if the radio cut out it wouldnt save you any fuel would it, so what would be the point of that?

Why would the radio cutting out not save fuel?

ZephyR every other car I've tried with the stop start mechanism keeps all the anciallaries like radio, lights etc running while the engine shuts down.

i thought the engine ran the car and charged the electric and the electris sort the radio.

or do they do diesel powered radios that i dont no of, if so they must be crap like everything else diesel

I'm glad I've been holding off on my order, been held back by xenons not available and generally wanting to save up as much as possible before taking the plunge

Sat in my first 10My today and have to say personally i like the new steering wheel and cluster. I sat in my car straight after and didn't think either one looked better, thought both looked right with the 10My obviously looking the more modern as i am used to the 09My wheel from previous VW ownership.

Have to say i have always thought the Climate unit on the 09My looks out of place but with the red MFD it doesn't look too bad. In the 10My though with the white MFD i think the climate unit looks even more out of place, i think it's a real shame that VW didn't include the new climate controls in the 10My. Despite peoples views on the looks of the 10My climate unit i don't think you can dispute it's more cohesive with the rest of the interior than the blue illumination on the 09My unit.

The use of the 09My unit with the blue illumination on the Roc is purely a cost cutting exercise by the VW bean counters and ultimately frustrating for us owners parting with our cash.

Deacon - Thanks for your sensible answer to my question. Just wanted to know out of curiosity.

Thanks for the info markito - very useful, nor heard about some of that.

As an aside here in UK we sometimes think how good it is that as so many people speak good English we get contributions from people all over the world - like yourself. But the flip side is that unlike you (and many other continental residents) who can speak not only your own language but English and probably another language too - when we a presented with a German, Spanish or Italian site we haven't a clue what they are saying.

No problem...I just try to be helpful to other scirocco fans

Taken from the german forum and traslated with google

So, in calendar week 45 the “small model year change” lines up with Volkswagen.
The following will come, according to current conditions, with the Scirocco.

Colors:
Night Blue
Silver Leaf
Rodium grey

Interior:
Dekore piano lacquer black

Function:
Back driving camera “Rear Assist”
Keyless Go

Outside:
19 " light alloy wheel “Lugano” black set off

Special models:
“Team”

Additives:
R-LINE Exterieur
R-LINE Interieur

They said that the info comes directly from VW and the 147kw (200) IS NOT LONGER AVAILABLE FOR ORDER , 210hp IS COMING

if its true its a F**** good news

Does anyone know if DAB affects the new rear camera at all? I've spec'd DAB and if it means losing out on something else, I'll bin it as DAB reception where I live is pretty poor.

Also, re. the new colours, will they be available in UK and does anyone have any links? Are they current VW colours, so I can check out other cars in the VW range to see if they're nice or not.

Good news on the power increase, if it turns out to be true. I'll take +10bhp, thanks!!

if my build week is 43, can i add a camera to it?? will this have a massive delay in having the car?? will it push the car to the back of the que even though its in the system??

would really like a camera and dont mind waiting an addtional 2 weeks from my orginal buold date to week 45

my build week is 45 not sure how this affects the build, can these options be spec ed after this time or are cars being build with these changes

my spec is

candy white
170 tdi gt
dvd nav
leather
parking sensors
dynaudio
19 alloys

probably best you go & speak to your dealer alymac & say you have seen details regarding some changes that are due to be brought in please could he give you more details & tell you exactly how it will affect your order & options available

I wouldn't be surprised if you can't order here yet. If these options are not in the brochures in the dealers showrooms then they are not on general sale in UK.
You might get the odd dealer who is prepared to make some enquiries about these options.
However as many peeps are being quoted delivery dates of March 2010 for new orders - that takes us a long way past week 45.
Considerer also - you order a 200 PS Roc and get a 210 PS Roc delivered. Fine until you find that your insurance has gone up another group.

roundabout way of saying most dealers won't have any clue there is even some possible changes on the horizon ZephyR?!

very good round up of things to consider!

I spoke to my UK dealer 08/09 about my pending Roc due to be delivered Jan 2010 and he advised he is not aware of any changes and that they are pretty well on top of things like this normally.

SPY PHOTO (seems)

Hey figface, do you know what a battery is ?

knd of yeah, think it powers the electrics and that gets recharged by the car,therefore, would it save any fuel if your radio went off, answer no.

are you sure you know what YOUR on about

Hey Figface, maybe your car has a new feature where the battery gets charged by the alternator without any drain on the engine. I'd patent that if I was you, you'll be rich beyond your wildest dreams!
