Did you find out what was the cause of the high temps and leaks on the old engine?

Re: Rusty screw on inside of door

Immaculate you say. There is mud in your speaker grill, scratches over the door sill plastics, mud on the kick plates and dirt on the pedals

Immaculate, pffffffft

Re: Rusty screw on inside of door

Does the dirty kick panels and pedals not annoy you more than a rusty screw?

Re: Scirocco CR170 "Project Racek0r"

Looking at the battery area, the move of the battery is simple. Its the relocation and extension of 5 or so earth points that would be a pain in the arse.

Re: AC really affecting efficiency

Is it actually blowing cold air? If the refrigerant is low then the system senses this and requires the clutch to kick in to circulate the refrigerant from the low to high side to cool the air, the lower the refrigerant the more regularly the compressor needs to turn thus drawing from the aux pulley...

Re: Scirocco CR170 "Project Racek0r"

Considered removing the AC setup and moving the battery whilst its all stripped down?

Re: Engine Bay Sound proofing piece missing..

Go to VW and tell them what you want, they'll tell you the part number. They'll also give you a price, you'll say thats bullshit then go home.

Re: Scirocco 100K

VW recommend a minor service every 10k, as you've done 30k between services its probably best you go for the major eh.

Perhaps you should read the service book whilst you wait for the work to be done

Re: What's it worth???

I had the B7 RS4, the rear leg room for an estate is minimal but I did have the bucket seats which make this worse. I looked at the B8's and there wasnt much of an improvement. Something to consider if your looking at a proper family sized car, they are a rewarding drive though and sound the tits wi...

Re: Looking for a scirocco

If your going stage1 then this will take a 140 tdi to a 170 or thereabouts. Considering the additional price of insurance and costs of mods you would be better off just getting a 170 to start with

Re: New HEX-V2 Enthusiast interface for VCDS

Even the 3 VIN use is restricting as I would use mine to on my RS4, wifes Tiguan, sisters Golf and mothers Tiguan. You can see why they have done it to make money off the back of people making money themselves. If you have an old version, as I did I take it this is not affected as long as you dont u...
