Scirocco Central

Tiguan has gone back to the Lease Company after two years. It's been replaced with A Golf R Estate which is very nice indeed. 150bhp Diesel to 310bhp petrol.

The GT4 arrived and its awesome

Bored at work so thought I'd drop by here and say Hi. I used to have a Tdi 170 GT and was on here a lot. I traded the Roc for a Cayman S about 18 months ago which has been fantastic. I've been very lucky to secure a new Cayman GT4 that's due to arrive in Feb. Very excited. I sent the letter of inten...

I used to have a candy white Roc that I used Werkstat Acrylic Kit on and was very happy with its ease of use, look and durability. Since it is no longer available I've started using Carlack acrylic sealant instead of the Werkstat. As far as I can tell it is just as easy to use and gives similar or t...

The Dynaudio Amplifier under the passenger seat is also an active crossover to seperate the high and low frequencies to send them to the tweeters and woofers. The new head unit will not work with the Dynaudio Amplifier. You will need to replace the Dynaudio Amplifier with a new 4 channel amplifier t...

Sell it and buy a new Porsche Cayman S.

Worked for me.

I also find giving my car a good detail restores my interest. Even if it means freezing my hands off at this time of the year. It's just as well Sciroccos are good looking cars because the shape has been around for a while now with no significant changes. Maybe a few small mods will help keep yours ...

Even when its fully tilted up there are bellows allong each side so its effectively only open to the outside along its rear edge.

Consider it for the light, not the fresh air.

Sciroccos have brake actuated XDS to mimic the effect of a limited slip differential. http://en.volkswagen.com/en/innovation-and-technology/technical-glossary/elektronische_differenzialsperrexds.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Mk7 Golf GTi Performance Pack has an electr...

A MQB based Scirocco would probably be about 100kg lighter, more fuel efficient and have significantly more advanced electrical systems similar to what is available on the Mk7 Golf. Radar Cruise Control, collision avoidance, park assist, etc. One thing MQB based higher powered Sciroccos would benefi...

Yes, sorry, it was Denison.

Sextons in Wandsworth, london fitted it, the car was there for a Revo map so they did a good deal on it for me. It had full functionality, same as a factory MDI.

I dont remember the exact model sorry.

The CD changer is an either/or option with MDI.

You can have one or the other, not both.

I had the CD changer and fitted a denon gadget that gave me an iPod connection which worked great with my RNS 510. It was cheaper than removing the CD changer and fitting a VW MDI connection.

You might have bought an rSAP bluetooth unit. It won't pair with an iPhone. Put the part number of the bluetooth unit here and someone will be able to tell you what it is.

You have been very detailed but you haven't once mentioned how it sounds (beside the radio reception quality). Seems like you are more interested in the unit as a navigation device and not a stereo and thats fine but it would be interesting to hear thoughts on the actual sound. Is it noticeably bett...

I demote my old wash mitts to wheel use and use the new one for the rest of the car.

Looks so much better than that slow, dimwitted unit VW charge a lot of money for :) It guess it will work with the Dynaudio amp and speakers? I'd be happy to plug my Android phone into that once I'd found a suitable firewall :) Be interesting to hear your long term experience. Maybe it would work w...

I put mine in the washing machine with the microfiber towels. I use liquid detergent rather than tablets or powder just in case the tablets don't dissolve 100%. I'm always nervous I'm going to get in trouble for stinking out the washing machine or kitchen with Iron X or Tardis but I've got away with...

It's not the fuse.

Put another new bulb in and see how it goes.

I have no experience so do your own reasearch but I have read that FM radio reception on the Android powered stereo's is preety poor. Look into it.

I changed my tdi 170 Roc DSG for a Cayman S PDK and would highly recommend it,.
