Re: Cruise control retrofit 2010 roc

Re: Cruise control retrofit 2010 roc

Re: Best protection for lazy owner...

If the issue is just lazy/busy and not cost you should consider taking it to a detailer and getting it professionally done. Tell them your needs and they will be able to advise on what products are suitable, prep your car and apply them for you. They will also be able to give you a plan to keep it ...

Re: Scirocco Main Dealer Servicing

You're right near me. What scirocco have you got, I'll keep an eye out for you. I drive a white R. As for servicing, I'm taking my car to Russell Automotive London, based just off the north circ by Brent Cross. I've used them for years for my old audi A3. Always a top job. The guy who owns it is a ...

I hear terrible things about Jardine in Loughton. Can anybody recommend a good, safe dealer in the area that they have used satisfacto...

Re: Poorboys World Natty's Paste Wax Review

I must say that looks great. Real depth to the colour. Having a Candy White means that I use the Werkstatt process but I am wondering if the Poorboys could be worth a go. I shall do some research.

Does anybody in the East London/Essex area have VCDS software and the knowledge to turn them off on a 2012 Scirocco. I would be happy to pay for the kindness. Many thanks.

Hi Mark,

I am on the London/Essex borders mate. Still thinking about this as I don't mind the running lights on in Winter. Shame it is not a user controlled function.
Thanks.
