UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

I am considering purchasing a new Polo GTi having found out from my insurers it'll be an extra £90 over the year to insure.

I currently have a 6n2 Polo Gti which is a very nice car and I've enjoyed owning one. But with all the gearbox problems and anything else it decides to throw at me, I'd rather get rid of it now and move onto something newer, hopefully less problems and of course faster.

I'm going to look at one today which fits into my price range and has full vienna leather interior.

I want to find out what problems I should look for, like common problems etc?

nowt much as they are so new , get one there are mint!!

dont know to any problems myself, the car is spot on as is the build quality, you wont be dissapointed!!!

the only problem i know is that some people have had clunking when changing from 3rd to 4th iirc, but vw sort that out under warranty

Yeah a few folk have had gear box issues. Not had that myself.

A had a new turbo fitted a few months ago but think that was just a one off ( well i hope! )
