The company I used is gb vehicle leasing. Spec as matched as expected.
10,000 miles a year, 2 year contract.
Do you mind me asking how much it cost (initial payment and monthly)?

Re: Tyre wear

Thanks for all the replies.
I’ll get the tracking / alignment checked when I change the tyres.

Re: Tyre wear

what is the size you're using of both the tyres and the rims and what pressure are you using? Standard tyres 215/40 17 (6C GTI) 39 psi front 35 psi rear As per instructions. As long as it’s not something wrong with the car I’m happy enough to have got 13000 out of the tyres. Wanted to check it wasn...

Tyre wear

Hi, Just wondering if anyone else has experienced the same issue. I’ve noticed that my front tyres are wearing more on the inside quarter of both tyres. I check the pressures and make sure they’re correct on a weekly basis. I have the standard Bridgestones on the car (which have lasted 13000 miles t...

Re: TDI Tuning Box For GTI

Another option would be superchips bluefin as they recently released it for the 6c GTI. Can be returned to original settings if/when needed. I'm using my car less lately and very rarely get the opportunity to open her up hence why I can't justify the £500 outlay! If I was going to I would prob go bl...

Re: TDI Tuning Box For GTI

Ran one on a seat Ibiza TDi for 2 years and also on a Peugeot 208 GTI for 18 months.

Never had a problem with those 2 and definitely decent performance gains. Can only assume it would be the same with the Polo.

Re: Superchips Bluefin VW polo 6C

Let me know how it is once you've installed it as I would seriously consider getting one if the reports are good.

Re: New speeding fines

I was offered the awareness course.
Suprised but happy to do that before the points!

Re: New speeding fines

It was just the NIP to confirm you were the driver and that you accept/dispute the offence.
Have sent it back. Hopefully it will be a FPN and the minimum fine/points as opposed to court.

New speeding fines

I have no points so gutted with this but the law is the law! My question is regarding the new speeding fines that have recently come in. I...

Re: 2016 Polo GTi air conditioning

Yep
Me too!
I've had new Fabia, Ibiza and Polo's in the last 5 years and all have been atrocious when it comes to condensation inside as well as de-misting. Think it's a common problem with Vw brand.

Re: Help - Problems with USB and Bluetooth streaming

Thanks, I've tried that just to be sure but it still has no sound. The touch screen (in media) shows all the track info with the timer running but no sound. Tried pausing and play as well as mute/un-mute and changing volume but no joy. Car is due for first service in March so I will prob put up with...

Help - Problems with USB and Bluetooth streaming

Hi, Just wondering if anyone has experience of the following. I have a 2016 Polo GTI. Since new have had issue with playing music through USB cable (official I phone cable) where the track 'jumps' every 20 seconds or so. This hasn't been a major problem as I've used Bluetooth streaming which doesn't...

Re: My Polo Sedan!

Fair play that is a stunning looking car. Wish we could get a sedan/saloon version of the Polo here having seen yours!
That is going to be a flying machine once the engine has been swapped! Surprised the 3.6 will fit in the Polo.
Good effort.
Can you get the GTI in sedan form there too?
