UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

I’m a little confused as you’ve said in your post that your car is a year old but you’ve also said it’s a 2020 car purchased in Nov 2022. I’m assuming it’s the latter - a 2020 car, so it’ll now be between 3 and 4 years old. Are you taking the dealer’s word for the turbo actuator being rusty or have ...

I wonder if this could be it. It would make sense that the infotainment fan would only come on after I've been driving for a while. It continues when I turn the system off but you'd expect the fan to continue anyway. Worth trying a couple of journeys with the infotainment unit switched off to see w...

That’s a possibility.

On a previous VW I owned, I seem to remember I could hear the infotainment unit cooling fan running after I’d turned the engine off.

I’ve seen VW’s Pure White paint with codes of LC9A, C9A, 0Q and 0Q0Q - I think all are correct, although the ‘official’ VW paint code for pure white - e.g. when buying touch up paint at a VW dealer - seems to usually be LC9A. I think that historically, some VW paint colours have been shared with Aud...

I can hear it. No idea what it is though - sorry 🙁. Can’t say I’ve noticed a similar noise with my 2020 GTI+, although I have my radio on 100% of the time, so I’d be unlikely to hear it as the noise is very subtle in your video clip. I’ll try and remember to turn the radio off next time I use my car...

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.
