UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Thanks for the information Speedhunter. I have only covered 16,000 miles although the car is now eleven years old. Perhaps this is why my garage said the the transmission oil change isn't necessary. What do you think?

I replaced the sparks plugs but my garage said that the transmission is sealed so not necessary.

May I take the opportunity of wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year !

Thanks you all for your advice. I will accept the garage suggestion and go ahead.

Hi Guys

I wonder if you would give me some advice. I have a 2015 Polo GTi that is due for it's yearly service. My garage have said that the recommendation is that the spark plugs should be changed at 10 years or 40,000 miles and the dual clutch transmission oil should be changed at 10 years or 180 ...

Thanks. It looks as if I have just been unlucky but maybe there was an issues with some models of around 2015. Unfortunately, when you don't use the car a lot there is a risk that problems will occur on low mileage but outside the warranty in terms of years. I am having it re-built so that we will ...

Hi there, I have a 2015 Polo GTi. I have had the car from new and it has never been driven hard although mainly around town driving. It has covered just over 10,000 miles.

Having experienced a strange noise on acceleration, my local garage have diagnosed worn turbo bearings. That in itself is ...

Yeah, I guess so. Just thought that I would ask. The more you know when you take a car to the garage, the less you get ripped off

Anyone have an ideas?

I cannot hear the noise when I am stationary and rev the engine. Does that point to a problem in the transmission?

The noise sounds a bit like air being sucked in. Is that possible?

I know little about the mechanical side of cars and don't want to be completely ignorant when ...

Hi to all you mechanical geniuses out there

Recently, I've been hearing a strange noise on acceleration. The harder I accelerate, the louder the noise. Difficult to describe the sound.

When driving I don't think I can hear it but sometimes I think that I can hear a soft sound, Maybe I am ...

Thanks aswm. I will try that

I am using Android Auto so that must be the problem. Thanks for the info. Massimo23

I have App Connect on my December 2017 GTi and it works with Google Maps but will not recognise TomTom Go. Does the system only work with Google Maps?

Thank you all for your advice. I will have the brake fluid changed next week but I think that I will switch back to my pre VW local garage rather than the main dealer.

By the way, it passed the MOT so they obviously didn't think that the brake fluid issue was serious enough to fail it.

May I suggest joining and supporting The Alliance of British Drivers who campaign for a more balanced and sensible view to speed limits and other road safety matters

My car is a Polo GTi DSG that is 3 years old and has covered 6,400 miles. My VW main dealer has just completed the MOT and a complimentary health check. They said that despite the low mileage, an aircon service is due and the brake fluid should be changed. Of course they had plenty of technical ...
