Re: App Connect

I got similar news. Also would have to change the glove box because that’s where the newer head unit lives and the other is just a screen. Also found out that there’s a 50/50 chance that if you get a head unit out of a junkyard car you might not be able to override the anti theft device inside and ...

Re: Polo GT ride height for Tow Bar

I'm pretty sure I'm not going over the weight, seeing as I can lift the trailer by hand to put it on the hitch, I'm not pulling boats or caravans, its just a small cube trailer from the hardware store... anyway I just want to be sure I can lower the car some and not have any issues, so thanks for ...

Polo GT ride height for Tow Bar

Hi everyone,

I have a 6C 1.2 tsi with steel wheels, and the standard factory ride height. I've been looking at getting some alloy wheels and maybe lowering the car to the GT height, but I have a trailer hitch on the back and I want to make sure that lowering the car won't give me problems when I ...

Re: are 6R and 6C mud flaps the same

Hey guys,

Just put on my mudflaps front and back, but I'm having some issues with the front ones. If you take out your instructions and look at step 13, it shows a funny little clamp that should pinch two arms of the mud flap to the car frame. I can't get this to work. Every time I try to tighten ...

Re: App Connect

Hi all,

I have a pre May 2015 polo 6C tsi, with a totally different head unit. No voice buttons, CD player above the screen, but it's got bluetooth. Can someone tell me if it's possible to buy the newer screen/buttons etc and move the cd player unit into the glove box? is this at all possible or ...

Re: Electric tone from Gas pedal

Yea the noise is a bit hard to hear in the clip without headphones and if you haven’t heard it in real life. As far as I know it’s all stock parts so it could be that. I don’t think there’s a warranty left on the car from VW so it will just be something I drown out with the radio unless it is a ...

Electric tone from Gas pedal

Hi everyone, I just bought my first polo. 2015 6c 90hp TSI BMT 5 speed manual. Hooray!

Sadly on my two separate test drives I didn’t hear “the sound” that now I hear in my dreams. [youtube]https://youtu.be/_2qh1erBHrs[/youtube]

In the video you will hear a tone ...
