[quote=MikeDO post_id=603241 time=<a href="tel:1707760473">1707760473</a> user_id=33962] Got to laugh at times, otherwise you would cry :lol: This morning I noticed that for no reason that I could fathom, I got logged in with a "Guest" profile and it had kindly switched the Clim...

I had my gti for 12500 miles in one year and didn’t have a complaint. No rattles or squeaks, just an infotainment that occasionally decided to reboot itself. My wife has an r line that’s 18 months old and had a United for two year before that. No issues with either. I think what people forget is it’...

I did ask them that and they said it’s because someone looking for a VW doesn’t generally go to a Mazda dealer. Not a bad price for the mileage.

If anyone wants a good condition run in gti mines at Perrys Preston

I do like Mazda’s CX30, and the styling of Mazda’s current model range. My next car may well be a non-VW, although I don’t change my car that often (usually every 4.5 - 5 years), so if VW - and the wider VAG - get their act together in the next couple of years and sort out the software issues that ...

Well it’s come time to say goodbye to my GTI. Realistically I knew I’d made a mistake switching back from the Tiguan a bit ago but my wife hadn’t quite reached that point. Well she did late October on a long trip up to Scotland when, 80 miles into the journey, she turned to me and said “you need to ...

I don't have a button to press on my Polo..i have to turn the joystick 180 degrees to turn on the heaters.

Often forget that too

My polo is the same but my favourite trick is to leave it on…..

Not found door mirror or rear screen demisting to be a problem on my 2020 GTI+. I find with the rear screen, it helps if the inside glass is really clean. With the door mirrors, the heating elements may struggle to clear ice but if they’re just steamed up, then they clear almost instantly. Mines sa...

Never heard of this issue, but if it needs to go back to the stealer can they not give you a courtesy and collect the car? My VW stealership does this.

I never knew about this, so thanks for letting me know. I always wondered how to get to updates that didn’t install first time.

If there are performance gains to be had from using higher octane fuel, with my driving being on mainly busy single carriageway A and B roads that are clogged up with other traffic at the times of day I’m out driving, I doubt I’d ever realise those gains. Not to mention that, from my experience, yo...

I’ve tried both extensively over my gti and my previous gti+ and even my wife’s 2016 gti. Yes it feels marginally more responsive but makes zero difference to my mpg. I’d rather keep my money and fire the odd tank of premium just to clean the injectors.

From what I’ve seen on other forums, switching off Lane Assist is a simple two step process that takes literally a few seconds (I can’t try it in my 2020 GTI+ as my car doesn’t have Lane Assist). This process works on the mk8 Golf so I’m assuming it also works for the facelift Polo GTI. press the b...

The way I look at it @SRGTD, I always push for a two - three year service plan and it’s gone before it gets past three years anyway. So I get it serviced yearly to get the free plan in then let the next person worry. However I am currently testing cars this weekend for a longer term change and servi...
