Re: Scirocco 2.0tsi or Golf Ed30 both DSG

I’d go for the ED30 for the extra power and space.

Re: Chipped 1.4 or standard 2.0?

Standard 2.0 tsi rather than a mapped 1.4, less likely to have engine trouble.

I did this as well, very straightforward and looks great :)

Re: Had a mare !

Ouch!

Has it changed the sill to door gap above where its been hit?

If not I'd probably learn to live with it rather than have someone pull it out and respray it.

Re: My Scirocco has gone.....

I was in the Swindon Audi dealership a few weeks ago with a mate who traded his much older TTS in for a Q3RS and I have to say the colours Audi have available right now are brilliant, the blue you chose is spot on!

Nice car :)

On the subject of low milage/year my 58 plate Scirocco has 16k on it.

Re: Manual or DSG?

DSG for me! I don't think I'd buy a manual car again, with the exception of a classic, but i would also not buy a traditional torque converter auto.... which pretty much ties me in to owning cars with dual clutch gearboxes.

Re: Dealer misdiagnosis warranty won't pay 2011 scirocco

I'm not sure that I'm of much help but I found myself in a similar situation with a dealer after I blew the engine on my Focus ST which was "covered" by an aftermarket warranty sold to me by the same Ford dealer - not worth the paper it was written on :( I think you have a stronger case th...

Re: Dealer misdiagnosis warranty won't pay 2011 scirocco

The dealership must have a record of your visit on the 31st of May. I normally get a text to remind me of an apointment these days..... I would ask to speak to the workshop manager outlining what time you dropped your car off and your reg number. Did you take a loan car while yours was in? Did you b...

Re: What did you do to your Scirocco today?

Opened a box with a set of Eibach lowering springs in it, starred at them for a minute and decided I can't be bothered to fit them today.... Nice job for a day off next week!
