UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Took my car in for a 2nd opinion on Saturday and they say that both the ARB's and the Bump Stops would not be MOT Failures and that instead of a total cost of £381 VW quoted, they have quoted me £179 (only 1 hours labour for each item, not 2 like VW quoted me). I'm going to get the work done to th...

[quote yorksGTtdi .. something like that[/quote]

Many thanks!

Has anyone managed to get an extended warrenty out of interest? I know that in January 05 the FSA were looking into the extended warrenty which VW sold, and that last I heard you still couldnt get one. Mine ran out March/April time, and was told to put my name on a list and I would be called when it...

[quote="M7"]i think you need to add into the poll

I'm not quite sure how, and if, I can amend the poll now, have tried clicking on edit, but it only brings up my post.

The manager blokey said that they've had a bulletin about it that its a common problem and to replace them straight away. I believe this bulletin was sent out at least a year ago, so I would of thought you would be able to claim something, as its gone in numerous times but nothing was done about it...

It seems that some of us have had issues with our ARB bushes etc, lets try to get a number to wave in the VAG groups faces etc

Not sure how you do multiple quotes but anyway : Gary : "If you do get the main dealer to do the repairs ask if they will contribute as you previously suspected a problem, and the fact your a very good customer! If they won't budge call VW customer service and explain the situation, you won't g...

My finance on my current car finishes later this year and is starting to cost me quite a lot of money to have things repaired or replaced. I was going to go for the new Polo, but have had a look around other dealers (Seat and Skoda in particular) and have to say I rather like the look of the VRS. Ou...

Havent posted for a while but needed some advice from you guys. Back in January I posted that I had a knocking noise coming from the front of my car, took my car in to the main dealer at least twice whilst still under the manufacturers warrenty, but they said they couldnt find anything wrong. My car...

Is it true that if your dipped light bulb goes, that you have to take it to a garage to change it??? It says it in the manual, but cant believe that they make cars these days which require you to take it to a garage to have a new bulb put in ... I wonder if a copper had pulled you over for a blown d...

I did pester them quite a lot, think I rang twice a week, as I was told 'we should know next week', but in the end I gave up as it was costing me money. My boyfriends warrenty ran out the end of March and even he hasnt heard anything from them (as they said they'd ring in order of who's warrenty has...

My warrenty ran out in the middle of April, but a month prior had rang VW warrenty up to ask how much it'd cost to renew as it was something that I could afford to do, but was told that since January 2005 the FSA had been looking at VW's warrenty prices, and that they were not finalised, so had to r...

Just before my polo went in for it's service, when it was under warrenty, thinkin that it would be an oil top up etc I got hit with a 1k bill for various things, including new front & rear brake pads & discs which were the most expensive part of it. Anyway, the VW garage also said that one o...

I know i've had trouble with my heating on my 02 1.4 TDi polo, tonight on my way home I was being blasted with boiling hot air ... had to open the windows! My boyfriend has VAG-COM and did fault code check on the climate unit and it came up with what's below : VAG-COM Version: Release 409.1-US Contr...
