Re: Your 1st winter as a Scirocco owner

I had "fun" last winter; with average temperatures of minus 7 I thought I'd have trouble getting in the car so decided to keep some anti-freeze in the boot, only to find that my boot had frozen shut too...

Re: First year time and distance service price...

Did your dealer know about the modified wiper arm. When I was booking my car in for the service I was chatting to the service manager and he knew nothing about the wiper smear issue on the Scirocco, but would look into it. He did say they modify the tension on wiper arms all the time across the vw ...

Re: Do you get the pointing and mouthing thing.....

A man in a Golf did a complete rubber-neck today - actually, it's mostly Golf drivers who stare the most! And when I took my car "up north" to Sutherland a few weekends ago it caused a few stop and stare moments.

Re: March 2010 Plate

You need to remember that it's your money, so it's your call - explain what you want, and a good dealer should tell you when to order....if you've got a trade in, they'll probably estimate what your car will be worth when March comes round.

Re: Paint issues

Not noticed this with my salsa red - after almost 2 months, the paint looks great with a deep shine. Every car will get tiny scratch marks when you wash it, could it be the supa-guard?

Re: How low can you go??

My 25 mile journey to and from work includes.... city, dual carriageway, A roads, a single track road and a village (with hills and fantastic scenery too) so I'm pleased to be getting around 37mpg, which is actually better than my last too cars which both had smaller engines.

I'm not far away from Elgin, I'm in Inverness (and no, I haven't been to Elgin in the Scirocco).

Re: My Red Rocco

I'm up in the Highlands - head out west - twisty roads and not much traffic; watch out on single track roads though, it's easy to get carried away! Where are you Callum?
