UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Your two friends have completely different cars from this point of view. Both diesels. The noise is coming from the engine, and different engines make different noises. The noises their cars' engines make is completely irrelevant.

The noise happens whenever the injector fires. As it's a direct ...

The injectors stop firing when the gearbox changes gear, allowing the revs to drop smoothly. So that's not surprising. I also can't hear the injectors at higher speeds, they get drowned out by other noises (wind, tyres).
So it's a normal sound, like the VW tech told me?

Yep, higher speed the ...

Is your friend's car a TSI, or the 1.0 NA engine? Because the 1.0 doesn't have direct injection, and as such it wouldn't have ticking injectors (if, of course, this noise you're describing is the injectors). I've not driven a diesel Polo, so not entirely sure if you can hear the injectors. I know ...

If it's really bothering you, you might want to take a look at the under bonnet insulation, and compare it to a diesel Polo. You might find that there's more insulation on the diesels, and you might be able to put the diesel insulation in. Just a thought!

It's a *really* minor noise though. It's ...

My Fabia with the 1.2 TSI makes a bit of noise at times, which is the injectors. My mum's 1.2 TSI Rapid and her previous 1.4 TSI Superb all made the same sort of noise (the Superb less than the other cars though). My car doesn't have much in the way of sound insulation though. It's only noticeable ...

What's the problem driving a 1 series if it's affordable? A1 Sportsback is just the same amount of money yet the A1 is normal and 1 series is lesbian/gay? What are all the 19/20 year old Arabs with they C63 and Aventadors? A mix of both

A1 is for young women like the fiat 500 and Mini ;) , and ...

This buzzing... it's not the injectors is it? They can be quite noticeable, especially on low throttle positions. Also, there was talk over on the Skoda forum of there being buzzing from a particular pipe in the 1.2 TSI.
That's what the VW technician said. It's the injector making the noise which ...

Hey, just a bit an update, which is crucial at this point:

My selling dealer contacted the dealer that has my car and after not spending an hour for the past 5 days they magically "stripped the car" and couldn't find any problem. To which I rebutted that it is not possible as it will take a few ...

I think that a different version would make it a different "sales model" so that might end up being a sticking point, so a Polo is a Polo is a Polo will not be quite true in this case. Or different "sales designation" - same problem possibly!

Just checked on the status of the "repair" they are apparently doing when I went to collect some stuff from my car. It's been 5 days and the car did not even move from the position I parked it for them. Steering wheel exact same angle as I left it. This is although 2 days ago they promised VW ...

Literally it's entirely up to the dealer at the end of the day, at least yours they already said let's replace it. There's plenty in England people say completely avoid eg the one I went to Kings Lynn in England, if it wasn't a 10 year old car I'd have been wanting a long time I'd have walked away ...

Understandable. However, what the correspondent failed ...

When the cars in next about the situation I'd just politely ask at this point what's the likelihood of a complete replacement at this stage of the process, and then ask if you are to get a replacement can you select a different sub model like the r-line etc.
Hey, a bit of an update on the ...

We are going to get it booked in at the local dealers, they have been pretty good with a couple if faults on it while he's owned it so see how they do with this. I will update on here as and when I have anything
I will get an update tomorrow/Thursday the latest, but so far, it is heading in the ...
