Short Ass )

Quite glad to see that list only just got mine but I can happily live without any of those things...

mine should be on build with the new changes, always nice to get a couple of freebies!

Am I reading this right - do the new standard options get added automatically if your car is build week 22+, even if they weren't available at the time of ordering?

And when you say the hill hold function will be added to all manual cars - is that as standard or an option?

Hill hold = Standard.

The standard options should be in your Scirocco's build.

The check you need to do with your dealer is the pricing. That depends on how VW UK play it with the dealers.
The price list not out yet. Current price list for models and options is 01.04.10, but it does not reflect these changes.

idem - I'll wait for week 20 and no longer than that too (hopefuly)

Thanks C. Is that because my car won't actually be 'complete' until week 22 or because you think my estimated build week may be delayed?

OK - thanks, I'll do this once the build date is confirmed (hopefully this week) and will post back any info.

They are nice to haves but are gimmicks to be honest. I prefer turning a key

I am curious to see the difference between the old colours and the new ones, which (at least) sound to be similar.. Samples, anyone?

There are a couple floating around in other threads

For example:

No samples of the colours on Scirocco's though.

Does this mean that the car will no longer come with a full spare wheel, but just a tub of gunge and an electric airpump that's just not worth a toss when you get a puncture?

there is nothing to suggest it has been removed arkaig so don't fret, if they thought something like that was a good update I think they'd have a mutiny on their hands

Its a Space Saver wheel & tyre btw when fitted in the non 'R' models.

Mine is being built week 29, does that mean it should have these extra's?

Phew! Thanks for the reassurances.
