UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Today i purchased my first V-DUB, my new Polo GTi





Heated Leathers, inc doorcards
Fair Price too tbh - 66K miles with no mods what so ever

Couple of issues tho guys and any help is appreciated

1)Not had Pedel Box done yet (dont think-how can I find out) and if not what do I do?

2)Drivers Side window not working - possible motor - had brand new motor including in sale but how easy to fit DIY??

3)On top of battery there are 3 wires (fuses?) held down with 3 10mm nuts. The connection has broken on the one nearest the front of the car. What is this for as nothing else has stopped working.

Thanks Guys for any help/advice

Looking forward to long and problem free relationship lol

(more pics to follow when rain stops!)

Oh and how bad are other peoples leather seats for creases??

7 yr old car and all but wondered if anyone has any advice on them

Nice car mate, nevermind the creases, your lucky to get leather seats! They're quite rare in polo gti's

1)Not had Pedel Box done yet (dont think-how can I find out) and if not what do I do?

There should either be a sticker under the carpet in the boot, next to the spare wheel stamped by the dealer, or a stamp in the service book. Those are the two most common ways it's shown.

Otherwise, any VW dealer should be able to tell you if you give them the registration number.

thanks mate

If not done - do I just book it in?? never had recall problem before.

Is it free?

Yeah you should be able to just book it in and get it done for free.

nice one - that was the only worry i had.now i can sit back with a phat smile lol

gong to have door card off and try to fix window tomorrow too.

Don't worry about the creases, just use some Mer leather cleaner and they come up like new

Well done mate, how you finding it so far?

Nice gti with the leather interior. I have seen your gti for sale in my area before.... Did you pick it up from Sheffield?

yep 170 mile round trip to pick her up

liking it so far - got to get used to the clutch and want to get it booked in for the pedal box to be done too

now its dry i have noticed a few more scratches (typical black car lol) you think a good pro PC polisher would get them out?

any idea on the fuse guys onto of battery?

thanx

Are you sure the pedal box hasn't been done?

Not sure what that bit means?

nice one mate, enjoy the v-dub bug

previous owner didnt even know there was a recall either

fuse on top of battery

I will get a pic later if this bit, probably easier lol
