Re: Engine Question about scirocco and TT
The 58 2.0 was the 200bhp model. Can't remember which year they started doing the 210 (I know my 2010 Model has it).

Scirocco in the new Driver San Fancisco game
Fast forward to 1:08 to see the Scirocco in a wee bit of trouble with the old bill.

Archie. Not allowed to talk about his large arse while driving as he's sensitive about it.

Re: What tyres do VW fit as standard to the R?
I had the Conti sport 2's on mine and have no replaced all 4 with the Michelin pilot sport 3's. The Michelin are far far better in the wet. I was constantly loosing traction off the mark with the Conti's to the point that I had to adjust my driving style. Took me a good week of driving to get used t...

Re: Time for 4 new tyres - Advice needed!
Very happy with the PS3's.
So much more grip taking off from a standing start and definitely more grip in the wet than the Conti 3's.
Would be nice if there was a place in our profile to put our tyre choice as would be nice to see the stats on who has what and the ratings etc.

Re: Which Tyres are the best?
I've just got a set of Michelin Pilot Sport 3's on. They offer much more grip than my old Continental Sport Contact 2's.

Re: Time for 4 new tyres - Advice needed!
Ok, have gone for the 95 spec.
I'll be at NW6 2RB on Sat AM if anyone wants the 2 old fronts with 3mm tread or the single working rear with ~5mm tread.

Time for 4 new tyres - Advice needed!
Having done 7k miles on my Continental Sport Contact 2's the fronts are down to 2.5mm tread. The rear are okay but I've just had a screw go through the wall and need to replace a rear. With that I might as well just replace the lot. I wasn't too happy with the Conti's as they did tend to lose tracti...

Re: Scirocco Facelift 2013 - your ideas please..
I would like the LED lights to be optional as I personally think they look chav-tastic.
Better build quality on the dash as just starting to get my first rattle after 7k miles.
A sunroof that does more than open an inch.

Re: Front Mud Flaps - only gone and bought some
Ha, glad to see my Candy isn't the only dirty b!tch atm. I'm seriously considering front flaps as well. Not much you can do about her arse, it's wide and just attracts all sorts of unwanted attention.

Re: Misty windscreen
I don't get condensation on the windscreen. That would annoy me in a new car. Does hint that there is excess moisture inside the car, have a sniff of your mats and see if they are holding dampness. I went for the rubber floormats as this is the most common place for damp to hide.

Re: If I can get a showroom car instead of waiting on my ord
If it has what you want go for it and make sure they give you a full tank of gas. Always ask that one just before you sign and don't take no for an answer. Mine was a spare demo which hadn't been driven. Still had the various bits left on it from transit. It had everything I wanted and Bi-xenon's wh...

Re: speedometer in kph?
What I don't like, and this may just be my misunderstanding. But when you have the Nav on and it has the little Directions on the MFD, you can switch to view - for example how many miles left in the tank. My focus could do that, as it has (Where the digital KPH is) the switchable section, which all...

Just go back and speak to manager. My dealer was a bit of a numpty on finance so I just went over his head to the manager.

Re: Wind noise
Another wondering about this but I thought it might just be because I fairly regularly hit naughty speeds. 80-90 mph plus there is definite noise and I'm glad of the auto volume increase. Once you're 100 mph plus there is a definite whistle on the drivers side door. I sot of put this down to not wha...

Re: SD card
You're better off going with a USB stick. I have both and the usb loads so much faster than the sd card.
