UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

If I was having fun I’d floor it for a bit then settle for steady driving, so effectively easing off. I had both a gti+ and the facelift gti and never experienced this issue.

I remember reading an article a couple of years back on gpfs and it basically said they cleaned themselves on engine braking and overruns. They differ in how they work to a dpf, which needs long periods at a constant temperature to clean themselves.

In my gtis I used to occasionally get up to 70 ...

After some 2 1/2 years of ownership of my Polo GTI ... I discovered :

- You can't take the keys out the ignition if it's not in PARK. Silly me :oops:
- As you rev the engine, the graphics for highest digit that you hit on the rev counter "get larger". Never noticed this before.

Always ...

Beautiful car that Maarten

I still check in daily even though I moved on from the gti in December 2023 and my wife moved on from her r line in September last year. Did see a reef blue gti last week (bit like the one I had issues with) and liked it. If I had my way I’d have my red gti back, but I got out voted last time!

Haha what I want and what I should get are two different things. I love the polo gti (I’ve had enough of them let’s be fair) but my back doesn’t and the road noise drives my wife mad. Certainly looks nice in silver. Wanted a golf gti but Mrs L wanted a new bathroom instead.

Yeah the forum seems to ...

I see the polo gti is now available in reflex silver for this year. Are there any other changes they’ve made for 2025?

From memory, and it’s been a few years, the gti plus didn’t come with that as standard. You needed to specify the winter pack to get that and this link suggests that too https://www.volkswagen.co.uk/idhub/content/dam/onehub_pkw/importers/gb/downloads/brochures/used-cars/polo/polo-nf/polo-brochure ...

Hells teeth it’s amazing looking at that car that you are still here. Speaks a lot for the safety of cars. Hope you make a swift recovery.

Having owned a gti plus (pre facelift) as well as the facelift gti and my wife had the 2016 gti as well, they’re a lot of fun. I drove my gti 60 miles a day to Manchester and back from Preston daily. Whilst it’s doable it did wear me down, the road noise, tyre noise, the wind noise and the ride as ...

How are people finding the Ed25 now they’ve had them a while? Anyone got one that had the standard facelift gti? Do the leather seats help with comfort?


I personally think the suspension in the Polo GTI - ED25 or non-ED25 - will be the main influencing factor as far as comfort is concerned. I ...

Good to hear the Renault is going well. I definitely hoped to be in your position and when I left VW I had no plans to return, but the new golf is just nice from my own experience.

Fingers crossed the Renault continues to be a success. I’ll continue to evaluate if the Mazda is still a ...

Glad to hear your experience has been a good one. Can’t say the same for the Mazda CX30. After 369 days of ownership I’m considering going back to VW or trying a different brand at some point next year. I’ve even joined the golf gti forum to pick brains. I like your format so will copy it ...

Fair enough, just would make sense to me for the dealership to say “whilst it’s in your car is due a dsg service, that would be £x amount do you want us to proceed with it?”. Maybe I’m just old fashioned!
