Scirocco 1st reviews

[Andych]

Oh, it has small sub already?
I'm used to a much deeper bass systems, so it does sound a bit lacking in comparison.
Haven't said that I do love this dynaudio setup.

Does it say Dynaudio on the front speakers and tweeters (doors)? If so... then yet... I believe you have a small powered sub.. at the very least it is a 300watt system (not much these days).

98 BP or Shell.

So long as its 98 it shouldn't matter.

I have heard of planty of people who seem to get better mileage / performance from Shell... I haven't used it previously as the Mondeo could use 95 or 98. 98 did make a big difference. I previously used Woolworths fuel... not any more I think.

Yes it does say Dynaudio, but from what I know it doesn't have a dedicated Sub right?
Just wondering if you can get one connected to the amp.

[Andych]

OK... I was incorrect (read WRONG)... no Sub.. just a Digital 300 watt amp and uprated speakers (same number as standard .

AS an aside.... did everyone who purchased with SatNav get the Disc?
I did... I had to ask for it... and interestingly the version already installed in the car... was an old version... the **** has the very latest Version V maps.. easy to update too.

[ZIO]

I didnt get the gps disc - how do i check the version I have?

Hold down the setup button until a screen comes up that says Versions... tap that and it will tell you. the very latest is Map version 7679. Get hold of your Delaer and insist they send it to you. You have paid for it.

Yeah I got a little pack with our Sat Nav. Disc included.

ZIO: I'll check the ver on the disc tonight, if its the upgraded maps and you need yours updated let me know and we can catch up somewhere and load em up!

My original Map version was 7492. The newest version after the update is 7679.
This thread is a good one for POI's etc... http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/foru...t0r-65337.html

Don't want to spoil the Wheels article for those that are still to read it but I was pretty disappointed with the whole thing. The approach to the story I thought pretty uninformative and flat. Don't care which car wins (would never have bought the Megane one way or the other) but reading it was like watching paint dry.

Nevermind Motor will have something to say in a couple of weeks I guess.

At some point I hope someone, somewhere goes beyond the bleeding obvious R/RS Cup comparison and stretches these cars a bit. Can they complete against say 135, TTS, 370Z or can their really out boy racer a WRX or Evo? What is the best sub $100K (on the road otherwise the 1M night be a start up winner) sporting, daily drive available for example!

Good write ups all round. Some good points and some trivial. I have to say I want one. Now off to convince the better half.

A quick question for my fellow dubers...

My rear suspension is making a creaking sound when entering or leaving the car, my question is that normal for a suspension to be settling in? It doesn’t happen all the time but I don't want it to become a big problem down the track.

I have booked it in to get it check out next month.

And got the Nanolex done will post some pictures as soon as the boys email me the before/after pics..

But I have already notice no more water marks on the sunroof every morning

Only time I had the creaking sound was when I was lowering the car back down off of a jack last weekend (when I was pulling off wheels to see if I could DIY the springs)

Just check there is no movement in the rear coils and they are seated correctly.

Thanks Bain,

Will have a look tonight.

My golf made a creaking sound from the rear when exiting, normally on an incline.
Solution was to pull the handbrake tighter. Being a new car I was babying the handbrake when I needed to pull it harder.
Hopefully same with your car.
