So tonight I noticed something, when reversing I put the car from D into R. Then lift off the brake but not all the way and allow the car to pull into wherever I am reversing. Modulating the brake as I go, and of course, getting the noise. So in no point during this process have I really left off t...

When I placed my order I was torn between either wheel. In the end practicality won out and chose Parker’s as they’re easier to clean. A secondary consideration was the Michelin tyre that came with them in preference to the Bridgestone’s. Another consideration was the tyre aspect ratio as being slig...

My GTI+ has recently started doing this. Started at at about 3000 miles; total silence up until then. Only does it for a few seconds, first thing in the morning when reversing off the drive. Some mornings are louder than others. Sometimes a low frequency resonance (the mooing) and sometimes a high f...

After I ordered my GTI+ excitement took over and I started to track ship movements. But, after 10 months of waiting, the realisation of “I’ll get here when it gets here” took over and I stopped bothering! 13 months after ordering I finally took delivery Was it worth the wait, oh yes!

Previous car was a 6C GTI and current car new GTI+. Both DSG’s. In my experience foot brake pressure had a lot to do with engine behaviour on both cars. It also affects how the stop/start operates as well. I could hear change in engine note and slight drop in revs via tachometer when applying slight...

On the poor connection front I assume both USB sockets in the front show the same problem? I was going to suggest, as an alternative, using one of the two USB sockets in the rear. However, having just tried that, all they do is provide power. From what others have said poor connections are not uncom...

Not sure if you know but you can cycle through the options by keep pressing the Mode button (on central console). This is my preferred way of changing as it avoids navigating the touch screen while driving. Also, if my car is anything to go by, GTI+ with Parker's, there is not a significant differen...

Hot Pink with a bold lime green stripe! VW would sell 'em by the bucket load!

When I ordered my new GTI+ I decided not to have climate. Why? Well... When I ordered my previous 6C GTI I did order climate but the garage cocked up the order when they passed it on to the factory. I was compensated for the ommision. In reality I didn't really miss it and was able to heat up and co...

Over the last few years I’ve owned an Audi A1 1.4 COD, Polo 6C GTI and now a Polo GTI+. First two cars I had for 3 years each and didn’t need any fluid tops up of any kind between services. The Audi was supplied with an oil top up bottle but I never had to use it. Neither GTI were supplied with oil ...

I opted for a Kenwood DRV410. Dealer fitted it before I collected the car. Seems OK.

My GTI+ stop/start also seems to have a mind of its own. I can drive off from cold, travel a mile, be held up at some long-cycle traffic lights and the stop/start is suspended. Then, without switching anything on or off it will suddenly stop the car. Be like that for about 20-30 secs and the engine ...

Thanks John and Paul. Went for a 80 mile drive around the backroads of north Dorset today. Very impressed by the way it goes and drives.

After 13 month wait I finally collected the car yesterday morning! GTI+, Reef Blue, Pan roof, Parkers. :D For anyone coming from a 6C GTI DSG and wondering if its worth the upgrade then, based on my experience so far, it most certainly is! Clocked up 85 miles yesterday driving around the New Forest ...

Worth a watch! New Polo GTI vs. Cooper S shoot out, uploaded a week ago.
