Scirocco Central

Hi Guys, Looking for some advice. Purchased a 2013 scirorco Gts dsg with 30k miles last week. I purchased from stoke and live in glasgow and on the drive home I felt that steering wheel was loose like wobbly / shaky, even more so at 60mph and above. It feels as though any movement in the road and th...

Hi Guys,

Just wondering what kind of MPG I could expect to return from the 177 DSG engine if anyone has the same one?

Would it be Roughly 35 around town and 50mpg on motorway?

Okay thanks a lot so is it as simple as plug and play or is any wire cutting needed?

No worries thanks a lot man! Is your rocco registered after 2011? I think they changed the wiring after this as I was initally looking at the Xtron units but they say only compatable until 2011 models.

Then again - I know nothing about cars or wiring etc!

Thanks for hijacking my post. Perhaps put a query into the genral chat?!

Hi Guys,

I'm thinking of buying a March 2013 Scirocco GTS and was wondering if anyone knew if you could change the RNS 315 to an aftermarket unit such as the Joying Android?

If so, is it quite easy or rather difficult?

Sorry it is the diesel when I said gtd I meant I'm considering changing to golf gtd. I'm just disappointed that the newer engine should produce more mpg than the old one but does not seem to be the case. Had the old one at 60mpg sometimes when taking it easy and by the looks of it there's no chance ...

haha hopefully the engine just needs run in.

Would be helpful if any other members with the same engine could post what they are averaging?

Thanks

Have just changed my 2011 2.0 140 scirocco to 65 plate 2.0 150ps and I'm wondering about the mpg? Previous motorway trips I was averaging 55mpg however have just returned from a round trip (Glasgow - Alton Towers) and have only just achieved 49.5mpg I'm really disappointed with this as vw claim the ...

Hi Guys, Hoping someone could maybe point me in the right direction. Been having issues with steering for a while and the situation is right now is that although my steering is straight I feel like I'm constantly moving it to the right to keep it straight, more than normal (when taking roads into co...

Thanks mate. No idea what the problem could be then. I've had all new tyres, and the car checked over. Had alignment done roughly 4 times in the past 8 months and it seems to go fine for a week then start giving a problem again. Had to get the egr changed in Oct and ever since then it's been a const...

Hi guys, Been have steering wheel problem for months had alignment done several times but steering seems to constantly move to the left with any slight camber on the road. It's even more noticeable on the motorway and steering will just sit to the left and I'm constantly having to hold it in the mid...

Thanks mate

Not had a message no but I believe the sensor's for this are only on the front?

HI Guys, Looking for some help as not really got knowledge about cars. My rear pads need changed on my 2011 rocco 2.0 tdi 140. I'm looking at the Pagid one's - apparently they are just as good as OEM? It seem's they come in different sizes though and I'm not sure which is correct. Can someone tell m...

So got the tyre now changed to rear and problem seems to have disappeared. Got the alloy took out the tyre before the swap over and that was fine. I think what lee said is that it's probably tyre conicity - a poorly manufactured tyre. Would I have much chance of taking it up with continental about a...

The car is now pulling to the left yeah so must be either damaged tyre, faulty tyre or damaged alloy.

I will switch it to the rear and see how it feels.

Thanks for everyones help throughout.

Yeah I'll swap it to rear and see how that goes thanks very much for all the advice

Thanks paddy. Had kwikfit change the fronts to each side earlier simply because it keeps raining and I can't out to do it with work. Got them to check the tie rods and stuff said everything seems fine. The steering wheel is now to the left so feeling like it's defo the tyre or maybe alloy if that's ...

Should I just put it into vw and get them to check all the steering components? Just don't fancy paying the scum £75 an hour! Should this thing be bent that I've attached the photo? I took it when I took the f/r tyre off on Sunday to have a look. I thought it was strange but took the left off and th...
