Scirocco Central

I've just been informed by someone at a VW garage, that there is a recall on some Sciroccos. No details as of yet, but it has something to do with the boot dampners and the bolts not having the correct protection against rust. This may only affect early MY09 models, but unsure. Owners would be better telephoning their garage.

sounds about right. I've had to adjust my boot dampeners and the bolts sre rusty! Thanks for the info.

me too. askedmy garage to have alook at rusty bolts on the service next week,

There was another post on this back in feb. Have posted on that to see what the outcome was.
Annoying on a 22K car
My car is only 1 month old!!!

my car is in for its first service today, its not a recall as such but work to be undertaken with servicing and warranty work, it was announced on monday as wasn't on system when booked mine in

As we haven't got our car yet (3rd September) I have just contacted the dealer to try and get him to do something before we get it, about this problem...

Lets see what he says

Infinidim

Just got a reply back from the dealer (he has been very good and responsive ) we are getting the car from....they checked the chassis number and it looks like our car is not one of the cars that is affected

Lets see what happenes over the next few months........

new bits being ordered for mine following the check

Mine need doing.

Its at the dealers at the moment for another issue, but I doubt they will know feck all about this.

Mine had its 1 year service yesterday and the dealer was up front about the "enhancement" as it's being termed. Brackets were replaced.

yeah, called my dealer this morning booked in on wednesday for "replacement Brackets".
Shame we have to chase them n they dont contact us with the recall information!

its not a formal recall and hardley a safety issue, if you book your car in for warranty work or a service this is flagged and parts get ordered and done as a matter of course

Your dealer should be contacting you about getting the brackets changed. Volkswagen formally sent out the notice on 21st August to all dealers, and the reason i knew about it quicker is because i know someone who works in parts at a VW garage. I have also just received a letter from my dealer, who talks about phoning to get the missed 'enhancements' rectified, but already have it booked in at another garage.

Had my first service today, dealer has ordered 'kit' for brackets AND new bolts for front suspension turrets!!! Bonus.

Mines going in on monday.......... or well will just have to take the GTI for spin at work

Yep mine is an early 09 and My VW Dealer has order the parts. They should phone you if your car needs them but worth a call to be on the safe side

mine went back into today, added bonus was dealer gave me a bottle of Lanson Black Lable Champagne give it was a recall

Favouritism.....

I got jack except a peek at the new demo they got which is a red one.... got nice set of wheel but thats about it.
