UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Yesterday, my GTi developed a squeeking from the steering. This is only on cold start. It seems as though the power steering pump is trying to pressurise. After a minute or so, it stops. One thing is, that when this noise is happening, turning the steering wheel makes the noise louder. Could it be t...

I've seen Apple and Lemon in Halfrauds - I want Pomegranate smell.

I use Halfrauds stuff... at Christmas they had a deal on: 3 for 2 - so I got 3 x 5 litre bottles for the price of 2 for £9.99 - see me thru winter and summer! I dilute about 60/40 in cold weather - it comes out green on the screen like pond water, but certainly clears the crap off the screen and do...

Well, the motor is not straining... it just seems to go down normally, but not all the way down. I reckon there's some code that got messed up when the battery went flat. I'll have to ask the VW techy's (hoho) when it goes in for a service.

You must have all lights working correctly by law. If one is a side light and shouldn't be, then they can give you a ticket for not having operational lights. I think you may even have an earth loop, perhaps something is earthing that shouldn't be? Maybe in the new lights? Anyway, it's worth getting...

You're got a wire crossed somewhere. This is the only reason this would glow.

Now I missed that button... wasn't all that obvious was it.

Hooray, no more interuptions to the music today

Thanks Guys. Sorted.

Hi, well now I have my windows automatically going up and down again, I noted that my passenger window goes all the way down, but my Drivers window goes down and stops with 3 inches of window still showing? Any ideas on getting the window all the way down as per the passenger side, or is this they w...

I was trying out the TP Set on the Radio yesterday. Now, it seems to have set the TP, but how do I turn TP off? The car manual is useless and says to "exit TP mode", but does not indicate what this is or how to turn off TP. Can anyone describe the steps or buttons to press please? I manage...

Is it a vibration noise... can you feel it through the car?

Yep, this worked a treat! Automatic settings restored. Let's hope my battery is not on it's way out. How long can a Polo GTi sit without starting before it runs down the battery? Anyone know? I left mine for only 1 week and it was flat, although the engine turned over, there was no t enough in to ma...

Exhaust? Perhaps you have a small hole in it somewhere... maybe near the manifold or perhaps in a join? Otherwise, could be air getting in the engine somewhere where it shouldn't - checked the hoses to the air filter etc?

I just wanted to wish everyone on the Polo GTi Forum a Very Happy Christmas and a Properous New Year

Many Thanks for all your help through 2004 as well.

Mine also did weird things previous, like stopping three inches from closed - not nice to lean your right arm on Now, can't even do that! Will try the passenger window top though - cheers

Since the low battery I got from leaving my GTi for one week... I noted that today, the windows are not working the same as they did prior to the battery going flat. :cry: The left window now goes up and down, but does not continue to go right down or up as it did before. It will only move if the bu...
