Re: New Polo GTI Query

Hi Scott

Welcome to the forum.

I had a similar issue with the sound actuator and had it disabled by VW. Others say using Eco mode (under individual profile) also helps.

Wrt cabin noise, no problem my side, even at 160Km/h one does not need to shout in order to hold a conversation.

Re: What did you and your Polo do today?

Took my Polo GTI+ on a 209 mile round trip this morning; the longest trip it’s ever done. Most of the journey was dual carriageway or motorway so I was able to maintain a steady speed close to the national speed limit most of the time. Driving time; 4 hrs 4 mins Ave speed; 52 mph Fuel consumption; ...

Re: Reduced Polo range

Apologies if this has been discussed. Looking tonight at the VW site… New Match Polo No 110 bhp engine on any model No GTI It may be worthwhile giving the dealer a call to find out. From past experience I use the manufacturer website as a reference but always call the sales agent for correct inform...

Re: We Connect Go discontinued

I'm not sure if there is a replacement since most of their cars now come from factory already connected rendering the blutetooth device obsolete. If there is a replacement I'm sure someone in the know will respond.

Re: 2024 Model Year Polo R Line

I checked the VW configurator here in South Africa and it seems the vehicle retains the rain sensor as standard equipment if the client opts for matrix LED. The website however seems to have the Polo R Line equipped with the GTI red stripe on the grille but suspect this is a glitch. https://www.vw.c...

Re: Lowering mirrors when reversing

Yeah I learnt the hard way in 2019 because I went back to the dealer thinking something had packed up with the motor behind the glass. Felt a bit stupid if I am honest but had I bothered to RTFM it would have caused me less stress :P Now I just leave the knob on L.

Re: GTI engine information

Would the best idea to figure out what motor is the car to head to VW and ask them? If it’s important to you to know then, probably yes. The workshop techs at your dealership ought to know - they should know the engine variant of the cars they work on. I’d be less confident the sales staff at your ...

Re: Resorted to using my old TomTom today

If you download the maps for AA then it will work (when there is no signal) although there would also be no live traffic information but map directions would be fine.

I listened to the clip on full volume and couldn't hear the noise you speak off but then I am old and slightly hard of hearing. Sorry mate.

When I leave home I need to reverse the car out of the garage but can confirm the doors auto-lock when the car moves forward again. It's a 2019 model pre-facelift.

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?
