Re: Unlocking doors

Locking - One press will lock everything no matter how your system is encoded

Unlocking - In your case, the coding seems such that, upon unlocking, one press unlocks the driver's door only and two presses unlocks all doors and tailgate

Re: Unlocking doors

So long as you press once to lock then all will be fully secured (deadlocked). You would only press twice upon locking if you wish to lock the car with someone inside (with deadlocks being disabled in this case the occupants are able to open doors from the inside should they need to get out). By pre...

Re: Unlocking doors

I just can’t believe VW would be so remiss as to require the fob button to be pressed twice to lock the car. The outcome would be that nearly all similarly equipped Polos would be left partly unlocked by unsuspecting owners who press the button once only... The second press upon unlocking has been a...

Re: Unlocking doors

I've found that, after a time, I've become accustomed to pressing the fob twice (twice to lock everything, and also twice also to unlock) and do it instinctively now. Something wrong there. When locking the car, one press should lock everything (regardless of security settings on the passenger door...

Re: Brakes shuddering

Hi Welcome to the forum Looks like you've had a 'baptism of fire'; hope you can see why the others have reacted as they have :wink: There's a separate section for uploading photos of members rides; perhaps this wasn't the best time/place. As lichel has suggested; more detail would perhaps help in el...

Re: Looking forward to Saturday

I've been kinda hoping that in due course either VW themselves or an approved manufacturer would be able to supply a small conversion kit that makes use of the existing wedge connection. I think a few such converters exist in the general marketplace but my understanding is that they're not as yet l...

Another visit to Deluxe Detailing for maintenance of the coatings and rear badge removal. Some polishing required to remove ‘shadows’ left by the badges before coating with SiRamik Ultima

Re: App Connect

If your mute button is at bottom left of the screen then it's a no go for App Connect (this is the easy giveaway of the version of hardware in your car)

Re: Removal of turbo pipe.

Can't make my mind up at the moment, I'm toying with swapping the car for an Up/CityGo as I only do tiny miles now. Car is just turned 6 years old and has only done 22,000... LOL. I only need something cheap and cheerful really. But even with a few niggles the Tsi has up to yet been a great little ...
