Scirocco Central

I've been getting around 410 per tank driving to work on A and B roads but as its getting warmer and changed to shell V power have got around 450 from last 2 tanks. Very happy as was only getting 540 from my previous golf GT TDI 140 hp on similar runs. These figures do include some intermittent fun...

Ive done a search and although there are a few threads about MPG i find it more relevant to post miles per tank so what are you all getting? Im getting 650 to a tank in my 140TDI, not bad but im sure it could be better. Hmm, 650 Miles on a tank in a ROC. I am far more impressed by those that get 35...

Hi all, having been away a few weeks took the rocco out yesterday which was cool but the accelerator seems to be really stiff especially when i press it down lots, but when engine is off its not stiff at all, is there some kind of resistance it puts on sometimes or am i going nuts lol??

Thats a lot of driving, how come u do so many miles??

I didnt get a look on the ramp but when i looked they looked ok, maybe the inner edge is more worn than the rest but as far as my eye can see they didnt seem too bad, especially to warrant a racket like they were making!

As said earlier in the thread, it is the tyres, they are worn eneven so they swapped them and although better its still there, they say itll get better as they wear, had dunlops for years and never had this before so defo gonna be getting them when these are worn!

Ive left mine for 3 months on 2 occasions and on first start it was perfect and other than a bit of surface corrosion on discs which soon ground off it was fine both times. Ive also left it for up to 4 weeks on a few occasions and again is always fine, as said before just leave handbrake off and hap...

Thats shit mate, really feel for you, my house was burgled recently its awful knowing some scumbag has entered your property and been through everything you work hard for, i used to feel so safe and secure in my home but since then theyve taken away that feeling, absolute pricks! I hope they get cau...

I hope not, ive only just picked it up from dealer!

Anyone had a rumbling from the rear at motorway speeds before? Seems to be louder when when decelerating, not sure if its the diesel exhaust or tyre noise, the TSi never made a noise like it

Yeh that is low miles so will get better as it loosens up, it also may be doing a DPF regen cycle if its not been used for a while

Great reply mate! TBH i reckon its the 1st one but ill certainly be checking that code, its not an issue as the dealer is going to fit a 510 for me before i pick it up but its just niggling to why its in there! Its a main VW dealer and they are adament its not an import Im going to get the dealer to...

I like it i think it suits it in a nice sunny climate, dont know if itd look right in overcast UK tho!

Defo not an import, just cant see why anyone would put in a 310, they are cack!

This is so cool, makes me wander if the last owner of my new roc is on here!

Cheers mate, very good post! Its making me want to change the climate control too whilst im at it, haha where will it end!

The black does look awesome tho

Hi all, just ordered my new (to me) black GT tdi 140, hopefully pick it up next week :D Tempted to get the dash inserts sprayed black but not sure if its a big job to get them out? Will post pics when i pick her up Last car was a white GT Tsi 200 (revo'd) so a bit of a difference but still a rocco!

Hi all im looking at a 2009 GT 140 Tdi but it has a rcd310 stereo, did they not come with rcd510s as standard?
