Polo Tips and Tricks

Post by Vena_GTi »

Does anyone have any tips or tricks that they have found that work on their cars???

for example:

Using Climatronic...Hold fan down, and hit the cold Button and ECON at the same time, then use hot and cold to switch between the diagnostic modes, navigate up to Ch. 16 which will be your actual speed

There is the one with putting the key in the door lock.

If you turn it to unlock, then hold it there, it should drop the front windows.

Do the reverse and turn it to the lock position and hold it, and it'll put them back up.

Useful on a hot summers day.

come to think of it, i was reading my book on the car, and it said something about if you hold the lock or unlock button on the key ( i cant remember which 1 ) for 10 seconds or so it drops the windows

but i tried it and it didnt work. strange

Doing it in the lock works to open/close the windows, but holding the buttons on the r/c doesn't - it would be so cool if it did.
