Re: Intro for R-Line, question about CarPlay

If you have a mute button bottom left of screen then CarPlay is not compatible and cannot be added (unfortunately). I'm in same boat :cry:

The mute button is the giveaway as to version of head unit, and the ones with a mute button cannot have CarPlay applied

Re: New Front Wipers

I can agree with the effectiveness of GTech G1. My Polo glass is also coated with it. Not cheap, but it is long lasting.

Re: 110 TSI R Linepotential purchase

Purely down to styling. Different bumper on the R-Line. The reflectors are in the rear light assemblies. Nothing to do with the LED headlights and DRLs

Re: New owner of a polo blue gt.strange noise on cold start

Most likely camshaft to valve clearances. They get lubricated once the engine is running and tighten as the engine warms up, so will quiten down.

Re: Problem with the brand new Polo Match

Better to put some Xenon or blue/ish lights or to keep the standard R-line ones? I want both daytime and normal to be white. On the R-Line, the DRLs and headlights are all LED; only the foglights and kerb marker lights (the ones that come on when you are turning at low speed) are the old halogens Y...

Re: Problem with the brand new Polo Match

Careful; replacement exhaust is likely to affect the warranty

LED headlights are standard equipment on the R-Line

Re: Problem with the brand new Polo Match

Stay away from diesel; who knows what will happen to taxation on diesels down the line... My 1.2 is a pleasure to drive and doesn't require a lot of revving seeing as the turbo kicks in around 2000rpm. The 1.0 provides more power but may not be quite as smooth due to its 3 cylinders. The R-Line has ...

Re: Problem with the brand new Polo Match

Could the noise be coming from the DSG box?

I wouldn't mention that you can hear the noise in the loan car. That would be VW's cue to suggest that what you're hearing is normal and to dismiss any claim for a replacement.

Re: Polo Owners with Chrome Exhaust Tips; how sooty do your tips get?

Mine's protected with SiRamik HR, and gets a weekly wash. Not had a problem with carbon build up. I generally use the cheapest available Shell petrol.
