Re: Normal oil temperature gti?
Mine is hovering between 103 and 109, which I think is an increase on last year. I'm wondering if it's because the oil is now over 14,000 miles old

Re: 2016 GTI Oil Temperature
Oh god, that's embarrassing - I'm not a regular forum user so I hadn't spotted that there was an existing thread only one day old!
Thanks for not me, and yes that thread has just the information I need.
Thank you!

2016 GTI Oil Temperature
I've noticed recently that my oil temperature is between 101-108 Centigrade. This seems a bit high to me, especially as the weather has been quite cool here for a couple of days. I've checked the oil and coolant levels, both are fine. I'd be interested to hear what sort of temperatures other Polo dr...

Re: Stolen GTI. Best way to get keys replaced?
Yes, they are taking a liberty. They said they'd throw in the coding for free if I got them to fit the parts - I then pointed out to them that they'd already said that the cost of the coding was already included in the £347 for the parts. Can anyone recommend a good main dealer in the Derbyshire/Yor...

Re: Stolen GTI. Best way to get keys replaced?
Thanks Alex. The dealer has just quoted me £345 for new barrel, locks and coded keys with another £342 to fit them. And it takes 3 weeks for the ignition barrel to arrive. What a nightmare.

Re: Stolen GTI. Best way to get keys replaced?
Thanks Alex. Unfortunately my insurance excess is £600 so I'll be paying for this out of my own pocket. My main concern is the cost of getting a the code reprogrammed on both keys.

Stolen GTI. Best way to get keys replaced?
My GTI was stolen last night when thieves broke in to my home and grabbed the keys. :( The police have recovered the car, parked up, and now I need to get a new key, and both keys reprogrammed. The local locksmith say they haven't got the software for a 2016 Polo, what would you advise as the cheape...

Re: Strange Polo GTI Problem
Thanks for the reply. I know the brake noise you mean, but you're right - this is different. My guess is that it's a wheel bearing, but it seems a bit soon for one to fail - the car has done less than 600 miles.

Strange Polo GTI Problem
Hi I have a brand new GTI, which I'm very pleased with but for one problem: there's a constant noise like air being blown over the top of a beer bottle. I've tried to figure out what's going on and it seems that: - it starts about 0.5 miles into a journey and happens on every journey - I think it's ...
