Re: Buying advice

I have a facelift polo GTi , had it since last June . It replaced a 2019 GTi + which I enjoyed for nearly 4 years . Apart from the rear brake pad modification ( to stop the mooing noise when reversing! ) it was faultless while in warranty. Annoyingly the water pump developed a leak 2 days after the ...

Re: Low Coolant

I had a similar problem with my 2020 gti + it turned out to be the water pump ( apparently not uncommon on EA 888 engine ! )
My car had done 12000 miles and was TWO days out of warranty. Cost me over £600 !!!

Re: tint on front windows?

If I remember correctly, the legal requirement for front screen and front side glass is that it should permit the passage of 70% light . I think the numbers are on the glass adjacent the manufacturers data . My face lift gti is the same tint as the 2019 GTI + that preceded it . The rears on the new ...

Re: White fog lights for AW Polo GTI

Facelift GTI with iq lighting . What’s the legal position about front foglamps ( if that’s what they are ! ) being on at the same time as the headlights ? I’m sure that it is legal to drive with “foglamps on unless visibility is reduced ( highway code rule 226 ) ??

Re: Any one ordered the new facelift GTI?

I have had my 2023 GTI for a couple of weeks now ! ( loving it ! It seems more refined than the 2020 GTI + that preceded it ! ) One question regarding 7 speed DSG , the previous 6 speed only “coasted, in ECO mode . The new one coasts in NORMAL mode ! It’s not a problem for me , I am just wondering i...

Re: Any one ordered the new facelift GTI?

I think your may be correct regarding placebo effect ! Although I the modified engine cover is definitely reducing engine noise. ( It’s a much more substantial thick rubber ) . As to the ride , I was expecting it to be harsher on the 18’s Compared with previous car , but it’s not ! But as you say , ...

Re: Any one ordered the new facelift GTI?

Picked up my face lifted GTI this morning. ( reef blue black roof , 18” wheels . Rear view camera. Art velours seats ) . Initial impressions driving home . Seems quiet compared with gti + I like the seats . I was concerned about the 18” wheels being a harsher ride compared with 17 on old car . ( I n...

Re: Any one ordered the new facelift GTI?

Well today I ordered a new Polo, PCP coming to an end on the grey GTI + . I have gone for a Reef blue with black roof . The car is already built and in transit from South Africa. A factory order is a 10 month wait ! So have decided to go with a car that my dealer already has in the pipeline. I am ho...
