off the top of my head you have to go into the settings then units/gauges what ever it is called

Thanks, found a massive fly in my head light unit, about an inch long, are the units sealed? It's still alive so I'm hoping it finds its way own way out.

Just hold down the ok button on the steering wheel, when average mpg is displayed

Update on my 'Sports Pack' and Kenwood/Garmin Satnav issues, after collecting my GTI from the local dealers today, after their third attempt to fix.........

Well it was nice to see that on this occasion they had cleaned and valeted it. Shame about the wet weather though

They finally seem to have sorted all issues out with the satnav module, having found how to set the screen resolution to HD for the Polo, correctly fitted the TMC antenna, and today, sorted out the loss of sound on spoken instructions (they said they fixed the sound by rebooting the system, but I suspect they again set the dip switches wrong on the Kenwood interface unit).

So I'd now give this Kenwood/Garmin satnav upgrade my recommendation, and I've now loaded on the speed cameras, and it all works well. It's not cheap at £550 fitted, but I'd rather have the Garmin system than the VW one.

It seemed a bit bizarre when they told me last week they ordered a new button for the sports switch (do they think changing the button itself will bring added functionality - surely not!)

Anyway they fitted this new button today, so now I have the correct button, that just says 'Sport' without the damper logo. However when activated, it does now alter the steering feel, so I think maybe they've tweaked the firmware (or perhaps this new button does have additional I/O connections to alter the steering parameters. Not sure I can sense any change in throttle response (but I'm getting so confused now, I'd need to drive 2 cars back to back to see I can I tell the difference). Same goes for the sound. Sometimes I can convince myself it's marginally louder with Sports selected, but it's so marginal I think I'm just wanting to hear a difference (will have to try some blind tests - but now whilst I'm at the wheel myself, lol!)

I'd be interested to know from others with the Sports Pack, how noticeable is the increased noise and throttle response???

Thanks to Andy who posted pics of key remote covers he purchased. Mine arrived today and I think we'll be v happy together.

Glad u find it Ok m8 [emoji3]

On another note(pardon the pun). I still can't get the stereo to sound as I'd like it. Its pretty powerful bass wise so no problem there but I don't think the depth and quality of sound is there like I had in the Sony unit in my fiesta. Been adjusting the equaliser but I'm yet to hit the sweet spot. When I fade in between front and rear speakers the rears do sound very poor quality. A small matter I know but I enjoy my music so a bit annoying at min. Anyone's thoughts welcome.

Ordered a Deep Black Gti approx 7 weeks ago and car is currently in transit.

Spec is 3dr.
Manual.
Convenience Pack.
Parking Pack.
Sport Pack.
Winter Pack.
App Connect.
Arm Rest.

My current car benefits from being run on super unleaded and wondered if anyone had been using it in their Polo?

anyone else got build week as this week? Mines was scheduled to be this week but have received 2 updates this week informing me its week commencing 02/11 , tracker still has it as 26/09 though.

Always use super in mine.

I don't have my Polo yet, but I noticed a difference in MPG in my Anniversary when using VPower so I'll be using it in the Polo when that arrives too.

Yep, me too. E-mails on Monday and yesterday saying w/c 2/11, but online tracker still showing w/c 26/10.
I tweeted VW UK Help yesterday asking which was correct, but no response so far.

Edit - just noticed that you're in Edinburgh too - maybe they'll both arrive at the same time!

I get better fuel consumption with super unleaded

Im sure its been mentioned, but what oil temps are advised to get it up to before putting your foot down?

I've started getting a little pop the first time I change from Media to Radio or vice versa after starting the car up. I know that there was a guy on here who's Polo went into the garage regarding this....I just want to check if it means anything other than there literally potentially just being a small pop once a journey?
