Finally gave it a wash and it's looking beastly again
And a video of a few revs. The car doesn't go over 4000RPM when not in gear. Today I learned.

Re: New GTI
Gone in for the dash replacement today- got a povvo spec UP as a courtesy car
Re: New GTI
Grr looks like more delays. Been told by the dealer it would arrive 2nd week of april. Asked VW and they said its on its way from Santander to Emden so could be another 6-8 weeks. Seems a bit of a trek by rail across europe

Am new to this, so just ordered myself a polo Gti
Extras are
Centre armrest
Parking sensors front and back with rear camera
Convenience pack
Black pearlescent paint
Was so undecided about the sport button and the car net app anyone any bought some on these? I still have time to add them on if I change my mind lol
Sport Performance Kit with Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC)
Variable suspension settings, choice of 'Comfort' or 'Sport' for stiffer, sports suspension. Includes sportier; electromechanical steering, accelerator response and engine noise inside the car. For DSG derivatives, the 'Sport' setting allows the car to reach maximum torque levels for a sportier drive
Re: New GTI
After not seeing a fellow GTI owner where I live for 4 months today I see 3 in one journey. White 5dr, black 5dr and red 3dr in the Derby area, anyone on here?

But this is fairly meaningless, isn't it? You'll still have access to "maximum torque levels" whether the button is pressed or not, surely? I'd be pretty pissed off if I was a "non sport button' DSG owner otherwise. As I understand it, the DSG can't output more than it's maximum torque in any case, which is less than the manual, to protect the box.

Re: New GTI
Has anyone encountered the following problem? Since changing the clock to summertime it now randomly changes the hour forwards when switching the car ignition off. For a short period you see the clock before the internal light goes out and just before the clock fades it sometimes advances an hour all by itself (not when it's supposed to of course). If I leave the car for a few hours and then switch the ignition on, the clock has advanced by three hours. I've checked the settings to be at GMT and nothing appears to be sticking so assume it's a random fault. Minor but annoying. Any way of resetting the system?
Otherwise the car is still good and not a POS. I've owned lots of cars and it's one of the better ones.

I'm not too fussed on a few extra torques tbh. The polo is just a nippy Wee town car which is perfect for me. If I wanted power I'd be sitting in a golf R.

Re: New GTI
Subsequently found another thread on this issue. It's a software problem where if you tick the British summertime box on the menu to advance the hour this will lead the hour indicator to jump around on some cars. By unticking this box and advancing the hour manually this seems to solve the problem!rm55mcc wrote:Norfolk Boy wrote:Has anyone encountered the following problem?

I can totally relate to wanting to retrofit CarPlay, I wanted it straight after picking my bluegt up.andy_gdon wrote:I'd love to retro fit the carnet app. Do you have any details on how to do this?Timmsy wrote:I was too late to add the car net app but also looking to get it done at the dealership if my model of system supports it.
Finally got the VW order number out of the lease company today along with my registration number.
Still sitting in the uk port at the moment though but hopefully not long to wait.
To give you guys who have recently ordered a time frame I ordered mine on 29th Jan.
After some research and conversations with the local dealer, they can retrofit this for around £200, I have ordered this and it is due to be installed this coming Tuesday. If you want any pictures once it's been "activated" let me know and I will post some up.

Re: New GTI
Let me know how it goes! I'm really tempted to have it activated as soon as mine arrives.

Re: New GTI
So, can you retrofit Apple's CarPlay in the GTI? That would be sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet! Specially because I didn't get navigation
Re: New GTI
To my understanding, anyone with the MIB 2 media system can get it enabled, however I will clarify that on Tuesday and update.Shark00n wrote:So, can you retrofit Apple's CarPlay in the GTI? That would be sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet! Specially because I didn't get navigation
