Re: Scirocco R or 2.0 TSI?

Sensible reply: test drive the R and whichever other roc is on your mind... And Obvs compare. And do some research round the forum... And make sure you choose your next ride correctly. Especially if costs are a concern. Not so sensible reply: buy the R.. Cos if you don't, when you pull up at the sid...

Re: Soon to be R owner with questions!

Heya.. Yeah, got to agree with the guys above on this.. Wait for a while and get to grips with the R as it is for a while.. Learn what it's about first n that..
I keep wanting to get mine mapped but never seem to have gotten round to it yet.. You might even find like me, that there's no need..

Yet..

Re: New to the scirocco fleet

no real need to run your car on VPower unless you have it tuned. Standard 98 ron fuel is fine (look at the petrol cap) I only fill mine up with VPower as it helps with early detonation with the map Now you've kicked my curious gene into gear here mate ! Going on all the additives n stuff that the f...

Re: New to the scirocco fleet

Also should I be using the special petrol you get from the stations!!! Not the standard unleaded crap??? As you can probably tell in new to fast cars Mine refuses to drink anything but Shell's V Power.. And quite a lot of it.. But,you know.. We have the R's for a reason. And huge petrol costs are p...

Re: My Rocco R & "Friends"

Nice. And the Roc looks great, even next to such high-end cars. Keep those photos coming. p.s. I like how you scratched those two guys from on of the pics with the Lambo. Those are some impressive MS Paint skills, mate :P cheers mate.. i will. Just missed out on a pic last weekend with one of those...

My Rocco R & "Friends"

Hi guys.. hope you like this gallery. Work in progress so bear with it :) Thought I`d post a few pics up of my R and a few of the cars we have encountered on our drives out into the UK countryside. The collection that will appear here kind of started of accidentally when we stopped at a pub for a li...

Re: Vw Fixed price service plan

Yeah.. Mine's approaching it's third birthday very soon too and I'm probably going to take out a new warranty as well..dunno if I will get much back in the value for money stakes as it is a low mileage vehicle but I reckon that official VW stamp in the book will be better to have in the long run tha...

Re: VW Scirocco and Scirocco R 2014 facelift revealed

Yep, have to agree with nevarran.. The gold paint looks kinda nice ! And yes, I agree with etotheip that its growing on me too. Damn. Was hoping to save some cash this year but never mind. I have to admit the gold paint and black luganos are probably what I'd go for up to now. Would have to get the ...

Re: Starting to feel too old for my Scirocco

Hilarious thread. I'm 42 and previously had a Leon Cupra R. Moving into a Roc R felt more like upping the game age wise, rather than lowering it. However the looks of the Roc make you feel younger because all of the sub 40 year all chicks dig it (something I'm sure is real). Now....if you had said ...

First ever fault on my R

Well, it had to come at some point I guess.. First problem in three years, so I really shouldn't grumble too much. Just noticed yesterday that the passenger side window has decided all by itself to close outside of the rubber seal instead of sitting inside it snugly as it always has. Now the window ...

Re: Starting to feel too old for my Scirocco

And the award for most interesting thread on this forum goes too... This one !! As a mild mannered 46 and a half year old ex dj,the R that is parked outside still puts that huge smile on my face just as much as my old 309 gti did when I was touring the lengths and breadths of the uk back in the earl...
