Re: DSG servicing

Hi john896 My vehicles DSG oil was changed at 60 000KM which is about 40 000 miles roughly. Since your car has such a low milage the oil change may then be 40 000 miles or 4 years, which ever comes first. Wrt your question about the mechatronics box, I believe it is the DQ250 6 speed gearbox but am ...

Tonight I will try to do as you said. I'm worried why this happened and whether I will be able to close the trunk lid after unlocking it.
Is your car equipped with a reserver camera as well?

Re: Things you just found out about your Polo (AW BZ)

On this topic, I am keen to know if anyone else knows what this slot is used for?

In case you didn't know, its for those tickets you get at parking garages :)

anyway it was a cheap project and my Polo does have a TSI engine :D :D
Here in South Africa the model just below the GTI is fitted with the same TSI badge you fitted to your vehicle. Is that not the case there in the UK?

Re: Dented my car

The 500 pounds required for excess pails in comparisson to the actual repair cost, so yes I would claim.

Re: Sound actuator buzzing

I actually want to be able to use the sport sound mode occassionally :D and would also rather it was fixed than simply disconnected Did they not offer to fix it? I asked for it to be turned off, so no did not ask them to fix it. If you would like it fixed I recommend going back to the place the did...

Re: Sound actuator buzzing

Hi PoloGTInoob Sounds like it may have been moved inadvertently (it is located between the engine and windscreen) but its fixable if you not a fan of the fake noise. Configure the drive mode with engine sound in ECO mode and the noise will go away. My car had the annoying buzz from day 1 and then go...

Re: A few DSG questions on the GTI

Logic tells me that if the egnine is running and placed in N it should be fine, but just turning on the ignition (without turning on the engine) may not be a good idea. I cant explain my answer but makes sense to at least have the engine running, whereas with a manual gearbox it makes no difference.

Re: A few DSG questions on the GTI

I am not sure wrt your first quesiton but with regards to the second, there is no need to switch between D and N in start stop traffic because the clutch will automatically disengage when pressing the brake pedal.

Re: confused me today - Android Auto

When I connect my S21 to the infotainment via USB cable, Maps automatically enables. Every now and then I see the image you posted but not as often as it used to happen. I also swapped my USB cable out and that seems to have mostly resolved the issue. I also looked at the links for the AA wireless d...

Awesome, glad you came right. The one thing life has taught me is that change is constant :p I also struggle sometimes too so no worries. Look forward to the screen shots.

Re: Steam / smoke from front grille?

I sometimes see it when in bumper to bumper traffic while raining. The bonnet gets very hot around the turbo area, totally normal imho.

Re: Polo GTS review by Joe Achilles

True, my apologies,the video was more about the place than the car but had already posted here before watcgin it though :) The same can be said for Polo in South Africa, no 1.5L engines. That said, the T-Cross R Line seems to be the only "Polo" with the 1.5L engine. I suspect it comes down...
