Some questions about the R

Post by MaToDo »

Hey Roccers,

I wanted to know, the Scirocco R, does the rear brake calipers also get the covers with the R emblem?

Simple answer is no.

The "R Logo" spring retainers are only on the front brakes.

The racing seats in the R, do they move forward like the normal Scirocco seats?

If you are referring to the optional Recaro seats, then yes

Yes, the Recaro seats. I mean if you sit at the back, and want to climb out, when you pull the lever on the seat, does the seat only fold, or does it also move forward?

I'm pretty sure they are the same as the Recaros I had in my R32 and don't slide automatically when the tilt. You soon get used to it and learn to slide forward first and then tilt.

Not sure if they updated the mechanism in the latest variant.

Nope. You still have to slide and tilt.
