Warning: WD65WPV
Hi all, Just thought it right to put a warning out to anyone who comes across a white Polo BlueGT Manual with registration WD65WPV. I bought the car in Oct 2018 and have enjoyed every minute of ownership and it has been a well maintained car. However I was ready to move on and looked to sell it to A...

Re: Service Interval Question
As far as I am aware, driving style affects how often the car "asks" for a service, with I think more steady engine speeds and gentle driving elongating the service period. I think it mentions it in the owners manual. My last service was 8 months after the one prior to it, mainly due to mi...

Re: 2011 POLO SEL, Boot opening and brake assist?
1) Not too sure on this one, when you hold it disengage the lock on the boot for you, maybe useful if you're locked in the boot [emoji23] but I tend to just do the one click as you're still operating the handle either way and that unlocks it 2) Most (all?) modern cars have assisted braking which is ...

Re: 2016 Polo BlueGT Mudflaps?
Welcome to the Forum! I have a Polo BlueGT too and if I was going to fit mudflaps I'd probably go for some rally style ones, especially if it's not getting lowered. Something like this maybe? https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B073QV3CMR/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_uPUjDb2W1WW6P I don't think you can buy vw mud...

Re: Irregular Tyre Wear / Wheel Bearings
Ah okay!
I said would it be worth rotating the tyres but they were so far gone that it might have made handling worse trusting those tyres with steering, plus I just wanted peace and quiet

Irregular Tyre Wear / Wheel Bearings
Hello everyone, bit of a newbie. Purchased a 2015 Polo Bluegt as my first car at the start of November and have been looking around on the forum ever since, and have finally made an account! I just wanted to see if anyone else had experienced the same as me with their rear tyres as I haven't seen an...

Re: Ride Qaulity Polo BlueGT
I have to say that when running the "Efficiency" tyre pressures (40psi+) the ride can be very harsh but I think that's just the combo of high pressures, firm suspension and low profile tyres as others have mentioned. Regarding the flat spots, I had a noise coming from the wheel axle that s...
