Re: VW Polo GTI is already phasing out...

Thought I just post a link of Rory Reed explaining the new emissions from 2021 for car manufacturers.

Re: Polo GTI won’t move at all!

My rear breaks bind on to the rear disks usually after I’ve washed the vehicle and moved it up the driveway then applied the handbrake. I had to gently press the accelerator while in reverse until I had heard a loud crack and the breaks freed themselves. According to the dealer they could find nothi...

I tried two different canbus friendly led H8 bulbs and got errors, I ended up fitting Osram night breaker unlimited instead which gave a reasonable match to the led headlights.

Polo GTi 316bhp

Have linked an article from top gear, it’s a bit out of my budget.

Re: Bluetooth phone echo

An update on the wife’s Ibiza bluetooth echo is that Seat never managed to fix it even after replacing every part. The local dealers said that for some reason they could not fix it while Seat technical claimed they would but after 12 months they had also failed. We no longer have the vehicle as when...

Re: Polo GTI 2019 Navigation

no, it does not. And that is the reason why I got both: navi and apple car-play. Who can tell me, what happens when you want to play music from youtube and have navigation through apple car play? Can you do both at the same time? Normally, if you listen to youtube and switch over to maps, youtube s...

Re: Updating Sat Nav SEL

I did mine the other day and it was relatively pain free. Funnily enough I got the link from the Seat Arona forum who are using it to bypass having to pay for the update, Seat UK makes you buy a new SD card to update at £60 but I believe it’s free to the rest of Europe. Here’s the link https://websp...

Re: Fog Lights

I note autobulbs are selling LED H8 bulbs. I may give them a go as I'd hope autobulbs have done some homework and aren't selling crap. No way I'd chance ebay LEDs. I tried twenty20 from autobulbs and got the error message. Just out of interest I fitted only one bulb to check and got an error messag...

Re: Fog Lights

This sounds very easy so something I will be changing on mine when I get it, the ones on my current Leon annoy me no end but are just too much of a pain to change. Why VAG think yellow fog lights are acceptable on a 21K + plus car which has LED headlights I don't know, at least the facelift Leon (w...

Re: Fog Lights

So....any recommendations for the whitest H8 bulbs possible? I'm not interested in no-name LED off ebay, looking for whitest halogen H8 possible. I used the Osram Night Breaker H8 on mine and they give a good match. I’ve tried two different types of canbus friendly LED bulbs and got errors both tim...
