I just went for a test drive in a Scirocco 2.0 TSi. This is a demo car at VW Jln Ipoh and they're selling it for RM224k. It's got 4000+km on it.

I thought it was a fine car but I didn't like the way the throttle takes a second to react in slow traffic . Must be the DSG. And the DSG didn't feel as smooth as the one on a test GTI I tried previously. Could be a bit worn out from all the demo-ing but I could be wrong.

If anyone's interested, they've got a demo Scirocco R for sale too. RM260k+.

I encounter poor radio reception on Golf TSI, sometimes loud/soft intermittent, what's wrong? Don't find any radio antenna, are they thin-film type?

Thanks in advance

Same issue, about the way the throttle takes a second to react in slow traffic. I guess it's a DSG thing, My friend on the mk5 gti commented the same. Few other friends on the mk6 gti and tsi also commented the same even after software update.

It takes a little getting used to I guess, might be a flaw, but overall still an awesome car to me.

Hm, I just bought a Golf Tsi one week plus, only 1100km on it. So far loving every bit of it except the 1st and 2nd gear slow reaction especially moving from a red traffic light.

No issues at all from the radio, mine works perfectly. Not tinted (yet) although I'm not sure if tinting will affect radio reception.

Might wanna check with sc? Mine's 101% fine.

Actually it has nothing to do with the DSG gearbox. It is due to the fact now that your foot pedal is electronic, not like your usual fly by wire throttle. Because it is electronic, there will be a slight delay as when you press on your pedal and it goes to the ECU and then to the engine. Happens to a lot of the conti cars. A lot of people don't face this so much when they remap their cars or when they use Sprint Booster on their VW.

Will do a google search on 'Sprint Booster'

Thanks Mavik!

u means laudness follow by speed?

I think so, sometimes the radio volume will be reduce when turning corner.

u can on or off this function in the radio setting.

Anyone know good place to install leather seat for GOLF TSi while air bag still working?

MFD -> Settings has option to increase loudness when the car is at higher speed (due to wind noise).

However, if listen to radio channels, there is buzzing / crackling sound every now and then. Very annoying.
Already check and confirm with several other stock cars, all same.

I can't find the option for loudness ...

Under MFD data, there are only

-Driving Time
-Current Fuel Consum.
-Average Fuel Consum.
-Distance
-Fuel Range
-Average Speed
-Digital Speed Display
-Digital Oil Temperature Display
-Speed Warning Function

I think I almost figure it out, it's not in MFD data but rather at RCD 310. Setting > Gala - set the speed-dependent volume adjustment.
