Problems With your new Scirocco...

[why_999]

Well someone has to start thread about the negatives

Everyone with your problems please post here... Lets keep it together.

Well my problems started 2 weeks after delivery.

First thing
- Rear suspension was creaking, the handbreak wasn't engaging properly... They fixed it

Second visit
- Wipers were initailly very noisy, then started to to hit the body of the car.. Fixed

Third Visit
-Wipers again, this time not hitting the body, but smearing the water and very noisy after 10-15 min of having them on. They start off very quite then they sound like a 20yr old car. Anyone that lives in Sydeny would remember last weeks rain fall, I could bearly see... Fixed????????... haven't had a chance to test them

Fourth visit
- Engine making a weird nosie/rattle when it hits 2K RPM, just before the turbo whistle.. and still at the dealership and they have no idea whats going on, they can hear the rattle but no clue.

Now driving a Jetta 1.8TSI... I miss my Roc

Please everyone please share your problems and the fix for it.

I hate reading these threads. Makes me start thinking about what problems I might have and I don't want to think about that!

I had the wiper issues as well, tried cleaning, alignment etc etc but in the end changed them out to Bosch aerotwins fixed

I had that wiper problem too... Sorted itself out after a few days of rainy weather though.

Reading the UK forums it seems the wiper problem is a common one. The solution appears to be the fitting of Bosch aerotwins. Annoying but simple.

I had the wiper issue too but a quick adjustment at the dealer and it's fixed.

When the car is engine is cold I have a slight wining noise coming through one of the speakers, it's really strange and I'll have it looked at when the first service is due but once the engine is war it's gone.

I have an issue with the dsg box. It changes up to 6th so quick that in traffic around 60kph it drones too much and it doesn't sound right, I'll get that looked at too when I can get back to the dealer

This sounds ominously like the rattle the Golf R boys had... here you go... http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/foru...tml#post711540

Octagon - That is just the DSG acting normally.. get a tune... well at least the Viezu Tune anyway... it fixes it and makes a huge difference to how the car goes too...

Yeah, won't be the same. That problem affects the EA888 with K03 only (not the EA113 and K04 as fitted to the 'Roc).

Or it could just be a Friday car!

I just wanna keep driving it
