Hi all,

The other day I noticed the yellow Catalytic Converter / Emissions light was on (not flashing). light was on (not flashing). The manual states fault in the catalytic converter so we got home and not used car for few days but I started it up yesterday and it did not come on.

Went tonight to ...

Hi all,

On Friday evening my front wipers started to come on by themselves without even touching or moving the stalk. The car does not have a rain sensor or automatic wiper option so its not that. Even when moving the wiper stalk up to any of the other options and back to the off position the wiper ...

Hi,

Thanks for the info. Am going to get the oil and oil filter changed when it nears the 10k mark then.

How do I go about getting the service interval on variable servicing does it need to go into VW to have the setting changed to this if I went down this route?

So next service ...

Hi,

Yes the service in March this year at mileage 17,050 was a major full service (They changed the oil, and all filters, spark plugs, checked and topped up all other fluids, adjusted and cleaned the brakes and adjust hand break as well as general checks on the car overall). The report from them ...

Hi all,

Had my VW Polo 1.0 for the last few years and so far been great but I just have a question regarding the service intervals. The last few weeks my car has started to alert me that an oil change is due in 1,200 miles which is the first time its done this between a full service that I have ...

Update:

Car went into VW on Friday and they had the car allday. They have said the evaprator needs to be changed after tests and leak test they can also trace the leak back to be behind the dash / glove box area so they are sure its the evaprator. VW have approved them to carry out the repair under ...

Another Update:

VW UK and Vertu Dealer have discussed and they agree that he dealer needs to see the car. They have stated they cant take into account the independet report from the Auto AC Specilist as they will need to follow the VW process once they have the car to fault finding the issue.

The ...

My point to VW was you don't expect to pay £10k for an approved car that had 7K miles on the clock last May and only 17K on the clock now and for the AC to fail

Had call today from VW customer services not Vertu. They are speaking to the dealer and they basicly went though everythin on phone with me but did state that any tests by independent garages they would not review or take into account as it needs to be checked by VW

Hi all,

After a number of calls to the dealer they eventually contacted me by email to say they will get back to me next Tue as the sales person who sold us the car last year is not in until then when the after sales manager will also be in on that day.....

Hi RUM4MO

As stated above he offerd to check for free but i wanted to pay him for his time. he said a £10 so i gave him £20





Well now you know how a proper fridge person operates, found the general location of the leak quickly by using his brain and experience - I can't blame him for not ...

Hi all,

The garage that tried to re gas the car twice have now refunded my money.

I now have the car booked in with a Auto AC Specialist tommrow evening who gets good reviews from people. I have explained how the other place have tried to re gas and he has offerd to test the system and leak check free of ...

Hi all,

On my first ...
