Help with 6C GTI

Hello! It's been a while since I've been on here, I use to own a 6R GTI but moved onto something else after too many issues. However I've been offered a good deal on a new 6C GTI and I'm considering a move back. The dilemma I have is choosing manual or DSG. I loved the DSG in the 6R and I've been dr...

Re: New New car - Now Shadow Blue GTI

So its been a little while since I updated this, after 4 Polo's (2 being GTI's) I have decided to go with something a little different. I'm now doing a lot more millage than I first was when I got the GTI due to work and moving house, as such I had put on 20k milage on the car since I got it, so I n...

Re: Are You Using Oil?

I just check again just under 800 miles and I got under half on the dip stick . Would you say that's normal ? How big is the tank for oil ? Also what oil do you put in ? Thanks ben! I'd say thats about right, thats probably what mine uses. I believe the dipstick represents 1 litre of oil but I'm no...

Re: POLO GTI 2013 buy or not buy? owners review please

Nice colour that! :D I prefer your shadow alloys to mine too. People always call mine a Golf too, strange isn't it, because the Polo is very different to a Golf. I guess people think GTI = Golf and the lack of Polo written anywhere doesn't help. They do punch above there weight don't they, I was st...

Re: POLO GTI 2013 buy or not buy? owners review please

I have had both a 2010 and now a 2013 model GTI, the earlier models are plagued with problems, however the only issue I've had with my 63 plate one is a weak fuel pump which was there from the start, changed swiftly under warranty and now the car is fine. I have put just over 10000 miles on mine in ...

Re: New Polo - Issue with Composition Media System

Hello,

I'm currently in a 6C courtesy car while my GTI is being fixed. I have noticed the same issue with mine, trying to turn the bluetooth off and on doesn't work as it doesn't show up in the menu's, however turning it off and on the iPhone seems to fix the issue for me.

Cheers
Ben
