Re: Polo struggling to start

Ah ok. Yes that makes sense based on what I just read. Just came from owning a diesel for many many years so not familiar with the petrol types. I'll give it a couple more days and see if it improves. If not I'll give VW a call. I would imagine it's a hard thing to test for if it only happens on a c...

Re: Polo struggling to start

The only other thing I can think of is I refuelled last with standard unleaded fuel as the pump I was at didn't have anything else available. I think the cap says to use super unleaded 95.

Could this be effecting it?

Re: Polo struggling to start

Foot is not on throttle. Just holding down the clutch. I did originally think it might have something to do with my dashcam plugged into the 6v socket but have since removed that for 24 hours and tried it with no difference. Who would I call at VW to arrange a look at this. Is there typically a afte...

Polo struggling to start

Picked up my 2018 Polo SE 95ps a few days ago. Since I picked the car up from the dealership every time I try to start it from cold (after sitting a good 8+ hours) it really seems to struggle to start. The engine will turn over 5-6 times before it comes to life. Is this normal for a new car? It's on...

Re: GTI and GTI plus owners experiences

Great looking car.

I just noticed on the VW Polo configurator only Flash Red, Pure White, Black Pearl, Limestone Grey, and Reef Blue are available paint options for the GTI. Has that always been the case? It seems quite limiting compared to the other trim levels.

Re: New GTI + delivery

@mike sel: Is it showing as arrived in the UK yet for you on the VW tracker? Also, did they give any indication as to when it might arrive at your dealership for pickup? There is another thread on here involving a chap who has been waiting a while, and is still waiting, for their car to be transport...

Re: Factory closure

I'm sorry to hear you're going through this. I feel like VW should give some form of compensation for such a dramatic change on their end. I know what it is like. Last year in early June I ordered a Seat Leon with an expected lead time of 12-14 weeks. I was told, even on the paper work I received, t...

Re: New GTI + delivery

As I understand the app just shows 'In transit' which means somewhere between the factory and the UK. I believe people are getting the ship information by contacting VW Live Chat and passing over their order number as they have more details on where it is. However, I did try this two days ago and th...

Re: Anyone else ordered White Silver?

@WillWorld let's hope so, no turning back now. Let me know how you find yours when it arrives. I have had a look on multiple youtube videos and it does have a nice different shade which makes it an off-white. Hopefully in person on the Polo it looks good. I think the long wait hasn't helped, at some...

Anyone else ordered White Silver?

Ordered a Polo SE back in January which is now finally showing in transit but I'm now at a point of doubt on what I've ordered. Does anyone else go through this? I went for the White Silver as I saw it in the show room on the Beats model and it looked really nice. It seemed to be a deeper white with...

Re: Active Info Display

I should also add, if I remember correctly, that the standard ~2" digital display in-between the hardware clusters is black and white. The active info will enhance the cockpit with a ~8" digital colour display and (I hope) show some great colour displays such as current station/tracks bein...

Re: Active Info Display

I've ordered a Polo SE and one of the extras I've chosen is active info. I was unsure initially if to get the display as when I placed the order I was informed they was unable to put it through their system (back in January) and it could cause a long delay; however, I did go for it in the end. Altho...
