Scirocco R DSG Update

Hi,

I got a DSG software updated from the dealer , however when driving back it feels slow.. does it take a while for it to adapt?

It went from 2603 to 2712 software version. But weirdly the hardware number changed from 02E300054P to 02E300057J.

I would of thought that would not change ?

Re: Scirocco R rear panel knocking noise

Took the car to VW who confirmed noise from near side rear. They took it up the ramp and found the NSR chassis control sensor creaking when applying pressure to the wheel. They disconnected and did a road test stating that the noise was gone. Said said they put some lubrication on the joints of the ...

I'll try to see if it is that when my odbeleven arrives so I can disable it instead of unplugging it.

Re: Windscreen/wipers rattle sound

How do manage to get your wipers into service mode while driving? If it goes away with the wiper's being up it points to the arms vibrating against the scuttle or something when parked. Check the clearances around the wiper arms / blades. Hi put the key in ignition and take it out then just press a...

Re: Windscreen/wipers rattle sound

Is there a reason why the wiper being up stops the soundaktor from making that creaking / rattling?

When I mean the wipers being up I don't mean as then being on but as when u put the wipers all the way up to the driver side and staying there while driving to see if the wipers were the cause.

Windscreen/wipers rattle sound

Hey guys when I drive and put my foot down around 2k-4k rpm I hear a rattle sound that sounds from the windscreen/dash .. however when I put the wipers up and drive around with the wipers up I can't hear the creek / rattle.
Do I need a replacement for the wipers or could it be something else ?

Re: ROC r mpg

I'm getting 35mpg on a 8 mile trip to work, which I think is good for the R. Mind, I'm driving like an old man to get this. Normal driving it's more like 31 - 32 mpg on longer trips. Most I've had is 41 mpg sitting at about 60mph, very boring. I've had it in the mid teens coming home from work, on ...

Steering wheel squeaking ?

Hi anyone else notice a squeaking noise when turning the steering wheel when stationary position ??

Is that normal ?
Or is it a steering rack issue ?

I have a scirocco r 2011 plate.

Thanks

Hi does anyone actually know if this works with the MFD on the scirocco R 2011 plate ? Does navigation directions work on MFD ? I know it's an OEM unit as VW sell it but just wondering if it does or not . Or do you have to have a special cable or use vagcom to enable the option ? Thanks Sent from my...
