UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Thanks joe6 I will get some red rubber grease and lubricate the
bushes with that and see if it quietens down then I will be very happy.

I will go for the 646 then thanks.

I done some checks and saw that my polo 6R supposed to have a 646 battery.
The battery that is in the car is a 628.I am thinking of going back to the battery
size that the car supposed to have in it.
I think the previous owner was cutting costs and decided to put a 628 instead
of the 646.What do ...

No my car does not have the stop/start feature,it has a normal lead/acid battery.
I tried to charge the battery up today with no luck.It definitely needs replacing.
Will go in tomorrow and check by VW for an OEM battery,bought a 614 battery
for my polo vivo a while back for R944 from VW.
This has a ...

If it is the bushes that are the culprit then wouldn't the noise get a bit softer
if I manage to lubricate the bushes,what can you recommend I use on them
to lubricate them,also bearing in mind that I am in South Africa.
I have heard someone talking about red rubber grease,will it be possible to ...

Thanks guys for the advice I will get the battery tested and see from there
whether it needs replacing or maybe just needs to be charged up,yeah 6
years is a long time for a battery life.Pity they don't all last that long.
Ok from now on I will say I have a 6R,thanks....

I was busy with my headlights today and did not start the engine up
but just had the headlights on while changing the one headlight bulb.
I must have had the lights on for a maximum of 30 minutes intermittently but when
I started the engine the battery had a very lazy swing but it managed
to ...

No it does not have LED or HID headlights,I suppose I am going to have to
replace those bushes as it is possible the noise is travelling through the rear
beam from the bushes.I have not looked to see if there is a height adjust
sensor on there but is it really possible for a creaking noise to come ...

Changed the shock absorber and shock mounting but noise is still there.
I jacked the car up and made a shocking discovery,the creaking is coming from
the rear cross member on the rear suspension.
There is no visible damage to it so how is it possible for the noise to be coming
from there,no cracks ...

I thought it was only in South Africa that VW came with no diagram for the fuse layout.

So a simple thing like changing a globe and blowing a fuse ends up with you having to scan and clear the car for faults,seriously now?What next?

Thanks once again for the feedback.
I will try and reseat the spring as suggested while I am in the process of replacing the shock and see if the creaking goes away.On the topic of 6c and 6r what would the difference be between them anyways?

Cheers.

Thanks for the response.
Excuse my ignorance but don't bump stops just clip into a plastic dust cover and basically fit around the shaft of the shock,so how would they slip?It could be the top shock mounts has anyone else on the forum also replaced their shock mounts and had their problem solved ...

Thanks for the reply.
I replaced the left rear shock because it was leaking and removed the right
shock and pushed it in and out and it does not make a noise at all.
Is it possible that it will make a noise on the car and when it is off it can be quiet?
My gut feeling tells me to just replace the ...

Good day
I am new to the forum and I am looking forward to learning from you VW gurus.
I have a 2011 POLO 6C comfortline which has this annoying creaking coming from
the rear of the car.I read previous posts on this forum about this creaking noise
but no one seems to have been successful in ...
