Re: Scirocco R Wingback Recaro Seats

a set of ropey used wingbacks will set you back appx £2k upwards, then a retrim on top of that. Be prepared to dig deep into your wallet.

Re: DSG Clutch pack replacement cost?

Apologies I'm not to familiar with the 7 speed dry clutch box but I know on the 6 speed wet clutch box, the clutch clamping force can be adjusted. For reference a set of clutch packs for the 6 speed box is circa £1,100 plus fitting. It's also worth checking that the DSG is running the latest firmwa...

Re: What Spacers??

My 2011 R is lowered on H&R 35mm springs and I am running 12mm H&R spacers on the front, and 15mm H&R spacers on the back. It now has the PERFECT stance. The fronts tuck EVER SO SLIGHTLY, and the rears are perfectly flush. I wouldnt go anymore on front or rear.

Re: Normal oil temp

I have always kept a close eye on my oil temps on my R. Even on hot days like we have been seeing recently I rarely see the oil temp go above 90-92 degs. Winter time I am lucky to see it go above 85 degs and that is giving it a hard long drive!

Re: Longlife oil and 20000 miles changes

for the price of oil and a filter, do it yourself every 5k or 6 months. You can pick up 5L of Castrol Edge 5W30 for £40-£45, and a genuine filter for £13. Takes 30 mins to do the job too.

Re: Scirocco Facebook Group

I don't think there are any really big facebook groups. We have a page but it's quiet. Most of them seem to be. The majority of posts get answered on here. As with all of these kinds of sites, anything highly technical or specialised relies on someone else on the site knowing how to do it already. ...

Re: Scirocco R

Hi mate - resonator delete is only a small section of exhaust and a doddle to fit. As for warrenty voiding, it depends how arsy the dealer can be. If you are interested in a resonator delete I know a company (Progressive Parts) who do them (very high quality) and if theres enough interest they will ...

Re: Where do I stand on returning my scirocco?

The DCC problem isn't a major thing, it just would have been nice to have all the 'luxury' functions working properly, especially as this is my first proper car! Also concerns me in terms of future saleability. I'm still struggling to understand the DCC setup so knowledge welcome . I am wondering i...
