New Scirocco finally arrives...

[Norbreck21a]

Wow... 2 new cars eh?? 

Both look very smart, and some nice subtle mods on the rocco! 

Yeah Rich, I'm now extremely poor 

Spare a pound guvnor' ?

Yes that the same question..... Bluemotion has always meant frugal economy etc and not a 140bhp version..........Whats brake recuperation? do you mean regenaration perhaps?

Its definately recuperation, as in the Audi adverts.  It increases the load the alternator draws when braking stealing the extra energy when not needed to charge the battery and draws alot less when driving to limit the extra strain on the engine when accelerating etc to mimimise energy loss.

if your wife thinks the boavista's are too big then let me know!! been on the lookout for 2 months for a set.   

haha, don't think so bud, the wife absolutely loves them !

To the rest who have replied, many thanks for the kind words, and VrStu, thanks for the tip on the voice control 

 

If you don't want to cut the Mic wire you could use plugs and make an adaptor loom but it'll add to the cost.

Stu,

good idea, I think Darren said he had a spare mic harness with the necessary take offs for RNS and Bluetooth. I'll drop him a PM

Love the scirocco. The reversing camera is awesome - get it fitted so you don't damage the poor thing!

Stealth, It's deffo one of the things on my to do list. However, it's quite different from the MK5 / 6 Golf units, as the rear emblem on the Rocco isnt a handle and so doesn't tilt.

It's a seperate unit that goes above the number plate in the recess between the 2 number plate lights, so involves a bumper off and a small cut ( ) to the bumper.

It's all genune VW stuff, and the Roccos in germany and some other countries have this as a factory option, but sadly not in the UK. So retrofit all the way.

Very nice Norbreck 

It is frustrating that we dont get some of the options the continent get, when its something as simple as a reversing camera

Does that make it like the Tiguan? I think SteveP showed it to me on his. Not as slick as a badge camera and it's liable to get dirty/need regular cleaning.

Very Nice Andrew!!!

Best of luck with them both mate!

I had to clean my camera on my Roc once during the winter, despite it getting dirty, you can still use it perfectly well. Happy to advise and assist in any way.

Have you spoken to Mr P?  2 at one sitting is viable.
