UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

So I've owned my GTI for almost a year and sadly my free insurance is coming to an end. I've spoken to VW Insurance and they're quoting an absolute ridiculous amount of £950! I'm 36, 10 years no claims and no points. I was expecting somewhere around the £150 mark, which is the amount I was being quo...

Seen a white Polo GTI on Callaghan Square in Cardiff, yesterday. Anyone on here?

Not sure how it's done, but you need to put the car into service mode... I think.

Yeah esp flashes when I wheel spin.

Had my first proper play with another car since getting the GTI, in July.

It was a 2003 Civic Type R. Couldn't touch me and I kept pulling away in 3rd. He gave up on the next roundabout.

Was good fun

anyone use Spotify on their gti yet? my 6r only comes up showing 'aux' on the screen due to no bluetooth however I've gone for the DAB/NAV upgrade in my 6c so will this allow for bluetooth calling/connectivity along with Spotify or would you recommend adding the AppNet also for music? Spotify via B...

This squeaking on the brakes is really starting to annoy me now! Done about 600 miles, most of which has been on country roads to and from work every day (so plenty of use of the brakes) but still getting the squeak at low speeds! Has anyone who has had this issue gone back to VW? If so what was th...

I've asked VW, and they say it can't be done... Yet.

Anyone else getting a bit of a squeak (or another very high pitched noise) when gently breaking or rolling in low gears whilst in traffic? Obviously assuming it's due to how new everything is but would have hoped 300 miles would have sorted it out... Yes! It's going to VW next Tuesday to be checked...

Encountered my first issue tonight... Started the engine but something didn't feel right as it juddered into life. Turned it off and tried again - same thing. Waited about 5 minutes and it stopped. Drove around the block and it seemed okay at around 20-30mph. So took it on the dual carriageway and b...

Must be the weekend for cleaning GTIs. Did mine too - looking great!

A sudden sense of urgency... to park my GTI in the port for 2 months no doubt... haha.

That's what happened to me. Was delivered within 4 weeks of the status change though.

Evening all, I thought it may be of interest to some if everyone with a 6c posted their order date and their delivery date as well as the options they went for. Just to see how close VW actually are, I've seen 12-16 weeks quoted for the 3 door and 16-20 weeks for the 5 door and possibly longer if y...
