@ElAlastair; Some wheel cleaning products will degrade / damage wheel centre caps and the plastic wheel bolt covers. Have you changed the products you use on your wheels or have you started going to one of those hand car wash places, or if you already use the hand car wash places, have you recently...

I’m not going to be rushing to get another one, but I will at some point. Pretty sure it must have been a dog to happen in the space of a few days.

I did manage to change it previously pretty easily. If I recall correctly I just prised it out gently with a knife.

Jeez, really? I know dogs do that but I didn't know it was that strong.

Gonna be hard to stop it happening again in future...

I noticed today that one of the alloy wheel centre caps (not sure of the technical term) has been totally stripped of all colour. Here's what it looked like: IMG_3006.jpeg After wiping it down: IMG_3007.jpeg This isn't a wear and tear thing, as it was absolutely fine when I last looked, and all the ...

In the end I bought some OEM ones from a genuine parts dealer. More expensive than other brands, but I got them a bit cheaper than the main VW dealers quoted, and if they last as long and work as well as the old ones I’ll be happy. (These have a ‘D’ suffix on the part number; apparently correct for ...

Out of interest does anyone know the part number for the OEM boot strut? Or a direct link? Thanks. Honestly know nothing about boot struts other than that my old ones worked fine so I’ll use that as a starting point. Thanks for the tips on alternatives. 6R6827550 ( B - for WRC, C, A) 1pcs from deal...

Looks like I’m buying some new boot struts then (sigh). Thanks!

A while ago a garage replaced the original boot struts on my 6C, claiming there was something wrong with them (there wasn’t). The ones they put on in replacement I’m finding incredibly annoying. It takes the boot forever to open, if it makes it all the way, and I’ve smacked my head on it several tim...

You have two possibilitys. 1.) The tailgate lock ( know issues, water gets into it) 2.) The tailgate boot not sending signal to tell the tailgate lock to open. Drop the seats, and use your keyblade to slide in the opening to open the tailgaite. While opened, lock it and watch the tailgate lock if i...

I can sort of relate to your issues, I've never ever noticed there being an issue when opening the hatch - but quite often, when my wife returns to the car, where I have already got to the car park, ie driven in and stopped and pressed the internal "unlock" and she has walked over to meet...

The Polo 6C I’ve had from new has recently developed an issue with the boot mechanism not fully releasing when the key fob button is pressed. By that I mean the mechanism half releases, so I hear a brief noise and the boot pops up a bit, but when you lift the handle, the boot opens about 1cm and the...
