Scirocco Central

Yup in DSG mode. But is it normaly when your at 5th gear then suddenly without lifting the accelerator it shifts down to 4th gear and over the red rev lines..

Chungster: Yeah i know.. but here the festive has already started.. where are you located?

Hey guys.. Happy New Year or should i say Chinese New Year [:D] Have any of you guys really tried the sports mode? I realize that when everytime when i switch the sports mode at some point when pressing the accelerator it will bounce back to lower gear (rev high at 5th gear then suddenly change to 4...

When you get the Ting Ting Ting noise from The tyre pressure monitor system (unless u want to switch it off cos it interferes with maccy d cruising at 10mph) We dont have the tyre pressure monitor system in our sciroccos here (Malaysia) Chungster: are you trying to be sarcastic here? Do you have an...

If you ever buy tyres from Quidco (UK) they fill tyres with Nitrogen. It does have benefits as it is less susceptible to pressure change with changes of temperature and doesen't absorb moisture as easily. I believe racing teams use it as well but whether there's any benefit for the normal daily dri...

Hey guys, Just wanted to share with you, today during lunch time I took aride in my buddy's vw tourek (not sure the spelling is right) and on his front glass mirror he has this sticker on nitrogen air tyres certified. Apparently he's tyres are running on NITROGEN AIR!!? According to him, its much mo...

Personally I can't understand why you'd want to wear your seatbelt 'at your leisure', it's there for a reason... :shrug: Thanks for the comment guys.. Actus reus: good to know, like the idea where you seat on the belt. :) Thomohawk: Well, when your going out to watch a movie in a mall or mc donald ...

Does anyone know how to stop the safety belt warning sound? I know im not the only one here that is annoyed with the sound, and yes I know its nessesary but come one let me wear it at my own leasure.. Is there any on or off switch for it?

Has anyone actually tested the function of the rear mirror. According to the booklet manual, its suppose to deam down any light that comes from cars beaming on high beam light. When you press the button or starts the car, a green light will come on on the rear mirror but only on the left handside co...

Dont know what happen to the car or remote key cause suddenly it was not responding to the remote when i press unlock..weird.. even got a bit panic in the beginning then I started to take a deep breath and tried to open the car manually.. First use your key and insert it in a key hole on the bar han...

its not the size so much but the weight of the rim, ie you can get lightweight 19s your risk of damage is due to the sidewalls being not as tall, the side walls are designed to match the speed rating so in reality will be stiffer So if the rims are lightweight (19s) then it would not affect the han...

Hi everyone,
Is it true that 19"rims increases the weight significantly which will affects the handling and performance? and because of the sidewalls are ultra thin this would also cause damage on the kerb and rim when hitting holes (malaysia has lots of road holes)

So does revving cause any damage to the engine?

I was wondering whether revving the car is gud? Every morning I'll let the car run for at least 1 minute before I start my journey. A car next to mine (not a VW) revs his car a few times (superb sound played by his exhaust by the way) before he goes off. Can I do that for my Rocco and what does it d...
