I think I'm picking mine up Monday now. Think I'll make a point of prodding that button first!

I've done 1600 miles so this is probably the 5th or 6th time I've used it might be worth a try though
Only picked it back up on Tuesday for warranty work, could've done it earlier Shell is right next to VW as well but I was on my break so didn't have time to pop in

I'm going to pick up my Polo soon. It's been at VW since monday to fix a few things:
-noise on the steering rack, sounded like something loose.
-right front brake would screech at low speeds, specially under full lock.
-multimedia system crashes randomly, freezing at the GTI screen and no sound would come out. They told me they weren't able to replicate it so I should record a video next time it happens.
-excessive wind noise coming from the upper door frames over 50mph on anything but the smoothest tarmac. Does anyone else get this?? This car at 180kph is noisier than my old Grande Punto

Jeez, that's not good mate. Hope it gets sorted ASAP, sure we've driven past one another three or four times in the last couple of weeks.

Tracker and dealer confirmed my car is being built next week (I'm stage 3). Dealer said should be end of April or start of May delivery. Does that seem quite a long time if built next week or is that about right?

Yeah that seems like ages! My build week is next week too w/c 22nd. I'm hoping to be driving it by the end of March.

I guess we will see whose gets here first then! I heard it takes a month from built to the dealership so I thought my dealer was being over cautios but we will see.

Think end of March might be tight but I be glad if your right. What spec is yours?

Is yours silk blue? If so we have!

Repairer has picked it up already so shouldn't be too long before I get it back hopefully. Got a Golf TDI til then.

I had a noise coming from the horn/airbag that sounded like a loose connector.

I'm still getting problems with the stereo.

I get the wind noise on the drivers door. I keep checking to see if the window is fully closed.

Well they fixed my steering noise and brake noise.
They said they tuned the doors but I still get buffeting over bumps. Maybe it's design but I'm not used to it...

What problems are you having with the stereo? Mine freezes at the GTI screen but it's only happened twice.

What noise are the doors making over bumps, a creaking sound?

Same colour and number of doors as me then except I've gone for DSG. Be interesting to see if they arrive same time being the same build week.

I did have a Fiesta ST but sold it so while I'm waiting for the GTI I'm driving my girlfriends Ka that's a 1.2. The Polo is gonna feel a lot faster when it finally comes!

I get a slight creaking sound (from chassis torsion I assume) when I go over big inclines like exiting my buildings garage. But I wasn't talking about those.
The noise I'm talking about is a buffeting sound coming from the upper window sills on both doors. Maybe I'm just not used to a 3 door car with such heavy doors but my old punto dis no creaking sounds in my garage nor buffeting doors. I also have a '72 Alfa Romeo that has none of these issues.
VW said they 'tuned' the door mounts but I don't notice much difference.
I'm just glad to have my little beast back! 5 days with a 1.2 ibiza with 68bhp and I was pulling my hair xD
