Scirocco Central

I don't own my Scirocco anymore, but from memory, I tended to inflate to 33-35 PSI. For sure if carrying a heavier load, occasionally I inflated to a little bit higher, but never did I inflate over 39.

At a guess, it is not the central locking switch activated so passenger door and tailgate are locked?

On our Polo, I have to double click the fob to unlock passenger door and tailgate.

Indeed, almost certainly the shark fin aerial. I had this on mine back in 2015.

Please see this link for details.

Yes - for an older vehicle, I would be inclined to go with the independent. I find the service to generally be superior than at the main dealership and they quite often are happy to tackle other smaller issues, which the main dealer would refuse or quote a ridiculous amount.

My 11 year old Scirocco only had 35K on it when I sold it at the start of this year. Some lucky person has got themselves a mint (un-modded) example.

Enjoy your new ‘R’!

My 09 plate Scirocco (recently sold) had a replacement water pump when it only had 6K miles on it, but that was back in 2010! As per Paradox1 comment, I don't think it is common, but I would expect VW to offer up some goodwill with only 16K on the clock so long as it has been serviced within the dea...

I would go for the R-line as with the GT you will be getting more of the same so to speak. I think the R-Line will give a different driving experience with the DSG. But of course, depends on the condition of wither vehicle before you make your choice, but it would be the R-Line for me.

Audi R8 oil cap?

Looks like this thread has not been commented on in 18 months (9 year old thread) so sadly not much hope of a response I’m afraid.

On and off for a while I’ve had P0441 code pop up now I’ve replaced my filler cap and it stopped. Well till my full tank dropped below half a tank of fuel. Anybody got any ideas why this happens? I had this code, not on my Scirocco but on our Polo GTI. It did turn out to be the EVAP control valve t...

Hi all, A couple of quick question, hope they make sense: this is regarding the 1.4tsi Scirocco that has 3.6 litres of oil capacity. 1: Below what point does the engine oil level check light comes on? If the engine oil level check light comes on for the very 1st time, does the engine still have som...

:grumpy: haven't posted for a very long time. But here is an update. Well 2 years and 3 months after I posted this the car is now gone. I held out as long as I could. Just had our 1st baby born 2 weeks ago . And it just wasn't practical anymore. So last week it got part exd for a 2016 vw rline dsg....

I am fortunate to experience the best of both worlds, my Scirocco is manual but we also own a Polo GTI DSG which I have great fun with. For most of the time, then yes - the gear lever is in full auto, but I tend to go into manual control for more spirited driving or on steep hill climbs where the DS...

I don't think you can use the fob to fold the mirrors. Mine is an early model (2009) where you use the rotary switch to retract the mirrors and push them back out again, but I don't believe it is any different on later models I'm afraid.

Skippy is my nickname, but I am not in Australia!

Has the coolant level dropped at all?

Maybe check these pointers I found, may yield some clues. https://www.avonvalleygarage.co.uk/blog ... -cold-air/#" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

My car is also a 2009 model and I can confirm I don't get any issues with my iPhone through the MDI. My iPhone is an iPhone6 but running the latest iOS12.

I have to run it with legitimate Apple cables though and as we know, being Apple branded they ain't cheap!

Yes, coolant reservoir, but must be filled with G12/G13 coolant (not plain water), and then, don’t exceed the max fill line to allow for expansion.

We had that code on our Polo GTI (twin charge engine). Think the part was around £63. It is I think relatively easy to replace yourself, but I got a VW indpendent to do the work.

Cost me £177 including diagnostic fee.

I thought the wastegate clip was only for the petrol 2 litre, I had the clip fitted to my car back in 2012. I may be wrong on that though.
