Re: 2019 Polo GTI - buying advice

A 2019 Gti will be due for the cambelt change in the very near future. So insist that it and the waterpump are changed before you buy it. Check if the tyres size has been up’d to 225’s from the OEM 215’s as this will throw the rolling circumference off and with it the speedo. Also the extended warra...

Re: Any one ordered the new facelift GTI?

Wondering how happy you are with the build quality of your GTIs. I have just clocked the first 500 miles in the new car, the problem is that the majority of those are to/from the dealership due to minor issues :evil: First was the software update and CarPlay issue. Then it was discovered that aroun...

Re: OTA update for - Data plan

I’m not sure about the accuracy of the answer that I was given by the dealer, but they are aware of a glitch in the OTA system across the VAG brands. As for the other issues that I mentioned that required a visit to the dealer, they didn’t find anything wrong with the Apple CarPlay connection when t...

Re: OTA update for - Data plan

I keep getting the same update message, sometimes I let it download, but it keeps repeating. It also keeps logging me out of the My Volkswagen service so I have to reactivate it. The car is going to the dealership on Friday (5/1/24) for a couple of minor issue's* and I have raised this problem with ...

Re: Any one ordered the new facelift GTI?

Has anyone had an issue with CarPlay when connecting a phone via the usb cable? As I plugged it in and selected CarPlay to activate the tomtom onto the centre screen and it kept repeatedly connecting and disconnecting, unable to establish a stable connection. It was working fine until recently but t...

Re: New edition 25 polo gti

I was browsing through the available Gti’s on the official dealer network and the prices being asked are around £2K higher than a well spec’d pre-order. In fact the majority of them only had the basic extras such as alloy wheels and/or spare wheel

Re: Any one ordered the new facelift GTI?

One feature that I didn’t expect was the addition of the satnav/NAV feature, with maps displayed in both in the centre console and central dash. As I didn’t spec it when I ordered the car. Disappointingly not having a CD player in the glovebox was a surprise, and I’m still trying to get my head arou...

Re: Any one ordered the new facelift GTI?

Continental vs Michelin tyres
My new Gti came with continental tyres fitted and I was wondering what the option was about them, are they OK for the Gti or are the newer pilot sport 5’s better

Re: Any one ordered the new facelift GTI?

Wondering if anyone can help me find what ship has my car onboard. Orderd a new GTI build week was 9th October and I’ve been contacted on the 30th November saying my car is on the ship to a UK port. How would I go about finding what ship I need to track Mine was built in week 42, 1-2 weeks after yo...

Re: Any one ordered the new facelift GTI?

My dealer just emailed me to say that the car has arrived at a UK port, which I’m guessing is Grimsby

Re: Any one ordered the new facelift GTI?

The engine cover is a different design from the one on the AW car that I currently have. As for my new car the dealer emailed me and said that the delivery from Germany has been pushed back until next month, but didn’t specify if the car is actually in Germany, so I’m hedging my bets that it’s aboar...

Re: Any one ordered the new facelift GTI?

The Glovis Cosmos sailed from East London on Sunday and headed north East to Durban (scheduled destination) where it arrived last night and is currently moored, so I’m assuming that it is loading/discharging cars there. Where it will head next we’ll know in the next couple of days, as there’s no da...
