Re: Fuel consumption
Does the engine stay running while coasting??, if so wonder how much saving is achieved vs the normal where the fuel injection ceases from > than ~ 1600rpm down to ~ 1000rpm, (with accelerator released) Engine just drops back to "tick over" when it coasts. Probably doesn't make a HUGE dif...

Re: USB-C Added
I rarely have rear passengers for any decent length of time to warrant doing that..i have a 4 way multi USB connector with voltage read out in the front accessory socket which does me. I'd really like the console though.. That would be useful... but not looked into doing anything with that idea.. T...

Re: Fuel consumption
In the 40 months I’ve owned my GTI+, I’ve never used Eco mode so haven’t experienced the coasting function. From what I’ve read on other forums, Eco mode also; dulls the throttle response, requiring the accelerator pedal to be pressed harder to get up to cruising speed and for manoeuvres such as ove...

Re: Demisting
There are no silly questions or wasting time posts, Pete I don't have a button to press on my Polo..i have to turn the joystick 180 degrees to turn on the heaters. Often forget that too😂 My polo is the same but my favourite trick is to leave it on….. I left them on for nearly 21 years on a Bora, st...

Re: Bonnet to grille panel gap… how to adjust?
Just a thought based on my own experiences - is the driver’s side bonnet catch fully engaging when you close the bonnet? On a recent occasion when I closed the bonnet after checking under-bonnet fluid levels, only the passenger side catch fully engaged and it looked similar to yours. I lifted the bo...

Re: Any one ordered the new facelift GTI?
Wondering how happy you are with the build quality of your GTIs. Just dropped my car to the garage - I've had a humming noise coming from the rear end when the car would exceed 50 MPH. VW technician said that it was due to a faulty wheel bearing - on 8000 miles? The car also has several squeaks and...

Re: 2019 Polo GTI - buying advice
@vwj82; welcome to the forum. Like @PoloGTInoob, I also have a 2020 Polo GTI+ and I find the firm(ish) ride is fine, but then the majority of previous cars I’ve owned have been warm or hot hatches so the suspension set up has been biased towards good handling rather than a soft ride. In my GTI+ I us...

Re: Tyre pressure warning(?)
You’re correct - the Polo has an indirect tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that uses the ABS sensors to measure differences in rotational speed of the wheels, so if one tyre has a lower pressure than the other three, then the wheel that tyre is fitted to will rotate at a different speed to the...

Re: Travel Assist currently unavailable
Some other forum members have had this issue - see discussion thread at the link below; https://www.uk-polos.net/viewtopic.php?t=78080 There’s been some mk8 Golf owners who have had the steering wheel fix and it hasn’t been entirely successful. A few forum members on Golf forums have had a second re...

Re: 2022/2023 Gloss Red Dash Inserts
Agree on the red dash inserts. My GTi+ is a 2020 pre-facelift car and I ordered it with grey dash inserts rather than have the standard satin finish velvet red dash inserts that the pre-facelift GTI had. @Biffco; I agree with @brainbow about finding a car with the spec you want - or as close to your...

Re: Advice after hitting pothole that was not visible.
With the state of the UK’s roads, your experience is unfortunately becoming more and more common. It would be worth getting your wheel alignment checked and suspension checked for potential damage, your wheels checked for buckling and the inner wall of your tyres checked for damage. As for the potho...

Re: New member looking for mpg advice
FWIW On a good run i can manage 45MPG in my 2.0 GTI lol. WIth urban driving its closer to 30-35MPG. Yeah the figures I’m getting are from what I’d call urban driving mostly. Villages, towns, short journeys etc. How does your normal mix of driving between short and longer journeys compare to your wi...

Re: New GTI + delivery
I'm not convinced that our 2019 GPF GTI+ will get as eager as my 2018 non-GPF variant is as it approaches 1 year old and 8k miles just passed. The difference between the 2 cars is substantial. Do the official figures suggest the old car is substantially faster? You may not get a reply; forum member...
