Scirocco Central

Wow £400!...........That means that each alloy that is in excellent condition (no curving) complete with a tyre that has around 6-7 mm tread, new genuine centre caps and brand new VW storage covers are only worth £100 each! I've seen single alloys that are not as good on EBay go for that, I was thin...

Hi, I have a set of silver 18" Interlagos alloys that I don't need anymore, they are in excellent condition and have good GT radial tyres on with lots of tread. The centre caps are in good condition and I have a spare brand new set (of caps) to throw in with them. The wheels also come with bran...

Most newer Karcher pressure washers have a c-clip system on the pressure hose that you have to manually engage when connecting the hose. If this clip have disengaged then that would explain the hose popping out under pressure. Might be worth checking this out and pushing the clip back in if it's loo...

Euro car parts for sump plug (just type your number plate in) or VW dealer will sort you out.

Halfords Advanced Scirocco mats are decent quality, better than VW ones.

Should either of the two possibilities Wakey1512 described create a fault code? for example over boost situation, seized waste gate arm or solenoid failure.

I've got a ht auto splitter http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/12/31/05a65c1b91e85a87b83dedc437845ac7.jpg It used to be on eBay but I can't find it anymore. Search scirocco splitter on eBay and a lot of different ones come up Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I have one of these (also bought off Eb...

Does the 2.0 TSI not have this then?

Forgive me for being thick but what is this hose and why does it change the exhaust note when restricted?

Wet road, full beans, mapped car and average tyres!..........I think it would be hard not to spin the wheels. My 2.0tsi is completely standard, decent tyres and I reckon I could easily spin my wheels in 3rd gear (in the wet) if I tried! Sounds pretty normal to me although your probably experiencing ...

I had a similar issue every time I turned left at slow speeds. It sounded brake disc related and stopped if I touched the brakes while turning

It sounded like it was coming from the front but after changing the rear pads (which were low), the noise immediately stopped.........result!

I did my rear discs and pads myself last month. Bought Bosch discs and pads from Euro car parts and with a 10% promo code they cost me £68........bargain, perform well and are probably what the genuine VW ones are anyway, if not there probably just as good being Bosch. Unless you want uprated ones f...

Sciroccorich, Hopefully after the work is done, you will notice a difference. When my car was at its worst, i just wanted to dump it at the side of the road and burn the sodding thing out! Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Lol......like I said, I'm not even sure my car actually has an issue yet ...

TheRustySheriff,

Who did your carbon clean up for £400 and is this something a VW dealer would do?

It doesn't really affect the way the car drives as it is barely noticeable!

Great news Gollfy, I wrote one of the original threads about the same issue I had with my car (call Warranty success because of research) and I got it all done for free because I did my research and never give in to the wear and tear bull s*it. It was due to defect manufacturer parts that eventually...

When either pulling off (no rude jokes) from a stand still or cruising at low revs, if I am barely touching the accelerator (feathering it) my 2.0TSI ocassionaly appears to hesitate or shudder. Not really noticed this before but I'm not sure if this is normal or actually a problem, just on the point...

Nice one bob.........handy website!

Always a bonus!....lol

Funny you should mention that silica gel bags. Last year my wind screen was really bad with condensation. It would take at leat 10 mins for it to clear to be able to drive safely. I got fed up with this. And at work we had a delivery and amongst the box's was 2 gel bags around 3 inches long. I figu...

All the cars I've ever had suffered from mist and condensation on the inside of the front windscreen. I've had some occasions where the condensation has frozen as well, which is annoying when I'm running late. Friends used to say that a outside to inside seal (like on doors) has gone somewhere but I...

Took my Roc to VW to have minor issue investigated today, VW mechanic said he took the car out for a drive but couldn't replicate the reported issue. What he didn't know was that I'd taken note of the mileage when I dropped it off. When I collected the car, the mileage had increased by 1/4 mile........
