Re: 6R GTI 1.4 Oil Usage Poll
I was told by the dealer that they are oil injectors. I'm not too clued up on the parts of an engine down to the little details such as injectors but I did think to myself did they mean fuel injectors.. Either way, they fitted these new parts and 819mi in, 1litre used and I took the car back in. The...

Re: 6R GTI 1.4 Oil Usage Poll
I'm getting rather fed up of it now. Mines a 63 plate with the newer engine. For the first 12,000mi I was topping up a litre every 800-1200 miles. I did keep a record but when it was in for its first service, a notice popped up notifying the dealer that new oil injectors had been designed and I coul...

Re: 2013 Polo GTI RCD310 MDI Issues
Just in case any one else is interested, I think it's fixed. It's been working fine for the past week and a half any way.
I took out all the individual music files from their Artist and Album folders and placed them all in the same location on the stick.

Re: 2013 Polo GTI RCD310 MDI Issues
I'll have a try later when I'm home. I do get the feeling that if I did, it'll just do the same and eventually not work, almost like staying plugged in does something to the formatting.

2013 Polo GTI RCD310 MDI Issues
Hi all, I'm having issues with USB input on my RCD310 system. I've loaded my iTunes library onto a USB stick, it's formatted in FAT32 and it's worked great for a few days but all of a sudden the drive isn't recognised and simply displays a "not connected" message on the head unit when I tr...

Re: Is the Polo GT much more economical than the GTI?
Well I'll see what this tank gives me, used Tesco Super (recommended by a few friends), hopefully it'll return enough to warrant the extra cost per litre. God I've become a real tight arse with this car haha.

Re: Is the Polo GT much more economical than the GTI?
Wow, you guys seem lucky or I'm doing something wrong... I've only ever managed 40mpg twice and that was motorway miles sticking under 70 with a bit of traffic (around 13mi trip). Most of the time I'm doing around 36. To be honest the MPG figure is a bit rubbish anyway, I can return 25mpg vs 35mpg g...

Re: New car - Polo GTI
Welcome to the club, don't mean to sound big headed but it really is nice knowing there's not many of your car around! I've seen about 4 or 5 in the past few years!

Re: Polo on Austin 17" Wheels - This needs to be done!!
Wow, that's pretty much what I was thinking.
Wish I had that cash spare, would love to chuck them on and see how they look.

DSG Noises? When parking...
Hi all, I took delivery of a new GTI a few weeks back and I'm finding the car to be noisy when parking up and going inbetween Reverse and Drive. For example if I switch the car into Reverse, it makes quite an audible knocking noise when the car starts moving. And usually vice versa when going back i...

Re: New GTI, RCD310 & Bluetooth Questions....
Update... Managed to get audio working via Bluetooth. It basically needed a setting turning on in the menu of the touch screen device to enable it. A bit silly of me really for not checking, but there we go!

Re: New GTI, RCD310 & Bluetooth Questions....
Already have done! Loaded a little stick with my iTunes library and it works a dream on Mix All so for now I think it's good for now.
It was more of a general question as it seems silly to have what looks like a working option but it doesn't work!

Re: GTI Ordered! Any tips i.e. oil, plugs e.t.c?
Personally I think it looks lowered enough and to lower it let's say 10mm I don't think it's a justifiable cost? Even on my standard Polo S the front splitter did it's fair share of scraping!
I do however think around 10mm width on each wheel to fill out the arches better could look good though?

New GTI, RCD310 & Bluetooth Questions....
Hi all, just picked up my new GTI on Wednesday and have a few questions regarding the RCD310 and the Bluetooth system... So, my car has the basic RCD310 and has the Bury "TPKMusic" interface with the small touch screen. Works awesome with my phone for handsfree but the music option doesn't...
