Re: Customer Service

Customer servies are terrible! When mine was delivered to the dealers and the day before it was due to be delivered to me my dealer phoned me to say that they wouldnt be able to deliver! The reason for this was that there was a suspected issue with the washers and it had to be checked. They said the...

Re: engine fault maybe?

Mine sits just below 1000 revs so i think that is normal although mine doesnt shake at all. In 4th at 30mph the rev counter is just over 1000, seems to tick over nicely!

Re: Reverse Parking Problems

Yea I have noticed this but its never bothered me as its only out of line by an inch or two, I have to say though I have found the Scirocco very easy to park and have never even looked out the back window when parking, the drop down mirror and the sensors are the perfect aid, the only other thing it...

Re: 140 GT TDI Rising Blue

Got myself a new tax disc holder today. Got it on ebay for about 15 quid which was quite reasonable considering the detail put in, they even managed to engrave my number pate onto it! Might not be everybodys cup of tea but each to their own eh!

Re: 140 GT TDI Rising Blue

Finally managed to give the Roc a wash and a wax. Pics are not very good but you get the idea.

140 GT TDI Rising Blue

Well after the fiasco with the "quality checks" I now have my Scirocco. It was delivered on a trailer from Leeds and everything was spot on including the washers. Not had the chance to clean it yet due to the weather so hopefully Sunday will be nice enough for me to give it a coat of wax. ...

Lowering springs did cross my mind but have went for the pressure washer. Will no doubt get it lowered anyway. Dont do a lot of motorway miles so cant justify the cruise control.

Re: £200 What to get???

I would think they mean the Bury kit when they mention retrofitable bluetooth Gav (which is conventional bluetooth), but I could be wrong. can they not take the £200 off as extra discount as it would offset most of your accessories already added.. S Ah I see. I have opted for a pressure washer, was...

£200 What to get???

After the fiasco with the Roc and the supposed washers problem VW have kindly given me £200 to spend. The dealer metioned a bluetooth hands free that they can retro fit, not sure what its like or if its compatible with my phone (N97) She even said I could just go and buy some clothes or anything I w...

Re: Disappointing News or What!

Gavmac: I hope they haven't registered it yet. As you're waiting so long for your car, insist that its registered as a "10" plate seeing as you'd only have to wait another week. If they've already registered it and you have a firm contracted delivery date that they've passed, i'd threaten...
