Scirocco Central

My last 2 cars were both similar outputs but naturally aspirated - an fn2 civic type r (6.9 secs 0-60) and a gt86 (7.5 secs).

Both were 2.0 litres and 200bhp.

I can confirm my 2.0 tsi is a lot quicker and i wouldn't be at all surprised if it clocked in the low 6's!

For those unsure about getting this done, a common telltale sign that this could be an issue is a 2 second rattle on startup. These are tensioned on oil pressure and once the tensioner becomes defective it will start weeping oil past the seal overnight and losing their tension, and the chain will r...

Wouldn't the pumpkin /chinese android units run it easily enough?

This is carbon build up 100%

Sorted this myself a month ago and the car drives like new.

Google search 2.0 tsi carbon build up and you'll find plenty of guides and help.

Personally it took me 10 solid hours to do right!

This is the way it works.

Look at it from the garages point of view - if it wasnt for the fact you have placed some kind of deposit down, punters could have them paying for transport all over britain on a whim, many of those punters no even bothering to come back and see the car

Cleaned the carbon outbthe inlet valves.

10 solid hours work, worth every minute.

Car has went from chugging like a tractor to purring like a kitty.

Received the last of the gear i ordered that i needed to perform decarb process of the inlet valves and chambers.

Warned the wife I'll be disappearing into the garage for the full day this Saturday.

Thats a bargain if straight but honestly if it sounds too good to be true then more often than not it is. For your reference, i paid £8300 for mine a month or so ago - 2009, 59k, 2.0 tsi manual box in excellent condition with fsh. It was far and away the best deal in britain for the car at that age ...

Ask 100 different guys and you'll likely get 100 different answers. The truth is 99% of brand name stuff does a great job. The question you have to ask yourself is just how deep down this rabbit hole do you want to/can afford to go? As a side note, the level of snobbery and elitism throughout the de...

Lovely car fella.

I wish i could get as excited as everybody else when it comes to upgrading bulbs, though even i can see the difference those puddle thingies have made!

Top job.

The Rocco forums seem very slow compared to others ive used , nice work so far dude cars looking nice and the facelift rear looks sweet :yes: As a newcomer i was surprised how dead the scirocco forums are and most of those who use the forums seem like they basically cant be arsed helping other memb...

Still cant decide to lower or not...

I like it. For 30 odd quid whats the problem with this wee toy when others will happily spend a fortune on all matter of utter crap for their cars? One of the very few things i'd change about the scirocco is the lack of a big digital speedo to compliment the analogue dials and this device remedies ...

If theres one flaw my car has its the bog standard head unit. Im looking at these pumpkin android units on amazon for £200 and they seem like fantastic value but was wondering if anyone here had experience of them? My main goal is to get Spotify running on screen and this seems to be far and away th...

Looks good but i think the car looks great on 19s even at stock ride height.

Until a fortnight ago i wasn't even aware Halfords did mot's.

They have a well earned reputation as a company for terrible service and insanely inflated prices, the very thought of anyone deciding to take their car there for an mot is insane to me.

Enjoyed reading through the entire thread - some nice mods.

Where did you order the carbon mirror caps from and are you happy with the fit and finish?

Love the wheels.
