Re: Windscreen Mould

Bit of a thread revive here.

One year on from my new windscreen and this one now too is starting to delaminate in the same way.

Car is in for its service next month so will again bring this up with VW..

2016 1.4 TDi MPG

Hi all, I've had my 1.4 TDi since new in 2016 and have covered 26,000 miles and have always been able to get great MPG. I could get 65MPG without really trying. My commute to work would be anywhere from 70-80MPG and home would be 75-80MPG. A poor commute or one with an active DPF regen would net me ...

PCP Voluntary Termination

Hi all, My PCP ownership has been rocky and has so far cost me 4 years in NCB (Not entirely my fault, long story!) but again the car has been damaged when parked. I'm fed up and am looking to return the car as soon as I can. I'm on a 4 year agreement and my 2nd anniversary will be March so I underst...

2016 1.4 TDi - Jerky 1st Gear

Hi all, I bought my 1.4 TDi new in March 2016 and have covered almost 20,000 miles... but the one thing I cannot master is pulling away smoothly in 1st gear. I've driven plenty of courtesy cars over the past 18 months and had no issues. No previous car I've had has given me this much trouble pulling...

Windscreen Washer Jet

HI guys,

Not long had my car back from repair. My driver side washer isn't spraying the windscreen, it's aiming a bit low.

Are they adjustable at all?

Re: Car dented in car park

Wow, that's horrendous! How hard did they bash it? Hope you go their reg info.

I can't advise too much, but as this is on a crease line, it might not be good news.

Re: Polo R Line 1.0Tsi - MPG

That doesn't sound too far off. Don't be fooled by quoted MPG figures. Manufacturers test under ideal conditions.

With my 2016 1.4 TDi I have to drive very carefully to maintain 75MPG+. Manufacturer's quoted 83-90MPG or so.

Re: Oops

The car has been collected for repair.

Annoyingly the guy loading the car onto the recovery truck took no care and drove the car forward and it hit the loading ramps. Bottom the bumper is chipped and scuffed.
Just another thing for them to rectify :x :x :shock: :roll:
