Re: Tailgate rattle/clunk

I tried to adjust the stops on my tailgate yesterday but it defeated me. I was able to loosen the allen bolt but still the stop was firmly attached. No amount of pulling, wiggling or twisting would make it move at all. Any pointers?

When to service

I recently had a letter and a voicemail from my local dealer saying that their system shows that my car is due a service. It was last serviced (by them) 12 months ago. They put a sticker in car saying that the next service will be due when indicated by the dashboard. I checked the dash and it shows ...

Re: "Climate" Front Windscreen / Heated Front Windscreen

Can anyone find out exactly when the Ford patent expires/expired? I've seen dates ranging from about 5 years ago to later this decade

I parked a couple of car lengths from a wall and adjusted it myself. All looks fine now

Re: Are my headlights okay?

Just took this picture to show how they are at the moment. I've added a line across the picture using the coloured bricks on either side of the garage door as reference points. Even though the car is less than 2ft from the garage door you can clearly see the difference. Also the right hand side shou...

Re: Are my headlights okay?

Just want to share me experience with this. When my car went though it's MOT last year it came back with the drivers side headlight aimed noticeably higher than the passenger side. Like others have said here, the reflection on the car in front was far brighter than the passenger side. I made a small...

Re: Bluetooth help

Does anyone know if it's possible to retro fit bluetooth to a Scirocco that doesn't have the full multifunction display and has no controls on the steering wheel? My car was a pre-reg and bluetooth is the only thing that I wish it had. If it had bluetooth fitted from the factory, would this have upg...

Re: Adding bluetooth - What are my options?

Been reading up on the Fiscon system. It says that if you have no controls on the wheel you operate it with the buttons on the wiper stalk. But it says you access the menus on the multi function display which I also don't have. I just have the basic trip computer (white dash) so I don't know if it w...

Re: Adding bluetooth - What are my options?

That's what I'm wondering about. I have no buttons on my wheel, the right stalk has buttons for the trip computer and the left stalk the cruise control

Adding bluetooth - What are my options?

I've got a 2010 Scirocco with the RCD510 stereo but the phone button simply acts as a mute button. I'm just toying with the idea of adding bluetooth hands free connectivity. I have the white style dashboard but no multi-fuction wheel. When I searched these forums it seemed like all the bluetooth thr...

Ahh. Any idea why it came up on the dash then? I don't have the computer if that makes any difference.

When to service?

I got my Scirocco in August last year. Now 14 months on it's got 9000 miles on the clock. Would it be best to get it serviced now or just wait until the service light come on?
