That is correct. There is no syncromesh for the reverse gear.

Hi all
I was wondering if anyone knows if i can remove the master electric window switch cluster without removing the door card. I need to replace one of the switches within it as it has lost its second click.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

There is a squareish cavity in the top of the fabrication behind the wheel hub that the bottom of the strut bolts to.
I have had a south serney stone from my drive find its way into here twice now. It gets trapped between the turning drive shaft and the fabrication making a sound like you describe ...

Hi
Mine does this too. Its strange but it is normal. There have been posts about this previously on this forum.
I think it still does this without the AC being on.

My 2018 AW has been as you describe since new. Definitely no water egress. I seem to have better sucess keeping the screen clear by NOT aiming the air at the screen.
I agree keeping it clean helps a lot.
When ever i get in the car on a cold or damp morning i put the control straight to feet and blow ...

This is no help to you but just for reference, ive had my polo from new in 2018 and have never experienced a single rattle or buzz. Good luck in identifying the cause.

I have exactly the same problem with the driver side window switch. It started when i picked the car up from it's last service. I assumed the vw trained technician must have been a bit heavy handed with it. I didnt bother complaining as i guessed they would never accept responsibility and just imply ...

Me too

Completely agree with Andy. I've had the brakes slam on at least 3 times for no reason.
I switch it off every time I get in the car.
As I'm always paying attention to what's in front of me I think it's more likely to cause an accident than prevent one.

I had a similar problem with my 2006 polo. Seemed to send a low knock through the steering wheel when turning into a junction especially with a slightly uneven road surface although not every time. I complained several times during the warranty period and (apparently) had the whole front suspension ...

Like SRGTD, I also had a problem just like you describe but on a non VW car I once owned. It also turned out to be the alarm backup battery at fault.

Hi Noonoo632
Just wondered if you found out the cause of the scraping noise?

Do you park on a gravel driveway by any chance? This sounds very similar to my experience which turned out to be a 30mm piece of gravel sat in a cavity in the top of the front wheel bearing housing. The bottom of the cavity is open and close to the top of the rotating hub so the stone was ...

Yes I just tried to access it and got the same message

My 1.0 tsi SE had a squeek when applying the brakes when reversing from new until about 10000 miles. It reduced from very loud to nothing during this period.
