Re: Winterizing my rocco.

["Ben Smith" <drivervw@hotmail.com>]

Every MKII Scirocco I have seen has a factory undercoat that is tuffer than 
any aftermarket system I have yet seen.  However, it will rust where bolts 
on the underbody have been removed or new parts (like brake lines or 
brackets) have been installed.  Touch up these areas with tar roof patch, it 
works!  Also, the rear sheet metal under the bumper gave me problems on my 
first rocco, check to see if exposed metal is showing.

Notice how the AC comes on with heat and defrost!  I know this is how VW 
wanted it, but I don't want my engine to have to turn a compressor at 0 deg. 
outside.  I have seen the ground for the AC disconected on other VWs and my 
own when I got it.  I plan on installing a toggle switch to turn off the AC 
when I want to.

Get BOSCH wipers if you don't already have them, there is not any better!

This will be my 2nd rocco winter, I am looking forward to it because the car 
is fun in snow, and isn't anything to look at anyway!
