Re: Change Radio on Scirroco R-Line (2016)
I took this trim off my facelift Scirocco. I had the same problem with the top clips being VERY hard to detach. The clips surrounding the top vent have a little plastic tooth which has to be raised for it to slide out. Took me nearly an hour to get it all off because I didn't want to break anything....

Re: 2017 R remapped
Hi all, had my 2017 R remapped a few weeks back by my friend who runs AET Motorsport in Normanton. He runs on a hub dyno, so power is measured at the wheels. Car was fit with a RamAir intake, and before mapping made 268hp at the wheels, which is roughly 289bhp. After remap it made 308hp at the whee...

Re: Oil Inspection/Change
By any chance is the car approaching it's 3rd birthday? It could be that the facelift is like the Audi system and it advises when an Inspection Service is due which on the Rocco is at 3 years, irrespective of mileage and also involves a brake fluid change. First brake fluid change is at 3 years and...

Re: Oil Inspection/Change
As said, it sounds as if the service counter wasn't reset when it was serviced. I don't know if it's the same on the facelift but on mine within the vehicle status menu you get the mileage and time to the next service displayed. It also gives you the option to reset but if you do it reverts to Time...

Re: Oil Inspection/Change
Bought the car from an employee at a Toyota garage, so it was serviced there. But it hasn't come up saying anything about oil inspection until the last 4 weeks.

Re: Average MPG
I haven't done a manual test. But I drove up north to stoke-on-tent which is about 2.5 hours away the other day. The round trip has left my Long-term Average MPG at 34.4 which is still better but a significant drop from 38-40. But then wouldn't it slowly drop from 34.4 back down to 31 if my normal d...

Oil Inspection/Change
My MFD is telling me to check/change my oil.. so I checked the dipstick and the oil level is at max. How do I stop it from telling me to check/change my oil every time I turn the ignition on? Does it need to be changed even if the level hasn't gone down? When I go into the MFD menu and select servic...

Re: Average MPG
One thing that did happen was that I managed to let my petrol run out entirely by accident. Not sure if that would affect the figures, but after driving normally for over a week I'm still stuck at 31-32 mpg. It is a lot colder now with frosty mornings and I do only drive about 15 mins to work each m...

Re: 2014 Scirocco iPod/Phone adapter
I use a USB adapter in the cigarette lighter to charge my Iphone, since if you use the MDI connection the cable has to hang out of the arm rest and can get squashed, plus the larger Iphones wont even fit inside the arm rest and the cable is too short to lay the phone flat ontop of the drink holders ...

Re: What did you do to your Scirocco today?
So I wrapped my dash trim in white carbon effect vinyl. Saved the head unit fascia till last, took it off (with great difficulty) only to find that the silver chrome looking trim around the top air vent is not removable, so if I did wrap it then it would look odd as the vinyl would mold to the groo...

Re: Volume control button split.
Mine was swapped out under warranty when it split. I think the plastic can become brittle after awhile depending on your hulk like strength and the weather. They come in a pack which includes both the volume and center dial so I had them both replaced.

Re: What did you do to your Scirocco today?
Shame as the white carbon effect looks decent. Yeah it took a few hours to do all the trim, first time I've wrapped anything before. The fascia would be so hard wrapping the vinyl behind the thinnest bits of trim, there's also a ton of plastic and clips behind it which would make it near impossible...
