UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Hi , I am interested in this topic, I have a 2020 VW Polo R-Line that has an intermittent issue with the clutch pedal going spongey. I am wondering if anyone else has seen that issue? I tried to raise a new thread but I don't seem to have the correct access to do so. I'd hazard a guess that you wou...

That seems to have been a bit annoying, I don't think that anyone would have expected that from Febi, maybe some funky Feeby lookie likie stuff being sold around the world! Just one comment, ALL the bolts associated with that rear/top gearbox mounting are "torqued to yield" so should not b...

Many years ago, my older daughter bought a used SEAT Ibiza from "uncle arnie's car emporium" - the maybe "all car brands" outlet down from Edinburgh Audi - near the tram lines. I made sure that the crap tyres were removed and replaced with Michelins from Costco, but before doing ...

Exactly, something has gone wrong, get it looked at ASAP, adding fluid has not fixed it properly.

Is this feature, ie auto locking, not just, on balance, a positive addition to driver/passenger safety - I know that everyone has the right to think otherwise, I have always made the point to enable this feature on cars that came to UK that did not have that feature enabled, or in later models, that...

Another reason for this is that it could have had a front hub bearing replaced (bearing is part of hub), and not seated correctly, or it has "walked out" of the hub - which means in reality that the bearing stays in place but the hub moves out slightly. These, and most VW Group cars, just ...

Just another comment, where in the past you could press the accelerator to increase the alternator voltage, now, especially if you fully charged that new AGM before fitting it to your car, the charging system will not supply any more charge into that battery until the BMS considers that it needs it....

I would have expected the charging to be "spot on" as soon as you started it after replacing the battery, ie within seconds. For some reason, maybe to monitor charging behaviour on cars with smart charging/regenerative braking, I bought a cheap digital volt meter that plugs into the 12V po...

Sounds like being an issue with the alternator, changing battery type, size(capacity) and technology from EFB to AGM should not have changed anything, even if left as it was initially for a short time - okay letting the BMS know that the battery had been replaced and coding in the one is desirable l...

Does it smell like something is burning?

Or, if you can't be bothered setting up an account with Erwin, just buy the same thing from www.easymanuals.co.uk - I bought one years ago for a 2015 VW Polo 6C and my 2011 Audi S4 - they are very very useful to have! Edit:- they are just copies of the manuals taken from Erwin at a point in time, so...

I agree on the issue with reusing "torque to yield fasteners", I've used a good VAG Indie a few times, and while I've supplied new fasteners where "replace" was mandated by VAG, that place did not use many of my supplied new VAG fasteners, which was annoying, currently I've got a...

I have read that in "hot countries" especially in summer, there can be an issue like this, and it is caused by the EVAP solenoid, replacing that seems to clear this issue even where no fault codes have been logged. It is this engine that there have been reports of this issue, mainly on SEA...

I'm afraid there isn't, but, I found that Autodoc sell a Febi kit which has 2 bump stops and 2 gaitors. I've owned and run Polo and Ibiza since 2002 and know from bitter experience that the road springs will break if you own a car from new, for say 10 years, happened to the front driver's side sprin...

One thing about doing a "basic settings" procedure on the TB assembly, I think that if illogical voltage values are recorded, then the end result would be " failure" and so old values would be retained and used. I'm sure, as well, that at every hot switch off, the TB valve is mov...
