OK, thanks.

Edit:- I use 15" alloys on my wife's 2015 VW Polo 1.2TSI 110PS SEL in Winter time Just out of curiosity, do you notice any appreciable difference in ride quality on 15" rims? I'd really like to soften the ride on mine & had thought about dropping down to the 60 profile on 15", ho...

B pillar label only references the TPMS, no pressures there. I guess VW were just too cheap to provide the correct size spare for the SEL (16") & probably the GTI (17") too. The 185/60/15 being standard for the rest of the range, there was no need for additional pressures as it would b...

Not on mine, checked there first.

Thanks, I guessed at 2.2 but I suppose not that critical in the short term.

But I was surprised at the difference in diameter. There should be theoretically little difference between the two but the 15" measures 25mm/1" more.

Washing the car the day before it's MOT I found a bulge in the sidewall of one of the tyres. Annoying as it's only done a few thousand miles since fitted. Stuck the spare on which I thought was supposed to be full size but it's not. Tyres are 215/45/16 & the spare is a 185/60/15! So can't get it...

I'm a bit confused about what exactly is meant by "actuator" & it not being available as a part. My 2015 1.2 TSI 110 started throwing up intermittent EPC light recently & OBD11 gave a code of P334B00 (charge pressure actuator). That's this part tucked away at the back of the engine...

I'd given up on memory cards in the car in favour of simply BT from my phone. Much more reliable with only the loss of artwork. But of course all phone manufacturers have now conspired to remove micro SD support from their devices so back to square one!

Sadly not. I just learned to live with it being a bit crap.

I did look briefly at getting the control unit upgraded but I don't spend enough time in it these days to justify the expense.

I've never been happy with the ride on the larger rim/lower profile of the SEL which uses 215/45/16 instead of the 185/60/15 of the lower spec. Never driven a car on 15s but wondering how other SEL owners find the ride? I always equate top spec with comfort, so not sure why VW opted for this choice ...

The unit in my 2015 Polo has a number of annoying glitches so I'd like to try a firmware update, but not willing to pay a dealer when there's no guarantee anything will be any better afterwards. Anyone know of a trusted resource for the latest firmware?

So, the cover arrived today, 14 days after ordering & does have a VW badge. VW2.jpg Came with no instructions so had to hunt around to find where the bracket goes. Item 6 in the image below was an bolt requiring a 10mm socket to remove. The cover came with a Torx screw but I reused the bolt. VW....

Thanks both.

This is still nagging at me so I think I'm going to have to buy one! Did yours come with the badge or did you have to source that separately? Just had a look at at AliExpress & all the current listings seem to be without the badge.
