UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

@ SRGTD I agree totally, I thought a cable wasn't a hardship and already had a cable (cheap Amazon one - lined up) but then found out I got a VW branded one with right angle too. Result! I thought spare wheel was better use of £105 approx as compared to wireless charging. I had also read the other f...

@ POLO Clive Many thanks for identifying it and interesting its for new windscreens. I'll take a look to see if My screen looks original.

Bit bad for it to be left in engine bay but really glad I opened bonnet to give it a quick wipe and found this.

Hi @ AnnieGTI Sounds like a good spec, think the others on here will agree. I've had mine a few weeks and put a few photos up in the Photo Gallery. I went a little more standard :) There does seem to be quite a few Polo GTIs coming through from the factory now. I'm enjoying being back in a smaller c...

Thanks @lancslad1985 & @ S_94 Looks really good and in the sunshine. @ SRGTD you mentioned the metallic flake would look good in the sunlight.

Now to take it for a drive.

Hi Guys Wondered if you can help. I washed the car today and for only second time I had the bonnet open to do a little cleaning around the edge of bay and lights. I was wiping over the air intake section at front and something moved. it turned out to be a rubber triangle. No sign of where it might h...

I was meaning to come on and ask about the keys as I thought they had changed. I had a Golf at start of year and rembembered the key came out at a sideways angle. Thanks @ dark_cze for explaining the differences. So I bought the VW "GTI" silicon case as well as a another non branded sleeve...

Here are a couple of my car following a wash this afternoon.

Its weird but I always feel like a car is really mine once I washed the car down. You definitely get to see the build and quality when you wash the car.

Happy with car and up to 400miles now.

Well the car is done after a five hour detail. Only issues seen after collection were the tiniest Nick in the plastic near the dsg selector (talking really tiny) and the WeConnect is playing up. Looks mint though and really pleased with my colour choice. @lancslad1985 Car looks amazing, really nice...

@johnpolo2 oh my goodness, talk about slow boat from SA. I thought you would have had it at start of month we the others were coming in. Not long now then if its made it to Emden @lancslad1985 Thanks, I thought there might be a simple tick/untick option buried in the manual, but not a problem that i...

Evening all Thank you for your well wishes and congratulations. Likewise to those now with their Polos , hope you are having a great time and enjoying them (@lancslad85) and good luck with your pickup (@MikeDO) Well I’ve done 140miles today and still enjoying myself. Also I sorted out the trim mysel...

Hi All Here are a few pictures from Friday Not sure which order the photos will appear so: Engine cover in place I got the GTI siicone cover for the key from VW, but if you go onto Amazon you can get two similar covers for price of 1 x VW cover but without the GTI Logo Standard Key with black top bo...

PS sorry missed off the two most important items:

1) yes I have an engine cover (picture to follo)
2) keys are just plain black and do not have a chrome bit at the bottom with little GTI logo. ( I had already made previous arrangements so will do key photo(s) as well

Thanks
Andy

Evening All To continue the theme, Collected my wrapped but very dirty car today. The garage had loads of Polo GTIs getting ready for new owners. (And even a Golf R) Peeled off wrapping and all good. Rest of paintwork and wheels look fine too. But car had been sat outside and near trees so plenty of...

Reading Forums you tend to pick up on certain similar treads/actions. One of these common threads is always, never let the dealer clean you car. Nuneaton are Listers and I am surprised they are making an issue. I think many dealerships selling "performance" orientated cars are used to owne...

Just had an Email from the dealer saying that my car has arrived in the UK. Pretty sure it came in last Saturday morning. So not long now. Nice to have some +ve news at the moment smile Brilliant news, glad your car has arrived. Looks like this forum thread will be pretty quiet for next week as we ...
