Sat Nav map updates
Has anyone updated their built in sat nav maps this year? I did mine last year, downloaded them from VWs website, but when I search now I only get last years I'm looking on here - https://webspecial.volkswagen.de/vwinfotainment/int/en/index/downloads/maps-download#/ I thought that maps were usually ...

Re: Polo GTi 1.8 Cruise Retrofit
Never understood why Adaptive Cruise wasn't an option on the GTI but it was on other Polos. Any ideas?

Re: Android Auto - voice control button
have you tried turning the volume down and saying "ok google"? Yeah, that should work, OK Google works fine on my phone around the house etc, but again if playing music it'd be nice to just press a physical button to activate it. It works so seamlessly with Car Play in our 208 and really ...

Re: Android Auto - voice control button
The voice command is a so called SWaP function, software as a product. You'll need to pay to have it, you can activate it afterwards by going to a VW dealer and purchase a code. This way, they can activate the function for you. I don't know how expensive it is. Hi, I dont think it is the standard V...

Android Auto - voice control button
Hi I have Android Auto enabled and working in my GTi, and wondered if anyone knows if it's possible to trigger the android voice control / Google assistant from the car? I thought pressing the voice button on the steering wheel would do it, but it just comes up saying I don't have voice control (bec...

Re: 6C GTI Manual Clutch
Am I missing something here? Only 18 months old, still in warranty? Why won't VW fix it under warranty? Or the lease company? Surely it's in their interest to get it sorted as well?

6c GTI - steering sticking
Hi Not sure how to describe this one... Got a '65 plate GTI, done about 18k, just been in for its 2yr service. The steering feels a bit funny, it feels like it sticks sometimes and needs an extra nudge to move it. Best example is if I'm on a motorway and there's a slight curve, I'll turn the wheel a...

Re: 2018 Polo NEW SHAPE
I honestly can't see a Polo R happening - how powerful is it going to be? The GTI will be 197 and the Golf Gti is only 220 (I think?) Surely a Polo R will just eat into Golf sales

Re: New GTI
I hope they do something about the god awful stereo as well. Be interesting to see if the GTi is released in November too. I think I read GTI would be early next year edit: the range topping turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder powered GTi model planned to see right-hand drive production early next...

Re: Polo 6R/6C Photo Gallery
Just been over to the Lake District this weekend, some stunning roads and landscapes. Went over Hardknott Pass which is the steepest road in England, a bit scary but good fun and incredible views. Few photos for you all, please excuse the dirtiness of the car, didn't have time to clean it before goi...

Re: New GTi (6C) seating position
I'm approx 6ft 4 and headroom is perfectly fine. Seat does go down quite low, I'd say the biggest problem I have is room between my left knee and the wheel, would prefer the seat to go back a bit further but I can live with it. I believe the seat/wheel position is the same as other Polos (unless som...

Re: New GTI
Someone tried nicking it last night
Smashed the passengers window, ragged the steering column to pieces. Luckily couldnt get it started.
Did enough damage that I couldnt even start it myself this morning, so been towed away to be repaired now.
