Scirocco Central

Don't VW dealers price match garages with in a certain distance? Well on my first service I got them to. Is it not in their 10 promise code thing they keep going on about.

Thanks guys. I am not to keen on using my Roc to do this. This has happened to his polo like 4 times before over the last 2 years just dunno why he doesn't upgrade his breakdown cover to home recovery!!!!

Is there any risks involved if a friend jump starts his car using my Scirocco? I remember seeing somewhere in the manual about jumpstarting but my manual is at home approx 150 miles away?!

I usually get about 8mpg in the cold weather. It takes about half my commute to get the engine up to temp while in the summer prob be warmed up in a 5 minutes. I have a 40 minute commute. Bleedsoff - that must be a mistake. Do you mean you get an 8mpg drop off in the winter as opposed to actually g...

What are the costs roughly to extend the warranty?

Got the Pirelli Self Sealing tyres as they were the ones supplied when I got the car back in July 2010. Had my first service at 17,000 miles and they still had 6mm tread. Done 20,000 miles and still look fine. I do mostly motorway driving.

I have exactly the same problem! Usually when it happens I just leave the switch and by the time I have sorted the radio and seat belt they will pop out. It is annoying and think it one of the flimsiest thing on the car but still use it all the time!

Is this any good?

I am right in thinking Sumatra paint code is LR8X? The guide looks good but I don't have garage or a few days to let the paint dry.

Got my car washed yesterday and there are some mega Stone Chips on it now :cry: Just wandering whats the best advice to get these sorted? Do VW do a Sumatra touch up paint?? Have had a brief look online and can't find it on their lists. Is it a relatively easy thing to do yourself, or easy to screw ...

Well you only lose 2-3 grand if you decide to sell it straight away. If your going to keep it then I would not worry about that problem. Really depends what you want, financial situation and end deal. If you want specific options etc then prob bet is a new one as a 2nd hand one with your exact requi...

It is the most practical impractical car you can buy, in my opinion!

Has anyone had the Bi-Xenon fitted by these guys? If so anygood?! Also tempted by those LED's!!

I scrapped one of my alloys in that horrible Rotherhithe Tunnel (in London) after some 4x4 thought it had more right than me. Got a local guy who repairs alloys think it cost me £40/45 for the wheel and it looked brand new. It ain't the end of the world!

Also environmental factors like temperature and pressure can make a huge difference!
