Re: Colour

TBH I would probably go for the red. It kind of feels traditional for a GTI. second choice white. in any other grade Polo I think the Blue looks good

Re: 18 plate polo with no problems to date!

That fun is why you get the GTI. pleased your loving it. No point in having the GTI and doing the speeds I do..lol :D

Do you think there is more power to squeeze out of the 2.0l TSI? and if so will it be possible to get that extra power down to the road?

Re: 18 plate polo with no problems to date!

It may be too early to tell whether the 2019 examples are better built. I wasn't aware of any issues on mine until the car was 7 months old. So far our 2019 GTI+ is fault free, but others here have reported tailgate issues on their brand new 2019 examples that my 2018 one had (needing a bit of a sl...

Re: 18 plate polo with no problems to date!

I'll owned my 2018 Polo GTI+ a year next week. The only two issues were minor trim issues with a plastic clicky sound coming from the glove box lid, and a buzz from the passenger door at certain frequencies when playing music. Both fixed under Warranty. I'm otherwise super happy with my fault free ...

Re: 18 plate polo with no problems to date!

Back to the original point of the post. just over a year on. How are new owners finding their Polos quality and problem wise? are the 2019 deliveries better screwed together? has the South African assembly lines improved? or were they OK anyway. Some may remember that I have had only one problem wit...

Re: 18 plate polo with no problems to date!

No one that is in their right mind would admit, in writing on a public forum, to doing more than 70MPH on public roads in the UK. So you being an intelligent guy and not prone to simply making points I assume your reference to 80-90MPH is in Germany on a free autobahn :D. I found over the past year ...

Re: 18 plate polo with no problems to date!

Ha on a duel carriageway or motorway anyone sitting behind me at 60MPH must be doing so out of choice otherwise they would effect a standard manoeuvre called "overtaking". I am not 100% sure anyone actually gets the figures you quoted for the GTI, I would like to hear from someone who actu...

Re: Random question for people who have Kessy (keyless entry) on their Polo

Is it possible to disable only the Keyless Entry part? Leaving the push to start keyless. Yes, if you have OBDEleven or Carista you can tell it that it doesn't have the modules for keyless entry, so you have to use the buttons on the remote, but the start button still works as normal, Thank you for...

Is there a perminent Stop start fix yet?

Hi all Been a while, I hate the stop start system, obviously I can switch Stop start off every time I start the car or change driver mode...which I do. Obviously the cars system is Auto start stop ON by default on start up. Following research it seems this system is never going to save enough fuel t...
