GTI+ Stolen, Recovered, Manhandled by Insurer's Garage - Need a VW Garage

[MilgeS]

Can someone out there confirm if a Disclok anti theft device will fit on a Polo GTI ? Do the flappy paddle gear levers prevent fitment?

One (admittedly cheeky) way to be sure would be to visit a store which stocks these devices and ask someone to help you ensure it fits. If it DOES fit ok, but it works out cheaper elsewhere you could always say "it's perfectly ok, but sorry my partner / significant other / whoever would never be able to use this on their own, but thanks anyway", then order elsewhere if cheaper. Did say it was cheeky....

Yes small disklok will fit.
Had one on mk7gti dsg and polo blue gt all have same wheels fits fine. Just get the cover with it to fit the wheel before you fit the lock just to prevent any accidental marking when fitting and removing it.

I think that I know what you mean, but maybe some other people did not!

sorry my english is not good ... but I meant that if user dont have space saver spare wheel in trunk than disklok might fit nicely and will not take any space anywhere else

OP here...

The moment of truth is upon us....

After 8 months of the Polo being in one garage or another, we finally pick it up tomorrow.

Must be some kind of record, we've had 4 different courtesy cars the whole time.

I think Fleetline are going to do us right, fingers crossed.

Good luck mate, been following your thread. Please update how it goes

Blinking Heck, there is a big loan car bill heading some one's way.

Picked up yet?
Hope it's back to how you remember it.

Hi, Picked it up last week!

Everything was perfect, bar one interior door handle they forgot to replace.
This has just come in and we drive it around this weekend for them to snap that in.

Everything looks great, and we even got full detailing on the car due to all the paint work that had to be done, so no swirls which the original car had (probably due to some over eager car washer at the dealer).
It does feel like we got our new car back. Phew. Full credit to Fleetline. They also just won British Bodyshop Award 2019 - no slouches!

One wrinkle is the App Connect has been de-activated due to all the interactive dash replacement malarky by VW techs.
The insurance just said to take it to any VW dealer to activate and send them the invoice.

When I can connect my phone again, then we're done!!!
