Thank you for this detailed video, it's the best I can find from someone who has actually used the dash before making a review. In fact after watching I have decided not to buy one, this is due to you saying some distances and fuel measures are incorrect. It won't bother some people, but would drive me insane. I'm sure it can be fixed with an update to the software though.

Glad this video helped, tbh my miles range is still a bit iffy however it tells you quantity of fuel left in the tank, which is how I work it out. Other than that it’s solid & a really good upgrade

EA888 is the 1.8T & 2.0T, the facelift Rs came with a EA113 engine same as the MK5 GTI.

I would always recommend 2014 vw scirocco R-line blue motion with pan roof. 2.0 tdi it looks amazing with face lift and R body kit. (R-line) £20 road tax a year, And extremely hoid miles per gallon. The R version is just so much money to maintain, It's ridiculous.
@ElliotHarris0327 күн бұрын
All depends what you’re after wether you get a TDI or TSI or R. I like sound & not too fussed about mpg yet so petrol was always going to be the best option for me. However if you’re doing a lot of motorway & want something really reliable than the 2.0 TDI is perfect. But I do wish I had a sunroof/pan roof a lot

Always check the basics beforehand I:e oil, tyre pressure, waters. Just basic checks. Make sure that the oils not like tar & it’s clear. I assume it’s been in someone’s garage for a while for 60K? Mine has just passed 62K & been sat in some gentlemen’s collection for a long period of time.

Used to live in London. In 2021 bought a 2009 2.0tsi GT for 5k. Had problems with ignition coils. I have to say to anyone out there... it's REALLY important you go to a proper, reputable, skilled mechanic (bonus if he has specific VW knowledge). I went to 2 mechanics in London (one was VW affiliated), the other a bit of an MOT cowboy, both let me down. Anyway, moved back to Ireland and had recurring cylinder/coil issues until i finally found a top mechanic (i was lucky). I've have had ZERO problems since (3 years later), fantastic car
