Re: Air conditioning - known fault?

There are more than a few owners of this version of Polo/Fabia/Ibiza and maybe even A1 that have ended up with the evaporator leaking, quite tricky to 100% tie it down to being that, someone suggested that using an acoustic(listening) device in the air vents is the only way to prove that it is the ...

Re: New here. Wind noise?!!

RUM4MO, dare I say it...but I'm 99% sure that your suggestion has worked! I pressed the door seal into the door frame with the drivers side window open, then drove 15-20 minutes on the A1 at 60-70 mph (both yesterday and the day before ) and sure it has made a positive difference, plus it has been p...

New here. Wind noise?!!

Hi total newbie to this but getting desperate for an answer/solution. Our Polo is 1 litre blue registered November 2017 and bought new at that time. From the outset we heard a lot of wind noise when driving at speed. Say 60mph plus. The noise is like rushing wind and we can only equate it to it bein...
