UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

My Mrs said that there was a red Polo Gti parked on the next road down from us.
She's no car boffin so I thought that she could have been mistaken.
Just nipped out and sure enough, an identical car to mine is parked just around the corner.

I had a rattle that I could swear was coming from the left of the dash. I had a passenger at one point, he was convinced that it was coming from my side of the dash. Eventually I tracked it down to being from some sunglasses that I had put in the overhead compartment, sliding and bouncing around. I ...

Audi rims look less fussy.
I'm happy with the Parkers for a similar reason.

Thanks.
Turns out a friend at work has a dongle I can borrow to try out.

If it is not too much effort then I would appreciate taking a look at an example of what is involved by way of a guide.

Fiddled around with OBDeleven tonight.. made a couple of changes to my AID. I really like version 1, but 2 and 4 are good as well. The standard red version 3 is ugly. Changed speedo final value to a more reasonable 260, rather than the stock 280. (There’s even a 300 version :mrgreen: :| ) I also co...

With reference to the auto lights, my SE shows orange on the switch if set to auto and this switches to green when they are actually on. There appears to be no dash indication, just the switch. I've been meaning to ask the same about the lights. Thanks for this piece of info. I'm surprised they cou...

I have red and it is a very traditional GTi colour.
As it is the +, it benefits from the nicely contrasting rear tinted glass.
I have also seen in person, black, white and blue, the latter being the better looking of those three.

Do you use the reverse camera much?
It's such a small car that it really doesn't seem necessary.
Visibility all round is fine.

I have a longer cable.
I've tucked it as neatly as can be bothered, it's not unsightly. It's a matching red colour as it happens but wasn't a deliberate thing.
It goes from port 1 of the USB and I place my phone in the arm rest.

Covered 300 miles today over a roughly 5 hour drive.
So comfy.
Even overtook a Jaguar xj220 on the A43.
He was only doing 55.

On my rounds today I found myself in a lane next to a Polo Beats in the same colour as my Gti+.
We went separate directions at a roundabout and then I found myself next to yet another bright red Polo.
There are plenty of them on the road now.

Went to a work conference and during a break I popped to fetch something from the car only to find a couple walking around and admiring it.
Stood and took some questions from them for a little while but remarkably they had no idea it was in fact a Polo.
They were thrown off by the size of it.

Driving home from work tonight, was using ACC towards the end of my commute when a message popped up on the dash: 'FRONT ASSIST NOT AVAILABLE' Had one amber warning triangle towards the left of the screen and two amber icons on the right of the screen. No idea why that happened. Switched the engine...

Yes, selected full manual by shoving the stick left.
I've become familiar with the car thinking it will do what it prefers over my choice if you don't.
