Parker alloys were only available with a diamond cut finish on UK spec Polo GTI’s. With the mk7 Golf GTI, in some overseas markets the standard alloys are a painted / powder coated version of the standard diamond cut Austin alloys on UK spec cars. I don’t know if Polo GTI’s in some overseas markets...

Polo GTI - Non diamond cut parker alloys?

I'm going to look at a Polo this weekend and noticed a handful on Auto trader appear to have non-diamond cut Parker alloys, I can't find any info on them or anything about their availability?

Re: Clock resetting randomly

Could also be day light settings on/off. Your manually setting the clock on the dash and then the system is later adjusting it to BST.

Re: Clock resetting randomly

Do you have satnav? Check the settings in the infotainment unit for time and date, you might find it's set to GPS and not manual.

Re: Main Dealer Service and VW Extended Warranty Experience

Informative post. I have a used VW still under initial 3 year warranty and considering the extended VW warranty when it ends. For the VW Service Price match you have to get written quotes for the jobs. How does one approach a garage and request a written quote with obviously no intention of actually...

Re: Start/Stop Issues 'vehicle power consumption high'

That helps alot, with my daily commute only being 5 miles one way, and the need for heated rear window, mirror and front demist, alongside with full lights, and with the lower battery capacity, this is the perfect storm for my start/stop to cease working. My commute is 3 miles, stop/start has alway...

Re: Does any have a 6C Scan with Park sensors & Rear Camera (low)

I have a 6C GTI with F&R P sensors/nav and rear camera. I don't have my VCDS (anymore) though. But I do have a new OBDEleven on order with ETA of 17th June. Bit of a wait but if you still need it then I should be able to provide the long coding.

Re: Polo 6C Daylight Running Lights

You can change it with Carista/OBEleven/VCDS etc.

My Polo GTI 6C w/ DRL are also on in every position. I used Carista to turn them off in position 0.
