UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

I can adjust this in the radio menu in my car, it's under locking and opening That option doesn’t exist on my pre-facelift 2020 GTI+. I had a T-Roc as a courtesy car in 2019 and that car did have the option to enable / disable auto locking in the car settings via the infotainment screen. Not being ...

Wow now that’s a comprehensive answer, even though I’m not interested buying a new car yet it’s good to know the pitfalls of the vw dealerships Thanks! Once I got started, I didn’t know when to stop! 🤣. There’s probably more I could add, although I’ll wait to see if the OP comes back with any furth...

@osullivj21; welcome to the forum. Firstly, apologies for the very long post; it’s a bit of a brain dump but hopefully it answers many of the questions you’ve asked. I don’t have an R Line but do have a current shape Polo (a 2020 pre facelift GTI+). I’ve owned it from new and on a positive note, in ...

Thank you So £250 from VW for the kit sound a little over priced, and that is on building so guessing it will be even more now. Also notice VW do a phone charging mat if compatable, in the center console, anyone know what to look for too see if my car is compatable? Also I sorted the UI out, factor...

I bought all the parts to equip my car with a spare, it cost fortune !!! I did get the space saver from eBay , ( it's different to a golf gti , which I found out the hard way ! ) a jack , the winding handle for jack , a wheel brace , the big plastic screw that holds the wheel down . only then to fi...

So common practice, guess i can get from a vw dealer spare wheel kit etc You could, although it might be cheaper to search for one online as you may find one cheaper elsewhere. Bear in mind that with the Polo GTI, the car’s 12v battery sits in the spare wheel well, and the (polystyrene?) insert tha...

Also notice no wheel brace or jack is that normal too? I think so. AFAIK the standard tyre repair kit consists of a can of gunk and a small compressor to reinflate a punctured tyre. Presumably you have the key for your locking wheel bolts? VW seem assume that if you don’t have a spare wheel, you wo...

Thank you @SRGTD that is most helpfull. On question 7, I probably only use it once or twice just too see, else agrees take it easy. On question 8 I did not know I could move the auto leaver right. Will let you know. Move the DSG lever left - not right - and you can then manually change the gears se...

I can’t answer all of your questions as my GTI+ is a 2020 pre-facelift model and some of your questions relate to the newer tech in 2021 (and later) cars. However, I can answer some of them - answers below. 1. Space saver spare is no longer part of the car’s standard spec on most - if not all - VW’s...

I’ve replied to your post on the forum board for the AW / BZ model Polo forum where you posted the same question.

VW did change the design of the folding mechanism for the Polo’s rear seats in the current model car; the rear seat cushions are fixed in place and no longer fold up vertically behind the front seats. The back seat backrest doesn’t lie completely flat when it’s folded because it folds onto the seat ...

Hey very late reply to this but I think my car is going through a forced regen at the moment, same as this guy idling at about 1400 and the gear indicator is telling me to downshift when it said it wouldn't usually (e.g. 3>2 at 40km/h). I'm wondering if it is a regen because although it's idling hi...

Thanks all for the replys, so at mo I'm looking at a 2021-22 special edition Gti +. Not sure what it means by special edition? Maybe referring to it as a special edition car is a purely a marketing / sales tactic to sell the car. There was a recent discussion on the Golf GTI forum on the ‘launch ed...

Should be under ‘Safelock’ in the owner’s manual.

I was aware that it’s now ‘normal’ for VW dealers to charge a diagnostic fee, but £225 sounds pretty steep for what probably amounts to just plugging a diagnostic reader into your car, even for London labour rates (I see your location is shown as London). The diagnostic fee should be the labour char...
