UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Hi @S_94. Good to see you back. A low coolant level might indicate an issue with your car’s water pump and / or thermostat housing - a weak point on VAG’s EA888 2.0 litre engine. I don’t know if the Gen 3b version of this engine as fitted in the Polo GTI suffers from water pump / thermostat housing ...

The car is 2019 and I’m the 2nd owner so not sure what situation the means where the warranty is concerned. Thanks for your response and the warranty like. I’ll take a look. Thanks again 👍 In the UK, if a VW car is sold during the first three years / before expiry of the factory warranty, then the ...

Welcome to the forum @Ribble2020. I sympathise with your frustration. ABS sensors can trigger warnings that aren’t related to the anti lock braking system, so hopefully replacing the ABS sensors will fix your issues. Presumably your dealer scanned your car for fault codes - were any error codes logg...

Interesting thread. My gti polo was registered March 2023 and I purchased a service plan which covers two services (I hope!). Currently about 5000 miles on the clock. I was expecting annual services when I drove out of the showroom, but notice the info system is saying oil change service in 13,700 ...

Took my Polo GTI+ on a 209 mile round trip this morning; the longest trip it’s ever done. Most of the journey was dual carriageway or motorway so I was able to maintain a steady speed close to the national speed limit most of the time. Driving time; 4 hrs 4 mins Ave speed; 52 mph Fuel consumption; 4...

Food and drink isn’t consumed in my car, so drink spillages and difficult to remove food detritus from the seats and carpets isn’t an issue (I only use the cup holders in the centre console as a place to put my keys and petrol receipts; not drinks 🤣). I have a waterproof boot liner with quite a high...

I would just like to agree with @SRGTD (as you say @turbotrev another full reply as always) The dealer is talking absolute rubbish. There is unfortunately nothing planned in shape of a new Polo. If anything it’s a question of how long they keep production going. I think Euro 7 legislation is nearly...

The interior of my GTI+ rarely gets dirty, so usually it gets just a quick vacuum of the seats and carpets, a shake out and brush of the floor mats and a wipe over or brush of the dash and other plastic parts with a clean microfibre cloth and / or a soft bristled detailing brush. For the interior su...

Hello all just popped into a dealer with a friend to order a new Polo GTI for him and the answer we got from salesman was you cannot order a new one now but have a couple coming into stock that they had ordered but they are not the spec he wanted he also said they only have 3 models in Polo range w...

Got to laugh at times, otherwise you would cry :lol: This morning I noticed that for no reason that I could fathom, I got logged in with a "Guest" profile and it had kindly switched the Climate control off (it's happened a few times before). Select my primary profile and all is well. The ...

Did you ever get around to fitting your dashcam monkey? Would be interested to find out how it's done for when the car eventually arrives. With my current 2006 Golf TDI I have to unplug the dashcam after every trip. Would be keen to avoid this for the GTI. Yep, all done and working correctly - fron...

From my most recent conversation with VW over the phone about looking at a new car there was mention of them not taking any orders for GTI builds. Dealerships will still be recieving them, I think they're just overwhelmed with the demand vs output. Makes sense. VW also stopped taking orders for mk8...

Trim levels and certain engine variants periodically disappearing from the website has happened before at various times. Alternatively - and purely speculation on my part - it could be VW are streamlining the Polo model range either; with the objective of eventually discontinuing the Polo; there’s b...

They’re being replaced like for like on the Golf, so I dare say it’s likely to be the same with the Polo.

Hi All - we bought a 2010 1.4 Polo for my son, he passed his test recently. Been driving it a lot myself, great little car!! Being the petrol head I am I think it would look and handle much better with a slight lowering kit, not going too mad with neg camber etc, but just a slight drop. As luck wou...
