UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

We went away in the car this weekend and the air con was freezing! Night and day difference which shouldn’t really happen with a new car! Amazing mpg on the motorway as well!

Popped out today and it was nice and warm outside. The last time like this, I had the air conditioning on full, recycle wasn’t working properly and I was not comfortable. Today, like a different car. Fan on 1, no recycle and the car was a lovely temperature. Sat in traffic in the sun and fan up to 2...

Update and a good one. A totally charming young lady on service front desk, wearing her summer dress, took the key on arrival at the dealer this morning and came back 20 minutes later to tell me the aircon was freezing when she sat in the car. It was 17 degrees outside at 8 and she then told me a se...

We have a digital cooking thermometer and I have been out in the polo and the 911 with air conditioning on full and the thermometer in the central vent. Polo 7-9 degrees on a cloudy day. Old 911 5.1-5.2 in hot sun!

Interesting that the last post says, "surely this is a warranty issue" I checked the car for obvious holes in the two radiators behind the front spoiler and they look fine, so booked it in for a check-up with VW. VW want the car for a day and I told them I was not happy with that as I didn...

I found a dealer who promised he could help until I tried to book him. Life has got in the way but time to sort this now.

My instincts have been telling me that the air conditioning is not running very cold and the recent hot weather confirmed that. Running on full and feeling like you wish you were a bit colder. The Mrs tells me it’s fine but her Citygo in the same weather was more enjoyable and yesterday I was out in...

My GTi+ With USB has wireless car play, which was a very unexpected bonus as the car was not supposed to have it!

Great service from Witters. They haven’t an option for the GTi due to the valance and asked me to check with Volkswagen. I did that whilst out today and there is nothing on the VW system for either a tow bar valance or a kit so a helpful person from a local dealer is going to check with VW directly ...

Well, a very useful discussion with Witters. After checking the Vin plate, the car can do towing and I have sent across some pictures to their technical team who are going to let me know what is possible in a day or two.

Looking at the link, they all say exclude GTi! Anyone actually fitted one on a Gti please?

Thank you for that! I tried quoting “tow bar” but didn’t think to remove the space..

I have been looking for places that offer tow bars for the GTi and it is always an excluded model! I want to attach a bike rack and wondered if anyone has fitted such a thing please?
Ps, tried searching but tow and bar are both too short for the search engine!

My new Polo had a usb c charging lead in the glove box, which was a pleasant surprise.

I have the grey dash inserts too - I’m probably also a bit too old for a red dash .

Indeed!

Are they VW mats or aftermarket?
