Silver Centre consol trim
Hi there. I have recently upgraded my interior trim to gloss black and have the original silver centre (the part that is around the stereo and air con) going for sale, if anyone is interested. Its in great condition but one of the plastic lugs is slightly bent - it happened when I was removing it. A...

Re: DSG Convert?
Hi Roy_01, I think we've had this discussion before. The problem is, I can't find anyone in the UK that can do it !!

Re: DSG Convert?
Personally, I think it is a horrid device - always too quick to change up, and always too slow to change down. I have had mine a year now, and still cant get used to the way it changes gear, so much so, I think my days with it are nearly over and its time to go back to a manual. I always drive mine ...

Wheel Alignment
Evening everyone. I went to get my alignment done this weekend to a well known tyre centre and they weren't able to adjust everything and said it was a usual Scirocco trait and unless there was major tyre wear not to worry. I was surprised at this and asked them why. They said the the thread they us...

Hi everyone. Does anyone else notice that they get more MPG when using the DSG in 'manual mode', than when it is in 'Auto' mode, or is it just me ...?

Sport Mode
Is it me imagining things, or does the driver seat 'firm up' when you select sport mode on the suspension ?

Clatter sound at low revs in 5th and 6th
Hi guys. My car has developed a clatter sound at low revs when in either 5th or 6th gear in all modes (D, S and M) and it sounds like the tappets did on older cars. Its been back to the dealers twice now, and they cant find anything wrong - they've checked for loose parts and trims and nothing. The ...

Re: Irritating DSG
Thanks everyone, maybe I am too impatient..... although, Roy_01, I do like the sound of what you've done. What remap and chip did you go for ?

Re: Irritating DSG
How do you change your driving style SCOTTRS ? Its impossible to rag the nuts off it around town. Mine has an annoying habit of changing down mid corner, and mind roundabout as well - should I be a little more aggressive with it ?

Re: Irritating DSG
Thanks chaps..... looks like I'll have to live with it then ! I would much rather have a smoother drive though and lose 5mpg, than a drive that seems like it struggling...... Apart from that, I absolutely love the car....

Irritating DSG
Hi. Its been nearly 2 months now since I picked the Rocco up and I love it - apart from the gearbox. Everything is fine, it changes smoothly, no clunks or knocks, but, does never seems to be in the right gear and is always in a rush to get into 5th or 6th - mine changes into 6th at 40mph, and then s...

Engine 'pinking'
Hi there. I am a newbie and have recently taken delivery of a 2011 140 GT, DSG in Candy White. SO far I love it... Over the last 3 weeks though, at low engine revs between say 1100 and 1400, the engine sounds like it is 'pinking', almost like the engine speed is too low for the gear it is in. Its be...
