Re: Electric folding mirrors

I have tried using the mirror switch in the folding position with the ignition off, with ignition on and with the engine running and none of these actions get the mirrors to fold. I am going to visit the local VW dealer from where we bought the car from, early in the new year. If necessary, I will g...

Re: Electric folding mirrors

Our Polo United does have the folding mirror symbol on the mirrors control knob, exactly as shown, circled in red on previous photo. It is strange that our Vehicle settings menu shows Mirror and Wiper settings when there are no mirror settings to set? Why not just state Wiper settings? The handbook ...

Re: Electric folding mirrors

Our VW Polo is now about six weeks old so we thought we would try to alter the mirror settings to do the following: 1. Allow nearside mirror to dip when parking close to a kerb 2. Allow both mirrors to fold in when locking the car when parking in tight spaces. (We do have the folding mirror symbol o...

Re: Stop start and braking

I was referring of course to most VW Polos cars as usually specced. I think few drivers will be paying out £620 for adaptive cruise control. Neither will most drivers want to pay out £690 for lane assist, £450 for park assist or even £260 for a rear view camera.

Re: Stop start and braking

I wouldn't think that ACC is an accessory that many people pay for?

Re: Stop start and braking

There is nothing to gain in inching forward a few yards at a time, in fact you are going to get more exhaust fumes from the car in front. Wait until a 10 yard gap opens up and then pull forward and then stop and your engine also stops. Repeat this until the end of the traffic jam.

Re: Stop start and braking

Having read through this thread I am surprised that no-one has mentioned the health benefits. The stop start system operates most of the times in cities and towns which also have a high residential occupation. A lot of these residents are pedestrians who are often children. We should not be thinking...

Re: New mid range United spec

Hi, my first posting. I ordered one of these for my wife (with her approval) early September and it arrived two weeks ago. The only extras we ordered were white paint + DSG automatic transmission. We are both getting on a bit and this was to replace an 8 year old manual Fabia diesel which was starti...
