GTi - RPM Hang ?

Hi, Last few months, every now and then I am having an issue where the RPM's shoot up to redline when my foot is off the clutch and I am pressing accelerator. The car does not pick up speed and if I change up a gear to try and bring them down it does nothing, it sticks to redline. It's happening whe...

Bluetooth - No Sound?

Has anyone else had issues with their Bluetooth playing music from an iPhone?

Mine has stopped all sound tonight. Did a factory reset but no change. The Mrs was trying to play Justin Bieber...not sure if that could be it? :lol:

My GTi after 6k miles...

I thought I'd pop on and give a quick review on my GTi after the first 6k miles. I only drive 50miles a day to and from work, some good country roads and this thing really make them enjoyable. I had an Abarth 500 before and whilst the exhaust note was better on that, as for the performance of the GT...

Re: New GTI

Does seem to be huge variations in order/delivery time! The reality is though i'm not particularly interested in freebies or discounts or whatever they have to offer as an apology, I want my new car! Thats understandable…you ain't going to get jack by just moaning on here though dude…you need to be...

Re: New GTI

Wow…some mega delays!!! I ordered mine early April and got it last week. I think the wait time had just gone from 15 weeks to 12 weeks…mine ended up arriving in just under 11 weeks I believe. Spec = 5 door. Manual. White. Sunroof and armrest. For those who are experiencing delays, I'd definitely kic...

Re: New GTI

To be fair…I used to drive my Abarth like hell daily…as it just wasn't comfortable EVER…whereas the Polo is comfortable and I feel I can cruise in it more…open it up from time to time. Looking forward to the autobahn next month :D !!!

Re: New GTI

running in for me is waiting until the oil is up to temp and give it beans in a few different gears. Yeah I always wait for oil temp…I had a good run home tonight getting 44mpg…noticed not to take note of the gear shift indicator as 6th gear at 50mpg proved less economical. Either way…I'm happy wit...

Re: New GTI

Almost run mine in now, no problems to report so far. I've noticed that when you turn the engine off what sounds like a whirring noise behind the centre of the dashboard keeps running for a while. It's not any of the main cooling fans at the front of the engine bay. It sounds like it's coming from ...

Re: New GTI

Finally got my build week now w/c 3rd of August! :P Anyone give me a rough idea how long after the build week it'll likely to arrive in the UK? The years free insurance - can you protect your no claims bonus on the policy? It said it would take 4 weeks to build from my build week confirmation...I b...

Re: New GTI

http://i60.tinypic.com/nx9t3d.jpg Here he is…nicknamed Axel. Have to say, I was a bit sceptical how I'd like the GTi in 5-door + how it would sound compared to my Abarth. The sunroof and black trim on spoiler really help break up the whiteness of the car though…back door windows blacked out make it...

Re: New GTI

Bugger lol I was hoping it would be a rare colour lol To be honest, I think the colour choices are quite limited for Polo. Only reason I went white as they said they'd throw in the sunroof free of charge and with that, it breaks up the "whiteness" of the car. Kind of wished I'd added in t...

Re: New GTI

I've had an Abarth 500 for the last two years and whilst it's an amazing drive…puts a smile on my face and sounds amazing…there is times where the fuel consumption, size and hard ride do get a bit tedious. It also tends to attract a lot of boy racers who want to sit next to me revving away. :lol:

Re: New GTI

https://youtu.be/w4pzKCnJRyc Good real world review here folks for all us waiting Just watched that. Nice review…he summed up about the comparison with the ST nicely at the end, that day to day living, the GTi is better. The amount of drivel I've had sent to me on YouTube from "ST Fans" t...

Re: New GTI

Very jealous of all these new GTI's everyone is receiving! Hopefully get my build date within the next few weeks as ordered mid May. Looking forward to putting my 75HP 1.0 UP! to the side :P I saw mine last night…sorted the last paperwork and free insurance whilst at dealership…ready for collection...
