Tips 'n' Tricks before pick-up
 

Hi Chaps

Hopefully i will be picking up my first Scoob on the w/e its an MY05 STI PPP, and i just wondered if there is anything i should be asking to dealer to set on the car ?

I have owned VAG cars for the last 5 years and there are a number of things you can set in the cars computer using VAG-COM , ie autolock, one touch single door unlock, alarm bleep etc, is there anything similiar on the Scoob

Or any cheap and simple mods/tips (i've got the one about stoppping for fuel each time I see a petrol station :lol1: )that are glaringly obvious to an existing owner, but not so obvious to a noob

Detango the front lights, thats free!!

you can set autolock on the doors via the alarm & if you want you can get the alarm to chip on locking/unlocking. Thats about it thou, no other fancy things can be done.

The dealer wont do it. As i found out.

I don't think there's anything you can ask "to set". But there's plenty of accessories you could always pester them for:

PFF7's Alloys
Prodrive Springs
Mudflaps

To name a few...

PPP ask for proof the fuel pump has been changed and throttle position sensor calibration check. Dealers are useless at this.

I picked mine up last weekend from the dealers, it's also a MY05 WRX STI PPP. I didn't ask this question above as I didn't know, I asked for proof of the PPP and he showed me the Prodrive Certificate with my car's details etc...

Is this enough proof then or is there anything I should check for myself? If so please let me know where to look etc... Any pictures or anything would help. Thanks.

The car is damn quick though lol :)

Thanks i was hoping this was possible, I sometimes have to drive through not so nice parts of London late at night

Thanks what are the symptoms of this not being done, stuttering, jerkiness lack of performance ?

I can't wait till Saturday I'm like a dog with 2 dicks :lol1:

if they are meant to have serviced it pull the dipstick and check the colour of the oil to make sure they did. Check air filter too if you remember!
