Re: Start stop on a blueGT

This is not my experience. I have found that stop start works well most of the time except when the battery is under heavy load ie air conditioning on low on a warm day or when heated seats, lights and heated screen are all running.

I'd be tempted to get the dealer to have a look.

Re: Polo Blue GT

I went on a 70 mile round trip today in my BlueGT and as I had plenty of time decided to go for the economy just to see what I could squeeze out. With just me and my 12 year old son on board and a couple of sports bags I managed 60.6 mpg for the round trip. This did include a small part of the journ...

Re: Polo Blue GT

Polo's have never had Auto lights out of the factory (always a retro fit)....mores the pity. I agree with you. I really do miss the auto lights. If there was one feature I would change about the BlueGT this would be it. How much does it cost to do auto lights as a retrofit? This would be the full j...

Re: Dodgy Fuel

I have tried super unleaded and quite frankly it's all hype. I achieved about 1 to 2 mpg improvement and could not tell any difference in performance.

After 5 tanks of super I've switched back to the standard stuff

Re: RCD510 / MDI Query

I use a 32gb USB device with my mdi and the works without issue. I have 3 32gb devices which most of my music is stored on. I would be reluctant to use anything larger as scrolling through the menu is a handful enough at 32gb IMO.

Re: Mk8 Mats, Seat Covers Etc

I bought my mats from carmatswarehouse on eBay. You can order any colour combination you wish at £39.99. They are good quality and fit perfectly.

Re: Polo Blue GT

still can't believe how few i have seen on the road I've seen none and I've been on the M6 daily, M1, A1M and M25 in the last few months and nothing. Plenty of normal Bluemotion Polos, but no GT badges. I've only ever seen two and they were at the dealerships! I recently drove from the South upto I...

Re: Polo Blue GT

Hi, New member here - put down a deposit for a blue, blueGT on Friday which apparently is already in build in the factory. Been told roughly 4-5 weeks at the moment (the spec of the car was already fixed). I'm coming from a Peugeot 207 Gti, so used to not seeing many of what I drive on the roads! M...

Re: Polo Blue GT

I have seen one other GT, apart from at the dealership, which was Black. It would be interesting to know how many BlueGTs Volkswagen have sold in the UK.

Re: Green Polo Anyone?

I had a bright yellow Seat Ibiza Sport. Personal taste I know but I never lost it in a crowded car park.

Shark Fin Aerial

I would like to change my standard aerial to a colour coded shark fin. I note there are some for sale on eBay but all state AM/FM with no mention of DAB.

Will this still work or do I need something specific for DAB FM AM?
