Tyre pressures

Hi, could some one please let me know what the manufacturers recommended tyre pressures are for a 1 litre Polo with 17" wheels please?
Perhaps publish a picture of the B post sticker?
Thanks in advance

Re: Any one ordered the new facelift GTI?

Which dealer Steeve? My first Vw dealer was horrendous and switched to Bolton Inchcape in 2019 and haven’t looked back. Yes they had my current car a week and a bit whilst they looked at it, but when I suggested rejection they did it there and then and couldn’t be more helpful. In comparison my las...

Re: Any one ordered the new facelift GTI?

My wife got so fed up with waiting after being promised March delivery she bought a five door Mini Cooper S and is delighted. Me? I think I'd prefer the GTi but the VW dealer contact was so poor I agreed with the change.

Re: Any one ordered the new facelift GTI?

I never used to let the dealers clean my new cars. Until I had one that after I cleaned had significant fused on contamination. So bad VW GB suggested a repaint. I'd waited ten months for it too. A replacement car in the chosen colour was not an option. So it was a full refund and a quick search for...

Re: Any one ordered the new facelift GTI?

What a poor quality moulding that is! Under normal circumstances that would not have been used.

Re: Any one ordered the new facelift GTI?

Thankfully after a nightmare six months we are free of our Polo Gti order. Even though it took over four weeks to get our refundable deposit back after them inputting incorrect bank details. We were sad to have to cancel but over the ten months from ordering not once did the dealer people get in to...

Re: Any one ordered the new facelift GTI?

My wife ordered her replacement Polo GTI in early November. Since ordering not once has the dealer contacted us with an update on progress. We ended up always calling them first. Even then information was scarce. The last time we had any contact was over six weeks ago. So we've decided to cancel th...

Re: Any one ordered the new facelift GTI?

Stone dead silence from our dealer. They've been appalling since it was ordered in early November. We can only get information when we call them! We were told perhaps mid August, but then again we were told April or May before that. Its a new car for my wife, her second Polo GTI, for me I'd cancel i...

Re: Any one ordered the new facelift GTI?

We've been told at long last that our car is on the way from SA. Probably due around mid August, so it will be Sept registered. Struggling to understand the delay considering it was ordered within a day or so of the order book opening. You're saying that you've ordered one in November? Yes we did.

Re: Alloy wheels corroded to hub

Usually with the wheel in question only just raised off the ground and the wheel bolts still in but well loosened give the inside of the tyre (not the wheel rim) a good beating with a rubber mallet. First thing I always do whether new or used is remove each wheel, prepare and paint the hubs and put ...
