UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Received confirmation, EU and Japan only.

Although built in SA, I doubt we will see it in our local showrooms because GTI's here still use the 147KW engine and 6 speed dsg from the pre-facelift model. Excuse given by VWSA as to why we did not receive the updated engine and gearbox was due to poor fuels. Hmm... also the limited number of uni...

I received an email yesterday from the salesperson I dealt with when I bought my current GTI+, inviting me to book an appointment to ‘assess my options’. VW currently have a Spring Sales Event, so I dare say the salesperson was attempting to entice me into ordering a new Polo GTI as I’ve had my car...

Hi all, New forum user and first post, got the 2022 GTI last July but just seen the forum. It's a bit of a first all round for me, first VW therefore first Polo but also first Auto. Had lots of cars but the last 2 were both Fiesta STs, probably not a popular view but the Fiesta always put a smile o...

Thanks for the feedback There's something the site doesn't like about my access. All PCs tablets and even my phone on data rather than my WiFi.. Don't get further than the captcha or colour choice.. If they even get that far. Mostly oooops try again I'm not sure if this was already covrered (tldr) ...

after a week of trying.. i finally got the gotcha tick box and then this Screenshot 2023-04-13 135300.png i'll keep trying but don't hold out much hope of getting this particular pdf.. I just tried a different engine for comparison but got same invalid or corrupted pdf message :shock: I've used thi...

The head of VWSA was interviewed recently to discuss VW in the local market but since Polo is built here, thought it may be of interest to some of you:

Hi LEEA123 I tend to replace mine annually (keyless). As for replacing it yourself, very staright forward. Here is a video clip showing you how to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_UBfkLCbu0&ab_channel=MyMateVINCE Even though its for an older model the key fob battery replacement is still the s...

Hi Polonut Not sure if I am able to assist but my experience is that the Michel PS 4 is much quiter than the Bridgestone's the car came with from factory. That said it may help to check out this YouTibe video on the topic: 225/40/18: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=176LXZFUucc&ab_channel=TyreRev...

Actually looks okay. Would be interesting to see if they do a GTi or 'sporty' version. Still prefer the UrbanRebel and looking forward to seeing more from that. According to VW there will be a GTI version of this model. https://www.topgear.com/car-news/hot-hatch/volkswagen-working-gtigtx-hot-hatch-...

I dont think this would arrive in our neck of the woods anytime soon but must agree, it looks good.

I am also an avid user of Google Maps and will not pay a vehicle manufacturer to gouge me for something I would never use anyway. On the topic of Google Maps and Waze, I do prefer the satellite mode (where one can see buildings and terrain) when using Google Maps which Waze doesnt seem to support. O...

Really? Ok, going to give that a try later this morning and see what happens.

I think VW being a large company is a bit more tolerable to passing through warranty claims, I had a minor engine leak which was detected just a week outside of the standard warranty, and VW Chelmsford said under gesture of goodwill they will cover the repair (it didn’t go in for that and I was not...

Just an update on this, the car went in today for a couple of warranty items. The seat as pictured above, and the rattle from sport sound at high revs. They have cured the sound rattle in sport mode, tried it and no more dash rattle. The seat they said would not be a warranty item, but vw is going ...
