Re: Hatchback Trim Panel Removal
It took me ages to figure out there where 4 (T20 torx) screws holding it up where, the 1st 2 where easy to find, but after pulling and huffing, I decided there must be some more. then I spent ages trying to feed the cable down the OEM cable duct, and along the inside of the left steel frame. What ca...

Re: What did you and your Polo do today?
I’ve been dealing with the local installer of the autowatch Ghost immobiliser with a view to make it compatible with the Gti, after an initial installation failure of the ghost due to incompatible software codes (the ghost activated, but the car still started/drove), it was agreed that when I have s...

Re: GTI and GTI plus owners experiences
Tbh there are extras on the car that I don’t really need inc the camera, the others are: self parking (not used it yet) Pre crash Blind spot indicator on the mirrors However as I’ve never had any of these on previous cars, I’m warming to the camera, and the collision warning has kicked in a couple o...

+1 for using a cocktail stick
Oh and if your heading to the paint factors take your owners manual with you. In my case the label with the codes on it wasn’t in the boot. Then they can used the info to get the correct paint code

Re: GTI and GTI plus owners experiences
Had a recent situation with the reversing camera, when reverse was selected the camera didn’t pop up and all that was displayed on the black screen was the red and green lines.
A quick inspection and moving the tailgate emblem and opening the boot seemed to free it up and it worked.

Re: GTI and GTI plus owners experiences
After dropping the car off Saturday for them to look at it, over my concerns about the inner wheel arches the dealer tells me that they have found nothing wrong with it. But they would like me to go drive the car with a tech present and replicate what caused the issue. Which in the dealers crowded c...

Re: New GTI + delivery
Anyone here expecting delivery of a blue Gti (**19 OOY) this weekend? As a beavertail pickup has just passed me on the A417 near Cirencester with this car on the back. Despite the recent increase in Gti numbers this is the 1st other one I’ve seen outside of a showroom

Re: New GTI + delivery
It'll get quicker over time too - there's a marked difference in performance between our red GTI+ with 7500 miles on and the new white one with about 800 miles on. I’ve nearly 1200 on mine, and it suprised me this morning as I was pottering along in traffic doing 50ish when the car in front slowed ...

Re: New GTI + delivery
In debate about paint treatment. Dealer is recommending Lifeshine for £500 but from what I've read on this forum the general consensus is don't bother. I've headed that advice and made initial contact with a local detailing company regarding ceramic coating. They estimate, with the prep work, would...

Re: GTI and GTI plus owners experiences
Has anyone fitted a twin front/rear dashcam and routed the cable from the rear to the front cam through the car? If so how did you route the cable front-back? As afaik there are certain things such as the curtain airbags to avoid which might make routing it across the roof liner difficult, and routi...

Re: GTI and GTI plus owners experiences
Although it only rubs intermittently I’ve book mine in for them to inspect the wheel arch liners and I suspect that they will keep it in for several days, as they’re arranging a loan car for me

Re: GTI and GTI plus owners experiences
Re: mats It wasn’t about price more so the quality and durability which I was looking for which you’ve pointed out the aftermarket ones arn’t as good, so I’ve gone for a pair of OEM front mats at £34.99 delivered. On a separate note, I’ve just spoken to the tyre guys at Costco about fitting a tyre t...

Re: GTI and GTI plus owners experiences
I hadn’t got anything specific in mind, but with the monsoon weather we’ve been having the front mats that came with the car are taking a beating and I’d like to preserve them as much as possible. The cheapest I’ve found the OEM front mats is £35 and I was looking around to see what other offerings ...
