Smoky Scirocco ?
Discussion
A mate of mine picked up his new Scirocco 170 tdi today, and then took it straight back as it was emitting substantial clouds of white/grey smoke, the dealer refunded him and gave him his PX back, they will take a look tomorrow but why would a 14k mile, year old VAG car create an impressive smoke screen ?
I was thinking that perhaps its been moved round a compound and perhaps needed a run but he said it didnt seem to clear and didnt seem like it was going to.

My first thought is that they knew it was a pup if they immediately took it back?I was thinking that perhaps its been moved round a compound and perhaps needed a run but he said it didnt seem to clear and didnt seem like it was going to.

I thought that too.He might as well let them take a look. After all it's still under the original warranty and I presume it was bought under an approved used scheme so he'll be covered. Still it appears strange that it was fine on the test drive and now it's smokey.
Was it fuelled up prior to collection?

Are they really £18k at 14k miles and a year old?!
Yeah, they are a good looking, desirable, quality product with the right engine (well, the one that people want for economy, the right one is the R ), from a main dealer with low miles they are quite pricey, my mate was saying he was ringing up and they were coming in and going within a couple of hours, seems there are a lot of people wanting them.I think in that spec they are knocking on 30k new.

I'd prefer a Scirocco to my CC I think if the spec was identical.
