Re: Had car 10 days, first warranty claim to start

That looks like an abrasion to me.

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

Re: Had car 10 days, first warranty claim to start

That's difficult to assess without seeing more of the seat. I ask because the first thought that comes to mind is some wear from your body entering or exiting the seat. Our Fabia's driver side bolster is like a really worn version of the picture above at only 22k miles, and its cause is the front se...

Re: am i using manual mode wrong ?

It depends on the DSG setup. I don't have my Polo yet, but suspect it's the same DQ200 DSG as my current Fabia where you can't do much to over-ride the tendency for it to go back to auto mode. On something like my old Audi S3s, you push the shift lever across to the left to keep the car in manual mo...

Re: Intro - and new Polo on the way

I cleaned up our current Fabia last week. It's a simple car, doing the job well and kept in the same condition as all my vehicles.

No doubt the options add to that, but I'm in no hurry. My gurgling RS3 gives me more than enough horses when needed, so even though the current Fabia is ...

Intro - and new Polo on the way

Hi everyone :) I found this forum a few months ago via Pistonheads and, ultimately, it's what led me to press the button on a Life spec Polo today. The new Polo will be run alongside a semi-retied VW Transporter camper and custom spec Audi RS3, which are respectively nearly 10 and 7 years old. The b...
