Polo GTI (2017) - Damper Fault

Hi guys,

Has anybody seen the following "Fault: Damper" come up on their GTI?

Ours did this over the weekend, but I haven't seen it since. Sport button still appears to work as expected.

The car is still under warranty, but only for a couple of months, so I'm keen to get this diagnosed. From the ...

Re: creaky rear view mirror

Thanks for the reply!

I probably drive it once a week, but the vehicle is in use every day. We both have to adjust the position and to be honest the ball doesn't seem especially stiff.

From what I can tell it is the casing that kind of reverberates when vibrations go through the car from the road ...

creaky rear view mirror

Hello gang,

As per the thread title, has anybody else had this with their 6C?

Ours car pretty quiet on the road in general, despite this irritating rattle coming from the rear view mirror. Not really sure what to do about it. A gentle squeeze shuts it up for about 5 minutes, then it comes back ...

Re: 2017 Polo GTI - spare wheel/accessories

Thanks guys, this is amazingly helpful.

Is it me or is an 18" 125/60 space saver an odd side? I can find lots of 125/70 on eBay, but yet to locate the exact size needed.

Also what do you think to this:

Re: 2017 Polo GTI - spare wheel/accessories

Thanks for the follow up :D

Daft question, is your 6C on 17" or 18" wheels?

Our factory fitted Parabolica alloys are wearing 215/40/R17 boots.

Makes me curious about the size of the space saver...

Re: 2017 Polo GTI - spare wheel/accessories

Hi SRGTD,

Thanks for the reply.

Looks like I have a fair amount missing from the boot!

The retainer for the spare looks quite different in mine to the example provided.

Do you know if the picture you linked is from a GTI or a lower specced 6C polo? At a guess the wheel size is the only ...

2017 Polo GTI - spare wheel/accessories

Hello gang!

I'm new here :-)

Can anybody help me with a list or picture of the spares should be in the boot of a 6C 2017 GTI as standard?

I believe mine is supposed to have a space saver and a jack!

These items recently went missing when some clown broke the rear Window.

My local dealer aren't ...
