UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

just a quick update, I did not go to the dealer I purchased from. I do not see why I should have to do almost a 4-hour round trip as I have vw dealership closer to me. So I took it to my local one, where I get all work and services done and they took a photo and passed it on to the warranty departme...

A common issue with the soundaktor - not just in the Polo GTI but lots of Golf GTI and R owners have also had the issue you describe. You’ve found a solution by not having the engine sound in Sport. I personally really dislike the fake engine sound so I set it to whatever the lowest setting is (Eco...

I had the same issue with my vehicle so the VW techs disabled the sound actuator installed behind the dash. Problem solved.

Thank you very much for the reply , appreciate it

If you get now joy, a fabric de-bobbler and fine work with small sharp scissors will improve it.

Thanks for that, hope I get some joy from the dealer, i am just not sure how I, or my 2 passengers that have been in the seat, could have done it. Thank you

Hi all, a question. I have got some miles on the car now, so have done some spirited driving, keeping in the speed limit. Have been getting a kind of rattling noise when revs go above 4k and accelerating in a spirited way. I have the sport sound on when it does this. If I change the sound to normal ...

Maybe a manufacturing defect in the fabric? Don’t be surprised though if the dealer’s initial response is that it’s been caused by an ‘external influence’ - i.e. studs, zips or other fastenings on a passenger’s clothing. Hope you get it sorted. Please update this discussion topic once you’ve spoken...

I agree with the cardinal, does it feel like it’s been caught with something and pulled it up? Is there any tear? Is the seat used regularly and someone has keys in their back pocket or something? Just trying to prepare you if your dealer isn’t a decent one. There is no tear in the seat, car is onl...

So love the car, but will be calling the dealer as there is an issue with the passenger seat. I noticed it today, there was like 3 dots I see on the seat, they looked like little water drops, but to the touch, they feel slightly raised, so maybe a problem with stitching not sure. would add a picture...

@LEEA123 - As@The Cardinal has said, move the selector lever to the left and you’ll be in manual mode and it’ll stay that way until you move the lever back to the right. You can then use either the paddles on the steering wheel to change gear or the selector lever. No error on your part with manual...

Shouldn’t be arrows unless you’ve put a destination in on the VW sat nav so that’s a weird one. Is there a destination set? there is a destination, but only in apple maps, so really can't work out why I still get arrows on the dash as not using the VW sat nav. Dealer told me ,that's how it works wi...

Hi all, so trying the different driving modes at moment, Thought I would try the paddles. Is there a mode i need to switch to keep in manual mode at all? I have just been using the paddles when in drive, and I get the manual mode it does seem to drop back into drive on its own very easily. Probably ...

Managed to turn the map off, but still get direction arrows on dash,is there a setting for that?,not even using car nav system,using Apple Maps

If your VW sat nav is set to show between the dials, it always comes up when the car is first switched on. Drives me potty so I just leave the car sat nav set to the touchscreen. Doesn’t pop up then between my dials unless I change it. You also have matrix leds. Having used them myself, they dim th...

Hi all, not sure if it is a setting, but had my gti a couple of days and can't work this out. When I use my apple car play and use the navigation on it I get the following. I set my route and soon as I start, the car sat nav appears on the dashboard between dials, regardless of what I have selected ...

Worked it out , found it under users,everything activated apart from scheduling,days blocked and info call deactivated,must be issue with my account as was same as golf eight
