Credit where its due ! - MSS Kits suspension

I've had my Rocco GTS for about 10 years now and quickly became a very active member of this forum . Almost 9 years ago I bought and fitted a set of lowering springs ( adjustable height at the rear ) from MSS Kits (once a site sponsor) and posted a full install guide here > http://www.sciroccocentra...

Do you have these LED Indicator / DRL's fitted ?

Hi , I spotted these LED Indicator / DRL lamps for sale on ebay & Aliexpress and wondered if any forum members had them fitted to their cars ? The instructions look pretty straight forward , but I wanted to know if you needed the addition of resistors in the circuit to prevent 'false' bulb error...

Re: Rear seat folding mechanism

Sussed it ! . Despite other VW forum answers saying that the latch mech is the same as golf 5/6 , its not ! Although operated from the centre of the seats in the middle of the car - the latch mech's are on the outside edges and operated by a cable - there was no fault here. In the centre of the rear...

Re: Rear seat folding mechanism

Hi folks , this has just happened on my car also . The left hand rear seat unhooks when the lever next to the headrest is pulled - but then only swings down / forward by a couple of inches then stops hard. The right hand seat operates normally and folds all the way down without any proplems . I foun...

What he said

Here's a close up pic of mine , you can see that the coating is starting to chip off on the corners a little bit -but still perfectly serviceable , and no damage to my paint when fitted.

Re: Scirocco roof bars, what a joke!!!

I've been using mine for our annual holidays for the last 3 years and never had a problem ? The feet that lip under the seals have a thick black plastic coating and I've never had any paint damage from fitting and removing them numerous times . I use the thin piece of plastic card that came in the k...

Re: Wheel Alignment Done...

Seems like it was all over the place in the before measures - why was it so bad ?
In any case , they appear to have corrected most of the errors , I'd concentrate on getting the rear left toe back to nominal .

Re: Black Scirocco GTS from Ukraine

Lovely car mate - but it looks like your Ukraine model GTS has a few differences in spec to the UK version ? 17" wheels ? 'R' tailgate spoiler ? No leather ? - the special leather trim with the red stitching was one of the main reasons i bought my GTS http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd149/st...

Re: Mudflaps do they exist

The R-Line and GTS share the same side skirts and rear bumper moulding as the R , so the VW mudflaps don't fit these models either - only the base & GT versions.
