Like a tool that removes the towing eye cover?
Could be a good shout, I'm waiting for a photo of any part numbers on it.

Re: GTI+ Lease ending - Buy or hand back?

Sounds like you had/have a reasonable lease deal. I’ve used PCP in past but am now running with PCH deals. A couple of years ago our PCP Octavia was worth more than the buying price. So I bought it to use while waiting for the new Polo to arrive. Then sold it for cash at a profit. Should have kept ...

Re: Place the part

@Andy Beats; I thought your daughter was going to get rid of her Polo last year and replace it with a Renault Zoe EV. Has she grown to love her Polo? I found a similar looking plastic spare part in my last Polo. It had a part number stamped into it and it was an end stop for the front seat rails. N...

Place the part

Hi, lads and lassies.
Back briefly to see if you can help identify what this part is.
Daughter said she found it "like in the cup bit in the driver's door" of her Polo United.
Cheers

I'm off guys

Just a wee note to say I'm off guys, I've found ICE forums too depressing lately - especially people talking about buying new ICE cars when that shouldn't even be contemplated now. Not good for my mental health, so only answer is to leave. All the best, many of you have been a good laugh and very he...

Re: Facelift Polo Life is a good value addition to VW range

it's not just semiconductors now, it's magnesium as well. It's used in the production of aluminium parts and cannot be stored for any length of time as it oxidises. One city in China is basically responsible for the bulk of the world's production, but over half of the factories have been told to shu...

Re: GTi+ Fogging

@SRGTD that’ll be because the insulation on the Dacia is so poor there’s no hot air inside to fog it up :lol: I’ve had this problem with every car I’ve had from Ford to Volvo, BMW to VW and I use my climate control/aircon throughout winter. As long as the air in the car is warmer than the air outsi...

Re: GTi+ Fogging

I would have thought a car sitting on the drive, would incur more dampness than a car being driven up a motorway everyday with the air con working, or a car averaging 10,000 miles per year? As for 5,000 miles per year, totally wrong, I've just had it in for its third service (3 years) and just crac...

Re: GTi+ Fogging

For those with bad demisting times, have you ever tried lifting the carpets to see if the underlay is damp or wet? I leave my air con on all the time, winter and summer, and I don't have any problems with my demisting. I've never used one of them demisting bags, in top of the dash, no need. When I ...

Remind me how DSG works

A colleague is asking, I've completely forgotten.
If you're braking hard, does the gearbox change down as you brake or just 'freewheel' and then decide what gear it needs as you drive off again?
In D mode?
In S mode?
I have to say I simply can't remember.

Re: GTi+ Fogging

I'd love to know WHY though. Every other type of car we've had, as soon as the aircon properly kicks in (a few seconds after starting) the screen clears very quickly. Like right in front of your eyes. So WHY does the Polo aircon struggle to clear the screen so badly? I don't think the level of misti...
