Re: New GTI

I was umming and arring over Silk Blue but when I saw one in the flesh I thought it looked a little dull - but yours looks lovely SRGTD :D Thanks nats148.

Re: New GTI

Thanks SRGTD I did wonder about trying to go down the warranty route, as I really think a wheel/car that is less than 9 months old should fair better than that. I'm not keen on getting them refurbed (I've kerbed the n/s/f which touch wood isn't holding up too bad) as I've not really seen any diamond...

Re: New GTI

Noticed this yesterday. I'm sure it wasn't there when I washed it a week ago ;-(

Re: New GTI

Anyone ordered a 3 door flat white? Just seen one being driven to the PDI centre at Killingholme, NE Lincs.

Re: Debadge or not?

I used to debadge all of my cars, but I've left them on this one, my Anni and my old 6N2 when I had it. I actually replaced the 6N2's because the red had faded on them.

Pain in the **** when polishing and waxing though :lol:

Hopefully it'll be quicker than that - maybe not after your last attempt though :lol: who did you deal with this time?

Re: Dashcam power?

I took mine to a local auto electrical place and had it hardwired, cost £50 but I would have broken something if I'd tried to do it myself and all the wires are hidden away neatly.

Re: Polo dashboard blackener?

I'd give it a scrub with some diluted all purpose cleaner then use a trim dressing on it . I like Obsession Wax Nero personally, but there are loads to choose from.

Re: RE: Re: New GTI

Had this myself a couple of times, feels like the car is going to give up initially! Think it could be something to do with what fuel is put in... I purposely put in 99Ron Shell V Power at one point and it didn't seem to do it. Checked my oil yesterday and that's not the problem so no idea what els...
