Re: Fuel consumption data

Regarding this problem with mpg data resetting to zero, I have noticed that it is definitely dependent on the ambient temperature, ( not of the car ! ) this explains why I didn’t have a problem from picking my car up in October to the first time it happened in April ( when the weather warmed up ) I...

Re: Polo GTI Issues(AW)

The only issue I have with my GTI is the fuel consumption data resetting to zero completely randomly, mentioned it to tech at 1st service, I got the impression he didn’t believe me , it seems to reset more when the ambient temperature is higher, ?????? It does do the mooing noise in reverse but I d...

Re: What did you and your Polo do today?

It sounds really good.. the problem is that it is not legal without the middle resonator :( Well, it’s so quiet even without the resonator - no one will ever notice. I have a resonator delete on my GTI, sounds just like the Milltek, but cost £50 to do. It brings out a lot more character of the car,...

Re: What did you and your Polo do today?

can you upload a video to youtube of the exhaust sound? Is it resonated? It isn't resonated. After hard drives there is alot of sound from inside and I get the occasionally fart or bang from it but they are very few and far between. I have heard it does take a while to get the full sound out if the...

How hard was the wrap? Did you do it yourself?
Yeah, did it myself. Took maybe 10minutes was a bit fiddly but worked out well.

My Gti only has 6 gears, it could absolutely do with a 7th to make cruising less droney/frantic.

Tricycles have DSG7 gearbox with dry clutch

Why not?
What would happen if you did?
They have different properties and compositions. They can react and create "sludges" in the car crankcase.

Re: 2021 Model Year Changes

Some pics of the GTI model with the changes of 2021.

The blue line in the picture of the roof are the buttton for emergency call and something more that I don't know.

I would change only the front usb, because they are iluminated, but I don't like the new logos.

Re: 0w20 oil Volkswagen Polo GTI

Thanks ho8882000 The problem is that my car can have two oil specifications, and with those specifications there are 3 oils: 0w20 (508 00), 0w30 and 5w30 (504 00) So, I don't want to mix oils inside my engine. You can mix 0w30 and 5w30 in a small quantity because they are of the same specification, ...

0w20 oil Volkswagen Polo GTI

Hi everyone, My car will need a refill of oil in a short time. The problem is that I don't know what oil the car needs, because when I call to Volkswagen they say to me a different oil each time: 0w20, 0w30 and 5w30 they have said to me different workers.. So, I want to discard. I have read that the...

Re: DSG Gearbox help

Just wondering exactly how to use the DSG gearbox! Never had one before. Questions: 1. If I knock the lever over, it allows the manual lever mode to be used forward up, back down. Does the lever need to be over to use the steering wheel paddles? 2. If I pull the lever back into S (sport) mode, the ...

So is this to replace the white light we already have with one of another colour of our own choosing + dimmability? Not sure whether to go GTI red, or will it look like a portable knocking shop from Amsterdam? :lol: Volkswagen Up GTI has the red light, I think that it looks incredible! :D Personall...
