Hello boys !
I'm currently the owner of a Polo 6C from 2014 (June) with a 1.2 TSI engine (manual gearbox) in Cup finition.
It's a special on based on "Confortline".
Few months ago I decided to clean up the felt on my door and the rubber seals too.
I take an APC diluted at 1/4 and take a brush to clean.
I remove the excess with a microfiber.
When I took the car I was scared by the ammount of creaking noise. The impression of driving a 50 years old car.
I made some research and apparently it's a common issue on Golf MK 6 and MK 7 and Polo of the same year.
Creaking noises appears for no reason. For me I think APC is the cause.
Then I decided to clean up the rubber (I tough It was them and not the felt) with alcool (95°) and rince them with water and dry them with a micro fiber.
After I applied the rubber care of VW on rubber seals: 000096310B
Creaking noises still present.
I decided to treat the felt with this product. Creaking noises were eliminated at 95% I was quite happy.
But they came back few days later.
Today I deciced to clean up the felt to remove the APC and the rubber care product.
Hot water in spray, I brush them with a soft brush and rince with water anb a microfiber.
I did this only on the driver's side door to test different method.
I will try the Gummi Pflege. If the water cleaning solution will not work.
Other people talk about the Krytox (VW reference: G052172M2 // G052172A2)
Does anyone have an opinion ?
