The official I have ordered/received my new Scirocco thread

Update: getting the Roc this Saturday!!!! Sleepless nights commence......now!

Sounds great!

Out of (self) interest, how long is it usually between delivery in country, and the dealer handing over the keys?

Mine's due in Port Kembla On the 17-18th April, but I've still got to finalize finance etc...

Congrats mate! Im not too far behind. The wait is painful, especially since I took a demo for another test drive the other week cause I was having withdrawal symptoms.

Depends on the dealer, and how fast Patricks gets the car to the dealer from the dock. Usually expect two weeks for them to hand you the keys. Can be longer depending in what you ask the dealer to do to the car. I asked them not to touch it. Not even a polish!

Thanks dude. I was tempted to do that too but decided against it. Haha

Looking at the Golf console with the ashtray the sides are closed and dont have the triangle thingys in it I think we are goling to have to order L&R of number 5 in the parts breakdown to enclose it or it will be open and look like ****

So a visited the dealer this morning.

We think we only need two, or maybe three parts to complete a change to the covered storage and cup holder.

Covered cup holder is easy. Part 1KO862 531A colour satin black code UBN. Cost $125

The covered storage is a bit more difficult to work out but we think part 5KO 857 961 9B9 covers al the parts listed above. What we can't is what finish the lid is. It is $186.50. The standard lid on this part is silver which will match the silver dash inserts. The option would be to remove the silver cover and replace it with part no 1KO 857 A 1X3 if you want the piano black version. On this lat point i'm going to see what looks like in silver first.

So ,what colour and options are ou getting for yourself?

[DVSTwig]

Well it looks like we're a two Rocco family now.

Apparently the Father in Law has been reading the brochure since I ordered mine... Walked into the same dealer yesterday, and bought their VG DSG demonstrator off the showroom floor!

Worst thing is, he picks it up Monday, and mine is only getting off the boat this week to make it worse, I'll have to drive him there to pick it up!

[ConR]

Well ladies and gentlemen, it's been a long few weeks, but the wait is over. Picked her up this morning, and she's a joy. Couple of pics of her.

Must admit this is my first auto car ever, but that blip on the upshift/downshift....oh my...makes me feel things I shouldn't mention on this forum. What a sound!

Question for all...the Golf R does the needle sweep on startup. Assumed the Roc did it too but mine doesn't. Same for all? I know it can be enabled via VAG but thought it was supposed to already.

Back to driving!

Mine does the needle sweep.... yours must be defective... sent it back...

Congrats mate, make sure you get rid of the stealerships named license plate surrounds soon.

Really yours does it? Hmm...that's weird. Wonder why mine doesnt.

[she_dub]

Yay Con! Congratulations...

Also mine does the needle sweep too... did from day 1.. go back to dealership.. after you enjoy driving it around a bit more..

[ConR]

Thanks Rebecca!

Nevermind it does work. LOL.

What doesn't work is holding the setup button on the RNS510 to get into the HW Info screen. I don't think I'm running V5 of the maps despite the dealer telling me so. He also didn't give me the DVD. So big one as I already have them on a CD.

But they did give me a bottle of champagne. Top dealer if anyone is interested. Will PM name!

[Andych]

Certainly does...

PS... change your Sig....

[ConR]

Changed! And the sweep does work. I must have been on drugs or something
