For the last 23 years, I have alternated between Alfa Romeos and VWs. I took delivery of a Polo GTI in April 2023, having ordered it in March 2022. So far, I am enjoying it, although it misses some of the "character" of the Alfa Romeos. I prefer it to my 2006 Golf GTI (with which it has a lot in common). No particular issues yet, but I have my eye on the climate control which seems sometimes to cool when it should heat. I found the community through a link on the Whirlpool Automotive forum - which began with the accusation that the Polo was essentially dead!

Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before.
We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,
