Re: Coolant issues

I had a coolant leak in another car due to a small crack in the radiator, but what happens is that it loses without being under system pressure, only when the car is at rest. A few drops may fall, not enough to fall on the ground, they remain in the engine noise insulation cover, and with the heat t...

Re: Coolant issues

I had a similar issue. I took the car to VW to do a pressure test, and they detected loss through the coolant reservoir cap. I took advantage of the situation and put a new reservoir and cap. Solved my situation! My advice is, before spending money unnecessarily, it is advisable to carry out the pro...

Misfires under load with cold engine!

My Scirocco 1.4 TSI 160hp CAVD suffers from random misfires under load with cold engine. With cold engine, if I push the accelerator pedal a bit harder it starts shaking, flashes engine light, and then return to normal. When temperature reaches 90º it works normal without any faults. VCDS - random m...

Re: What else can I check to end misfires?

My 1.4 tsi also misfires on cold starts, especially after not being started for a few days (admittedly the exhaust note does sound quite good when it happens :D ) . However this always lasts a few seconds and then it smooths out. Not sure if this is what you're experiencing but it seems to be quite...

Re: Small part dropped out of the passenger seat.

At the dealer they don't sell separately, only the set for the two seats.
I bought the kit and did this job last month, easy to assemble.

Re: Gearbox Oil MQ250 (KWB) 6-speed manual gearbox

My car is a 2.0 tsi (2010) and the gearbox is known as 02Q, I'm not sure if the newer Scirocco uses the gearbox you mentioned. I would say you're gearbox can use 75w90. If in doubt ask a VW specialist garage or contact a VAG parts website they will know best. Sent from my SNE-LX1 using Tapatalk Min...

Re: Gearbox Oil MQ250 (KWB) 6-speed manual gearbox

I've used good quality 75w90 gearbox oil a few times. It's a 02Q 6 speed manual gearbox sire that would be ok for you too. But check the compatibility first.

Gearbox Oil MQ250 (KWB) 6-speed manual gearbox

Is it safe to use transmission fluid G 052171A2, instead of G 052512A2, in a MQ250 (KWB) 6-speed manual gearbox? ETKA says that G 052171A2 is more appropriated to a MQ350 gearbox, but in this web store were I already bought so many parts says I can use it in a KWB gearbox (see Important notes: Trans...

Re: Lost of Coolant

He fixed the clamp and told me to drive for a few days and check the level of coolant. If the same happens again, he thinks it will...

Re: Lost of Coolant

Before driving the car again top up the coolant with G13 to above the minimum level and have the coolant system pressure tested to confirm whether there is a leak or not. A leak is not always obvious as the undertay can catch the escaping coolant meaning there are no obvious puddles under the car. ...

Lost of Coolant

Eight months after buying my Scirocco 1.4 TSI 160cv, something strange happened to me today. After driving a few good miles, near almost home, the dashboard warned low coolant. I stop and parked the car a few meters ahead, open the bonnet and found that the coolant expansion tank was almost dry, far...
