Re: How to change the digital speedometer from kmh to mph?

Unless I'm missing something, looks like you can't have main units set to litres and km/h with the alt speed display also in km/h.

Re: Twin horn?

Do all Sciroccos have twin horns, I.e. one on each side. When I sound the horn it sounds pathetic, and standing outside you can hear that only the passenger side makes a noise. Should there be one on the drivers side as well? Edit - 2017 model year They have dual horns. Not sure where they are. I h...

Re: RCD 510 Phone/Bluetooth?

Why don't you go for an after market unit instead of getting the 510 upgraded. Would be cheaper and the tech would also be newer. The 510 is clunky by today's standards

Re: Rear silencer delete, opinions?

Being Milton, you shouldn't have any issues with the system. Obviously, the sound would be a subjective thing.

I've been researching down pipes & turbo muffler deletes. Want to do as much as possible to help the car breath before looking at ecu tunes

Re: Rear silencer delete, opinions?

Has anyone done this yet? Does the car become too loud? Does it start droning to much? Does it get too loud? I'm still looking into getting a miltek catback, but seeing a 120€ is tempting (which is 1/4 of the catback price +-) https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/VW-Scirocco-2-0-TSI-Exhaust-Rear-Silencer-Delet...

Re: DSG Clutch Slip

I can't get access to the page or the content has been removed. Is there another link you can post that would give me the information? The DSG compensates for any wear on the clutches.

DSG Clutch Slip

Hi all, Does anyone know if dsg gearboxes experience clutch slip as the clutch wears down? Similar to a manual box. It could be me but I get the feeling my car isn't putting the power down as hard as it used to. Maybe I've just gotten used to it and it's time to get a tune ... [emoji6] Cheers Bops S...

Re: What oil are you'all using?

Fair enough but how can you tell if 1 brand is better than another putting aside opinions of others?

Is there a difference in performance? Less engine noise?

Re: Head Unit Replacement recommendations to replace RCD510

Dont know specifics of headunits but my next head unit swap is going to be one that's running Android. I've seen units that will also take a SIM card so map updates will be a thing of the past.

Re: VW parts vs other websites for parts

Hey mate, I've bought a non genuine headlight assembly for a Polo I used to own. The part looked exactly the same but finish quality was not as good as oem. Even the fit into the car wasn't the best either. I'm not entirely sold on oem mainly because of the cost. I will try & find a good quality...

Re: Just bought a Scirocco

For what it's worth Jack, the head unit does look like an aftermarket unit. Are you able to go into the settings & get info on make/model?

Cheers,

Re: Normal oil temp

So at what temp would I need to be concerned that there may be an issue? When I bought the car, it would sit at high 80 - low 90. As soon as did an oil change it's at low to mid 80s. So my rational is that is normal temp because it has fresh oil & when it goes up during normal driving, time for ...

Re: Normal oil temp

I don't even give it any beans until oil temp reaches 90. Just gives the turbo a longer life span. Sent from my TA-1033 using Tapatalk True? I usually start pushing it when the temp is up around 70. Might see how it goes tomorrow when I let the temp sit around 90 Sent from my BBB100-1 using Tapatalk
