Re: Tailgate rattle/clunk

My dealer says there is a "campaign" from VW for the tailgate section of the car - mine is going in next week for this and the DSG software update - hopefully the noises are gone - I told them to tighten EVRYTHING!

Re: 8GB SDHC card = monumentally slow

I bought a 32gig card - filled 16gigs of music - took 5min to get the tracks!
Ive since reduced the amount of music to about 5gigs and it works ok now - but ive wasted some cash on such a big card :-| :sad:

Front Bumper/Valance scrapes

Hi Guys

Just picked my Scirocco up on Saturday and scraped the front bumper exiting a driveway! :cry:
What can you guys recommend to protect the underside of the front bumper but still looks good?

Thanks
