Anyhow, I've found myself starting to put my car into N and then keeping my foot on the brake, but only when sat for awhile. I don't think you need to do that, if you're keeping your foot on the brake just keep it in D. The clutch will be disengaged automatically so there's no wear to worry about b...

My long term average (1600) miles in is 39.7mpg. I haven't been easy on it from the start as i believe in a hard run in so it was given lots of revs and lots of engine breaking as soon as the engine was first warmed. MPG is great so far.. around town with stops and starts i get about 36mpg. But on m...

Coasting only works if your clutch is disengaged which if the gearbox was in eco you can feel that happening when approaching junctions and taking your foot of the throttle. However her gearbox once again is NOT in eco so engine braking is happening as it would in normal or sport modes. The engine ...

Dealer contacted me today to ask why i hadn't completed the finance documents yet so i told him they haven't been sent yet. Turns out its because the wait has been so long they need to do a new credit check. Docs came through and sorted within an hour. Pick up tomorrow!

I would not bother as I watched a video with a tuning company comparing different tuning boxes and what power gains they say. The company fitted the boxes and did a dyno test on the rolling road and all of them did not make the power that was supposed to even the company that tested them contacted ...

That's a bit more reassuring, would help if they could have just said that on a call that would take 2 minutes. Thanks Guys.

Hi Guys, I got told by my dealer on Tuesday 16th that they will have the car on Thursday 18th and I can collect the car on Tuesday 23rd. He said he will send me out the finance documents and drive away insurance documents to sign. When do they usually issue these? I would have presumed they would ne...

I rang my dealer Friday last week and was told its not even been put on a ship yet, it will be a minimum of 6 weeks. Then on Saturday I get a text saying my car is near the UK. Sunday get a text saying my car is in the UK. Rang my dealer again spoke to a new guy who has taken over my order as the or...

Apparently mine is not at the dealers and that was a mistake. I got the 5b today as well and after a bit of searching on ship tracking there is a ship called Mermaid Ace that docked this morning at port Elizabeth. Presuming this is our ship for anyone that got the 5b today. https://www.vesselfinder...

Mine went into transit on the 13th of March and is sat at the dealer. I rang on Tuesday for an update and was told I would get a call back within 24 hours. Next day no call so I called them to be met with "we have over 3000 cars to sort so no you wont get a call back I don't know what you were ...

Looks like mine has a buddy, mine also finished production on Friday. What is your confirmed delivery date? Mine was the end of May, but going from other peoples time frames from this message to delivery it puts it around 47 days which is around a month and a half so looking like end of April.

Took her to my local countryside stately home for a photoshoot this morning. https://i.ibb.co/9bNJsnR/09715-EB8-35-D9-4-F1-A-AF57-8-F2-E863-A3-F68.jpg It was also good to pair my iPhone to my Fuji X100F so it acted as a remote trigger. What color is your polo? Is it a filter you applied to the pict...

Not all induction kits take warm air. It depends on what comes with the kit, some take an air feed route from lower down the engine bay in an open air flow, some use a heat shield and some such as the APR induction kit for the S3 have a mouth which connects to the front cold air feed. It's not just ...

Hi Guys,

What is the usual time from placing an order to getting a confirmed build week. I ordered on the 3rd of December and my order is still "with the factory". Hope i'm just being too impatient.

For a Polo GTI+ if that helps.

Cheers
