UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Hello - how do the side skirts on the AW variant get attached / unattached from the car? Is it 2 torx 1 bolt and then slide it off? I am planning on having them sprayed gloss black. I’m not sure of the number - or exact location - of the fixings but I think there’s one or two on the underside of th...

The above just scrambles my brain with mumbo-jumbo nonsense. In a situation such as the OP finds themselves in, I think it’s important to know - and have an understanding - of what your consumer rights are and how to proceed with the objective of getting a successful outcome. Particularly important...

Wow, you have a GTI and don't accelerate hard :D No, the usual routes I drive are so congested and the roads are single carriageway, so most of the time it’s only possible to go with the flow of the traffic. IMHO there are limited opportunities to use a GTI to its full potential, so I won’t be repl...

I have a 2020 Polo - the current shape but the pre-facelift car. My car’s a GTI, but I’ve owned VW’s now for nearly 22 years (my current car is my fifth VW - all five owned from new), so although I can’t comment specifically on the Polo Life model, I can comment on my experience of Polo ownership an...

Enjoy your new car. It’ll be good to hear how you’re getting on with it once you’ve had it a few weeks.

@strategygoose - welcome to the forum. I’m pretty certain the very last of the pre-facelift Polos had the centrally positioned ‘Polo’ badge on the tailgate. I think those cars also had the same in car tech that the facelift cars got. Edit; just had a look at used Polos on VW’s website and yes, late ...

Depending on the OP’s age, cost of insurance might be a factor - and potentially a significant cost -with a GTI.

Thanks for giving me your information that you know but still don't understand why they can't give me an idea of build date plus I asked the sales man what was going on and he could not give me any idea what's happening at VW. Considering all the GTI addition 25 where all sold end of November 23. B...

Hi everyone can anyone help tried to get some information on my order today from the dealer for a new Polo GTI addition 25 that was ordered last November and they still do not have a build date for the car is anyone else having the same problem with there orders. Can anyone through some light on or...

How many miles has your car done? Service intervals for the 6 speed wet clutch DQ250 are 40k miles.

With the DSG in my 2020 Polo GTI+ I don’t recognise the behaviour that you describe, but then I rarely accelerate very hard in my car.

I’m a little confused as you’ve said in your post that your car is a year old but you’ve also said it’s a 2020 car purchased in Nov 2022. I’m assuming it’s the latter - a 2020 car, so it’ll now be between 3 and 4 years old. Are you taking the dealer’s word for the turbo actuator being rusty or have ...

I wonder if this could be it. It would make sense that the infotainment fan would only come on after I've been driving for a while. It continues when I turn the system off but you'd expect the fan to continue anyway. Worth trying a couple of journeys with the infotainment unit switched off to see w...

That’s a possibility.

On a previous VW I owned, I seem to remember I could hear the infotainment unit cooling fan running after I’d turned the engine off.

I’ve seen VW’s Pure White paint with codes of LC9A, C9A, 0Q and 0Q0Q - I think all are correct, although the ‘official’ VW paint code for pure white - e.g. when buying touch up paint at a VW dealer - seems to usually be LC9A. I think that historically, some VW paint colours have been shared with Aud...
