James. 9 Posted August 18, 2020 Looking into buying one (2008-2012 age range). Anyone on here have first hand experience of them (specifically with the 2.0 TFSI engine). What to look for etc (Is there an owners forum buyers guide ?). Any guidance appreciated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dox 23 Posted August 18, 2020 Mrs had a 2010 Tdi for 2.5 years, nothing but servicing and a pair of rear spring broken - got rid of it after the emissions upgrade due to poorer low throttle response and dpf regen too frequent imo. a lad at work also has a Tdi with 130k and had a bill of around 1200 for the last mot for rear suspension springs, bushes and the electronically adjustable Dampers - they warned him of the impending fate of the front for the next mot..... he’s getting rid of it. The mrs is now a Scirocco spotter, “Ohh my old car” every journey - it’s the only car she’s ever taken any notice of... “Saw a lovely purple one today, have you seen the grey one on the new estate”, follow by “When you going to get your shit cars off my patio”... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
