Doesn't the GTI have climate control?
In which case the aircon should be left on all the time.
Some manufacturers have the default to ON now, you cannot switch the aircon off unless you ask.

But some time the fan is too high - and I do not want to change the set temperature - to lower it automatically.

Yes I can - but I have to use the little (-) button that I was complaining at the first place.

After approx 1500 miles (so 3500 I suppose) I started to experience an intermittent issue where the car just wouldn’t reverse. Reverse selected at a complete stop, some motive force could be felt as the car tries to drive backwards, then the revs would spike and the car would put itself into Neutral, with an on-screen prompt to “depress foot brake”. I phoned the garage to get it in, and unfortunately had to wait 2 weeks before they could offer a loan car. My car’s been with them since Tuesday, and after contacting VW Technical, they’re now awaiting a response from the factory (although i’m not privy to the exact details of their request)

So I’ll wait and see what comes of it, hopefully mine’s just a one off as I haven’t found any reports of the same fault anywhere else

No problems till now except annoying things such as:
- in/out circulation needs to put in "in" mode every new starting.
- Gauge meters oil temp and water temp need some times a refreshing to see the readings.
- No automatic lock on leaving the car.( I have it on the Mazda 3 2014)
- The panoramic sun roof cover is not opaque enough in high direct sun.
- Oil stick, it is very difficult to take it out.
- Very annoying to shut down the air conditioning with the (-) button

I have a problem with my Polo GTI Mk7 waited 12 months for the car to be built collected the car on 21/12/2019 and it definitely clunking/Robin sound so on 17/02/2020 they replaced rear brake pads thinking this was the problem which wasn’t and the sound is now ridiculously loud it’s been back in this Monday and they said VW are where there is a problem but currently there is no remedy for repair which I feel is poor anyone else with this problem ? Thanks Louie
