Re: Polo 1.5TSI EVO

Annoyingly, the new Audi A1 model is available with a 1.5 engine as well as the 2.0 (+ the 1.0 engine)

WindScreen wiper fouls bonnet ..!

I have a MY16 BlueGt. Not had it long :: When washing my car I like to raise the windscreen wipers off the screen. On this car, I cant raise the drivers side blade because the metal arm hits the bonnet (just where the blade hinges). Anybody else had this problem ; are they all like that ??

Re: Gti reappears on Configurator - manual G/box

Going slightly off GTI subject Does that mean a manual 1.5TSI "evo" 150ps R-line Polo might finally be available for 2019? rather the only 1.0TSI 115 (or 95ps) option before the nothing jump between in engines till the 200ps GTI? To quote myself ;) Post by albob » Wed Dec 19, 2018 11:18 p...

Possible to adjusting the auto lights sensor..?

I haven't had my BlueGt (66 plate) very long.
I find that, in 'auto' setting, my headlights are on during fairly good light conditions.
Is there a way to adjust for when they come one without using VCDS ??

thanks

Given that the Polo is made in S. Africa it shouldn't. I think there is a 10 percent tax on cars coming into the EU, so, in theory, cars may be cheaper!?
