Hi Guys n Girlz

After years of wanting, months of saving and weeks of looking I finally got a Scoob of my own - a UK300 and can now enjoy what most of you guys have done for ages.

Couple of things though - the car seems very tight even though its done 5000 miles and there does'nt seem to be much grunt below 2500rpm then it comes on big stylee - is there a problem or have i got to adapt to driving a turbo'd car.
Also have already had a trouser marking moment when the ABS seemed to cut in a bit too early for my liking - is this normal.

Sorry if the questions are a bit daff, but I am a Scooby Newbie and if you don't ask...

I've got one too and both very normal! Mine has over 15K on the clock now and is nicely loose, bound to feel tight at 5K unless really hammered.
Is your CD player crap?

 

got one too and yeh same thing with mine ( have u got the PPP ? ) I have on mine, got 8500 on the clock so feeling much looser..

my CD player is pants... jumps all the time.

 

Yeah I had the PPP fitted at 7.5K service. CD player shortly to be thrown in the bin, trying to decide what to replace it with. Any suggestions greatly received!

 

If its a stacking system, they have a switch on them somewhere to adjust the damping, depending on whether it is mounted horizontally or vertically if this is set incorrect you'l get masses of skipping.

Worth a try eh!

I think the stackers are OK, it's the single front loading one thats no good. Some of the MY01 stereos seem to be OK, but mine seems really bad, the slightest movement makes it jump.

 

CD Player seems fine on mine (single disc).

Not fitted with a PPP, so as for the flat spot I guess I'll have to cane it everywhere to try and loosen it up a bit!

 

Welcome aboard Dave, look forward to meeting you soon then can we?

Seamus, Im thinking of going to my dealer and making them sort it out, its scandalous that the CD player is so ****. Ive been in many hire cars and they dont have any probs.. I thought at first it was maybe coz it was a harshish ride, but it isnt that, its just poor quality CD player.

 

Dave, in answer to your other problem, it could well be because you are not used to driving a turbo'd car. My scoob was the first I drove (had GTIs before that) and I was thoroughly disappointed when I put my foot to the floor at low revs, looked like I'd need a calendar for planning overtaking.

Then I worked out gear ratios and how and when to downshift for the overtake

Have fun, but DON'T don't lift off when going round corners.

Sorry to tell you this - but you need to order a PPP - get another £1600 out of your pocket right now!

Its a must if you want awesome performance and a warrenty.

If warrenty not an issue get a Scoobysport full exhaust inc up pipe and down pipe.

About a match (allegedly but im not as yet driven one) for the PPP but you'll fail emissions test!!
