Content
12.2 -> Volkswagen showed
the Iroc concept in 2006.
16.325 -> "Iroc" formed the middle 4 letters of "Scirocco",
a model out of production since 1816/1817.
25.345 -> The responses were great, so this
Scirocco was introduced in 2008.
34.079 -> The car was well received in the
Netherlands, but didn't sell much.
39.636 -> That's because it was classified as a coupe,
which made it inaccessible for leasing.
50.141 -> In essence it's a restyled, more sporty
Golf with 3 doors. But yea, it's a shame.
60.11 -> The Scirocco wasn't a succes.
62.122 -> The facelift was introduced recently, but
it won't be sold in the Netherlands.
70.635 -> There are reasons to buy a Scirocco.
First, it's more exclusive than the Golf III.
77.302 -> That's something. They keep their
value better than the Golf as well.
81.68 -> The handling is better
than the Golf as well.
85.304 -> If you want a 3-doors coupe in this
class, this car offers a lot of space.
92.1 -> Especially in the back
compared to a Megane coupe.
96.378 -> There are a lot of gasoline
engine varieties,
101.014 -> ranging from the 120 hp 1.4 TSI
'til the 261 hp Scirocco R.
107.951 -> If you want a diesel engine,
that'll be a 2.0 TDI with 134-168 hp.
116.45 -> ENGINES
gasoline, diesel
125.881 -> About 150 Sciroccos are
for Sale on AutoScout24.
129.06 -> 95% has a gasoline engine,
5% diesel.
132.52 -> That means 7-8 diesel cars,
so not much choice there.
139.2 -> About 3/4 of the cars has
climate control. That's nice.
143.374 -> 70% has a manual gearbox,
30% has a DSG.
148.43 -> Prices start at 13,000 euros.
Most are below 20,000 euros.
156.046 -> Prices for the Scirocco R
start at 27,500 euros.
160.856 -> The youngest, low mileage cars
cost 30,000-35,000 euros.
168.1 -> PRICES
minimum, average, maximum
175.794 -> There are a couple of things to watch
out for when buying this car.
179.794 -> There aren't many problems
with the gearbox,
182.83 -> but check for weird wobbles in
the DSG's clutch when driving off.
189.115 -> Check if all fluids
were changed regularly.
193.93 -> In case of a manual gearbox,
check if it goes into 2nd smoothly.
198.343 -> Sometimes this will be a problem.
And no extra sounds in the clutch.
204.341 -> If you buy one with
an adjustable suspension (DCC),
208.26 -> check if all 3 driving modes
work and the rear shocks for leakage.
214.832 -> That could be a problem, of course.
217.629 -> The electric power steering may produce
some noise, especially at low speeds.
222.344 -> You'll notice that soon enough.
224.75 -> Turn the wheel left and right
all the way to know.
231.921 -> The Scirocco is too young for rust. If you
find some, it'll be a bad damage fix.
239.288 -> Candy White and Salsa Red cars may have
color difference between plastic and metal.
245.8 -> That doesn't have to be a bad
paint job, i.e. a bad damage fix.
250.989 -> It has to do with
how the cars left the plant.
254.684 -> The problematic 1.4 TSI found its
way to the Scirocco as well.
260.154 -> It's the timing chain,
so know that if you buy the 1.4 TSI,
265.077 -> especially the one with 158 hp
with turbo and supercharger--
269.428 -> The engine is known for its problems.
274.8 -> There's a compensation scheme,
but it's not easy to get.
280.1 -> Know the 1.4 is a risk.
284.15 -> If you live at the border, it might be an
idea to go to a German dealer.
288.721 -> Compensation is given
more easily there.
292.3 -> The 2.0 TSI is known for its thirst
for oil in VW sister models.
299.503 -> It doesn't seem as bad in the Scirocco,
302.82 -> but check the oil level regularly to
make sure you won't break anything.
310.5 -> The Scirocco's interior may be squeaky.
314.339 -> Especially rattling side windows are
hard to fix, so check for noises.
326.093 -> The 19 inch rims look cool, but if
you hit speed bumps too fast
332.951 -> or encounter a hole in the road,
they can crack.
337.133 -> Etcetera. You don't want that. So if
you want 19 inch, check for cracks.
346.11 -> We collected this car at the Pouw
Volkswagen dealer in Kampen.
354.351 -> It has a Das WeltAuto certificate,
a 12 month warranty.
359.9 -> It's a 158 hp 1.4 TSI
with a lot of features,
364.337 -> including the RNS satnav
we know from Volkswagen.
368.267 -> It's a nice car. Silver-grey, pretty rims...
It looks great.
374.164 -> THIS CAR
391.9 -> Thanks to
Pouw Kampen
394.9 -> Subs - Maru
