cam belt or chain?

Hi everyone, I was under the impression that my 2011 Scirocco 2.0 TSI 210ps has a cam chain but I've just had a call from the VW dealer saying that it's nearly time to have the cam belt changed, does anyone know which it is and if not is it easy to check which it has?

Thanks.

Re: Anyone know what this bit of the engine is?

I also noticed that the bonnet holder doesn't stay in place when it's down.

I'm thinking one of these things could be responsible for my weird rattling.

Anyone know what this bit of the engine is?

I noticed this piece of trim doesn't fit very well on my car and it's clearly been glued into place in the past so I'm just wondering if anyone knows what it's for and if it would cost much to sort out the fact that it doesn't fit?

Thanks.

Re: Regarding new/refurbish of key.

I was thinking of getting this one to replace my damaged spare key, as it's only the buttons on mine that are damaged and it saves you having to get the key cut or the transponder reprogrammed as you use the main part of your current key and then the new buttons. Definitely worth a try first for the...

Re: Your views needed......

No experience of the 1.4 but my 2.0 TSI is a lovely car even if it is a bit rattly. The only thing I would say is that I once changed from a 1.4 Puma to a 1.7 Puma and although it was faster and had leather and that kind of thing, I still got bored of it more quickly as it wasn't sufficiently differ...

rename "mobile box" preset on bluetooth

Does anyone know if it's possible to rename the "mobile box" preset on the VW Bluetooth? There's only 6 presets and having one wasted on voicemail is quite annoying.

Re: 10-15K

danielabbott89 has just reminded me, I wanted one with Bluetooth as well but as it was hard to find I eventually got it without and have a fella coming to my work tomorrow to fit it, that's costing about £350 so factor that in if you want it and the perfect car doesn't have it.

Re: 10-15K

I just bought an 11 plate 2.0 TSI with 22k miles, leather, nav, rear parking sensors and electric drivers seat. Paid just over £15k for it from a main VW dealer. I noticed that white ones are cheaper than the rising blue that I went for as there's so many more available. The difference in interior m...

Gear change indicator too early

Anyone else think that the gear change indicator tells you to change up way too early?

If I follow its "advice" I tend to end up in 6th getting bogged down with the revs below 2000

I've just noticed this on my rear windscreen wiper and was just wondering if it's normal or if I'm missing a piece of trim?

Anyone got photos from Laganos, Faliraki, Malia or Kavos

I run a Greek travel site and I need a photo to use to show what the nightlife is like in these kind of places, anyone got a shot of the main strip all lit up with loads of people knocking about that they are happy for me to use on my site?

warranty repair of rattles?

Hi guys, I seem to have both the wastegate rattle and the dash rattle on my 2011 Scirocco, can these be fixed under the warranty that came with the car or will I have to pay for these to be fixed?

If it's not covered what's the rough cost to get them done or can I do them myself?

Definitely the best colour, there's a reason why it's always the blue one in the media :-)

Finally got some time to nip out, get the new car washed and take some pictures, it's only a stock Rising blue 2.0TSI but I hope you like the pics. https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7568/16145310441_3c7e0eb9dc.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7496/15524937704_628f5e3bd1.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr...

Re: remove dealer decals

Managed to pick it off with fingernails and then gave it a good wash, don't seem to be able to see where it had been so that's a result, just need to get the one out of the back window now.

Cheers fellas

Hi everyone, picked up the Scirocco at the weekend and finally stopped driving it long enough to notice the hideously girly "Vindis" decal on the back next to the Scirocco badge. http://www.pemcf.com/images/deal/vindis.jpg I'm not sure if they've added that since I purchased it or if it wa...
