That's what I would have thought, but not the case.

Re: Can't unlock car

Manual entry now works with battery replaced, but didn't work with dead battery. I would have thought that manual entry shouldn't need the battery but apparently it does.

Re: Can't unlock car

I'm an idiot, it was the key fob battery.
Had no idea it would prevent manual entry.

Re: Can't unlock car

Thanks but no luck. Key turns in barrel but does nothing.

Also, temp is approx 1 degree c if that's relevant

Can't unlock car

Hi, I have a 2017 Polo (6R I think)

Earlier today my car wouldn't lock with the fob. I tried spare fob, also didn't work, but I was able to lock manually. Just now tried to unlock and neither fob nor manual unlock works, I'm totally locked out of the vehicle.

Any advice? I need to travel in the ...

Thanks RUM4MO, I’m actually glad to hear that it’s normal, at least it’s not something I should worry about!

Engine rattling /chattering- again

At the risk of annoying everyone I’m repeating a question I’ve already asked, as it seems to be worse, and I have a better quality recording of the issue, and I’d really appreciate the opinion of experienced Polo owners.

The car is 2017 Polo 1.2 TSI Match Edition with 37400 miles on the clock ...

Any benefit to staying on finance?

Hi all,

I recently bought a used 2017 Polo 1.2 TSI Bluemotion from a VW dealership.

I bought on finance to take advantage of the extended 2 year warranty and services etc. and planned to pay off the finance early.

Before I do, I just wondered if there is any benefit to staying on finance? Are VW ...

Re: Slight rattling sound when idling

Thanks for your reply 2226, feeling slightly better about it!

It's just such an odd noise, like a couple of dice being gently rolled around in a plastic cup...
Is there anything I can do to minimise it?

Cheers

Slight rattling sound when idling

Hi all

First post, I'm new to the forum and new to Polo

I bought a 2017 1.2 TSI Match Edition with 37400 miles on the clock a couple of days ago.

I've noticed a gentle rattling sound when idle, more noticeable after a rev. Any idea what could be causing it and wether its something to be concerned ...
