Is yours a DSG box? Your experience doesn't inspire me with confidence in VG, keep us posted on what they find, perhaps it's just an isolated problem, something that inevitably occurs with production made cars

JimNiko - The DSG box does make a bit of a dull clunking/grinding noise at low revs/low speed... I noticed this too when I first picked my car up and took it back to have it checked. I was assured this was normal (the service guy couldn't even hear it for ages as I drove him around... Said he's gotten so accustomed to the noise it doesn't even register anymore)... 6 months and 7000kms later it's still running fine... Touch wood!
Get it checked out anyway of course, but don't be surprised if they tell you it's normal...
Turned off my climate control today for the first time, and felt warm air on my face after a few minutes.
The climate control had been at 22, but when it's turned off via the rotary dial, it appears to let hot air in to the cabin...
Turning the unit on, and dial down to Lo, then off again the problem was solved....
...anyone else got climate control issues?
Nope. Have not noticed if any air comes in when it is off, but then its been on 18 since I got the car, even with the windows open <---helping the fight against global warming
PS, how many times have you posted something then clicking on the big blue "+ Reply to thread" button and need to start all over again?

I have just purchased a new polo 77tsi manual, and one day after delivery had to take it back as I had a miss at about 1000 rev every time I revved the motor or started in first gear.Each time the motor would give a distinct shake when the blip or inbalance would occur, and then once driven through it all was fine.Solitaires here in Adelaide reprogrammed the software, but that has made no difference. I also have a strange rattle which sounds like it comes with vibration from the engine only in neutral and on idle. At times it sounds like the polo is a diesel, but it fades in and out. At times it sounds like it comes from the engine, and other times from in the dash. Any clues anyone? Waza

Hi Waza.
Ours had a rattle (front RHS) when the air cond was off and in idle.
The fuel line was vibrating against the body where it disappears down into the chassis and it appears to be typical of this model (77TSI) of POLO.
I have fixed it by sliding some 1/2" rubber A/C pipe insulation hose (avail from Bunnings) over the fuel line. It was slipped over the fuel line by slitting the A/C hose down the length, and then feeding it down over the fuel line until it reached the bottom - probably about 300mm - The rattle is now gone.
I really did expect a better design from VW on something so simple !
Well, it looks like it didn't take long for the DSG issues to start in this car either... I wonder how long it will be before the 1.4TSI's start blowing up like in the Mk6 Golfs....
"If can't get behind your troops, feel free to stand in front of them..."
Picked up a Manual TSI about 2-3 weeks ago (2011 built and complied), cars been going good until the last week or so. Noticed that on a cold start the engine surges between about 900 - 1300 rpm for about 2 mins... then drops down to the normal idle rpm. Its seems half the time it does this, the other half is normal where it will sit at 1100rpm for about 2 mins and then drop to 750.
The only other problems i have is that the rain sensing wipers don't work, they still act like the standard intermittent. And every now and then the Hill Assist (think that's what they call it) doesn't turn on. The cars going back to get this fixed so i think i might mention the irregular revving on start-up.

WOW, more problems. I hope VG start ironing all these issues out very soon. Hey Trepid4tion, I think the rain sensing wipers only automatically adjust with speed when it's raining eg. move faster as you increase speed and vica versa, at least that is the way it worked on my Citroen C4. I know it sounds a little misleading and one thinks that they should turn on automatically when it starts raining, but I don't believe it is the way they work, I could be wrong, but that is my experience.

your experience with Citreon is valid, but not relevant here.
The rain sensing wipers on a VW vehicle are activated via sensors attached to the windscreen (behind the rear vision mirror mount). The speed of the wipers does not vary, however, the intermittent delay will vary, depending on how much water is remaining @ the sensors after each wipe of the blades. So you may have a vary long delay between wipes, or the sensor may decrease wiper delay, to the extent that the wipers go to continuous wipe. IMHO should the downpour be of such intensity, the wipers will go to speed 2 (as if you had selected the faster wipe speed), but I am yet to experience that in 3 years of ownership with our MKV R32

Delay and speed do vary depending upon intensity, and YES you can leave it on setting one, without any rain and rest assured they will start when rain appears. As tested from Melbourne to Canberra
