Re: Strange Conversation with Dealer - or is it me?

Also, many of the stock cars on VW approved website are cars that have been used by staff for six months and then put up for sale through the dealer networks. These cars may not be quite ready to go to a specific dealer or are being stored at a central location. The cars are in perfect condition as ...

Re: Tyre Wear rate GoodYear Eagle F1 Asym 2

I get 8k out of a set of tyres if I'm lucky. I do live in the home of the roundabout though. Brakes are a shitter too.

Re: Sumatra!

If they are aluminium caps, make sure you use a little vaseline when putting them on otherwise they'll bond to the valves as they corrode.

Re: Unknown device in my scirocco.

It's a turbo boost button. Much like the one in KITT. If you press the green button you get a sudden burst of speed and you can jump over bridges and other obstacles.

Re: 2 IRRITATING NOISES.....SUSPENSION AND AIR CON

That suspension noise is not normal. Mine sounds nothing like that. I get a high pitched whine from the air conditioning unit. Having the stereo on drowns it out as does driving with a heavy right foot.

Re: Tyre Reconmendations

I've always like Bridgestone Potenzas. Fairly soft though so you won't get much more than 8000 miles out of them. I'm currently running Continental Sport Contact for the first time. So far so good in the wet. I haven't really pushed the limit of their grip in the dry though. Sent from my SM-G925F us...

Rocco Road Trips

I've just booked to go to the Belgian Grand Prix in August. I'll be driving down on the Thursday and coming back on the Monday.

What's the best road trip you've taken your car on?

Re: What did you do to your Scirocco today?

Hard wired my dashcam. Works a treat. Hiding the wires took a bit of work though. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk Hiding the wires in the roof trim takes a day and an AGE!!!! Got there in the end. Looks much neater than having it plugged into the 12v socket. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

The 220ps engine will only be available in the GTS once it's released.

Re: Common Windscreen Rattle

So I finally got my car back. Faulty wiper arm linkage apparently.

Took two weeks to figure that out!

Well at least I'm rattle free.

Re: Common Windscreen Rattle

My car has been with the dealership since 25th August. They still can't fix the fault. They've replaced so many parts but to no avail as yet. I'm on holiday until 7th September, so I'm hoping it's fixed on my return.

Re: Voice control + App connect

This was from someone who works at VW. I can't give you a name as I wasn't meant to know. If you have specced the app connect then you will most definitely get the MIB 2. Just be prepared that it might be called in for an update not long after you get the car should the issues not be resolved before...

Re: Voice control + App connect

My only issue with the the MIB 2 unit is the sat nav. It can take ages to enter and address or recalculate a route. I had this system on my SEAT Leon. The RNS, although it has a small screen, works pretty much flawlessly.

Re: Voice control + App connect

The unit you have is the current MIB 2. This has since been pulled from the Scirocco. Some cars through May and June had these fitted but in mid June they reverted back to the RNS systems.
