Dear Oh Dear!!! ...VW really do know how to spoil that "I'm buying a new car" feeling! :no:

My Mk4 R32 had 'dodgy' engine management firmware out of the factory that went unnoticed for 6 months before I bought it...new car feeling spoiled! :mad:

My Mk5 R32 drivers door was a different shade of Silver that I discovered within 2 minutes of getting it home...new car feeling spoiled again!! :cry:

My Scirocco R......well only time will tell, but I reckon I'll have a few nightmares before picking it up.....next summer!!! ;)

But if there's any serious problem with my Scirocco R, I reckon it'll be the last new VW I ever buy!
Still, as the saying goes "Third time lucky!"

Later Folks,

That shit luck you've had with new cars.
The Scirocco we have was totally faultless, but I also have a Jetta 170 TDI Sport, company car, that had more faults than I can remember, including a real special one - the front driver’s seat was different to the passengers - how could they get that wrong!!! I also had faults with the DPF, folding mirrors, suspension, ICE, fuel cap, steering alignment and to top it all off 1 week old and someone smashed into the back of me - I only thank it was the works car and not the Scirocco.

Hey folks,

on seeing the opening post about week 21 build date, i called my dealer to find out if mines been allocated a build week.

well the good news is yes it has, and its Week 3!!!! I ordered the car in first week of november, but had put down a deposit back in the summer so was first on the order book at my dealer.

So it should be here mid to end of Feb. Wooo hoo.

Good luck to the rest of you.
