New Polo problems - Register

[tay113]

Started off with funny diesel like noise when i accelerate and it was fixed with a new electro magnetic actuator.Picked up the car the same day last thursday from service centre and the kind tech. told me there was another new noise coming from the high pressure fuel pump .Light rattle sound when lightly accelerate. Ordered parts.
I was told the fine black spots appeared at the back of boot and bumpers are caused by container spraying from customs when it arrives and it can show up after a period of time.They will clean it up.Interesting!
While driving yesterday ,i heard additional high pitch noise.

Guys,I wonder if the loud engine sound via the sound amplifier be removed as it can be pretty loud?
thanks.tay

HI,
Its different noise.Like diesel rattles when accelerate....Thats fixed.
Now i have issues from the high pressure fuel pump making lite rattle sounds and additional high pitch sound when accelerate at higher revs.2 sounds for the price of one.
Just want to know if the sound amplifier can be isolated as i personally find the loud engine sound is bit loud .thanks tay

HI guys,
latest update as the fuel pumps replaced but its still noisy rattles as i accelerate and looks like it requires another new pump and re-examine whatever else might contribute as its back to workshop on the 18th april.Its pretty annoying rattles.ahhhh!Got the sound amplifier mute and happy with that. i do experience no initial braking feel sometimes and they had the brakelines bled.No improvement as they will check out again.The vw service tech guys are very helpful but it is beyond their control as some are spare parts related problems and also manufactured issues which i hope can be trouble shoot.So far at 2500km ,the oil level is still ok as i am paranoid checking out once a week.
The only pleasure i get is when i whipped the car to the hills and the driving sensation is well and truly compensated.

Found out yesterday that there are 2 Campaigns at the moment for 6R Polo.

One is for the Mechatronics unit, not sure/can't find out what the 2nd one is for. Non urgent campaigns, as ours will be attended to at the next service (7,500km away)

I phoned up VW as soon as i heard about the recall and it is for the 77TSI...Regarding the blow off valve. Phone any dealership and quote this code and they will ask you to book the car in to get it fixed. Takes half a day apparently...they are giving me a loan car and seemed to be nice enough on the phone....Mascot VW NSW are doing the work on 10th May.

If there is any reason why i shouldn't use Mascot please don't hesitate to say so!

Code = 24V9

This is a good start, the car has a recirculation/diverter valve for a start, no blow-off valve. Coupled with the fact it is for the wastegate actuator which is the component that is failing.......

Hi
After my fist service (2011 6R polo 77TSI DSG reflex silver) I was told there was a recall 24V9 to fit a 2mm spacer on the turbo actuator arm to stop it rattling. However some owners who have had the spacer fitted have complained of increased fuel use and lesser performance. Has any body had this done and has it affected the performance or fuel consumption. I am a little reluctant to go ahead as my car is running fine as it is (with no rattles). Thank you for any replies.

I have informed them to prepare my car for a Turbo, actuator replacement as today it has officially stopped spooling (just checked it and confirmed no pressure/boost).

FJ Steve your recall for the mechatronics is : 37G7

So current recalls for the TSI/TDI possibly GTI down the road.

24V9: Turbo space, wastegate actuator (if damage has been found the turbo/wastegate unit will be replaced).

37G7: Mechatronics recall, if any damage to clutch/box it will = a new Gearbox/ECU update.

HI guys
i found a knocking noise form the front end of my polo when my polo go over speed bumps (when both front wheel doing the same motion, going up and down at the same time). does anyone have the same problem, seems like there is quite a lot of suspension noise for a new car especially the front left corner.
cheers

Had to get the battery replaced today after 2 flat batteries when the car wasn't used for a 24 hour period.

I gather trying to get this claimed under warranty is going to be a VW "ha ha - no" exercise? December 2010 registered...(and used as a dealer demo for 5 months).

No, I didn't take the car to the dealer to get the battery replaced, after I got the same "no, it's not the battery" excuse previously on the Golf.

Batteries have warranty on them from the manufacturer, I would at least try it with the dealership.

There has to be something on draining your Battery flat leaving a car for even a few days should not cause a flat battery .

Ok so this is my list so far...

1. Leaking rear windscreen washer. Fixed
2. Bumper rubbing under tail light causing flaking. Respray
3. Right mirror not completely painted. Respray
4. Knocking in Dash under load. Suspected to be sound generator incorrectly secured and vibrating firewall. Secured. Not fixed
Inspected again for knocking in dash. Faulty exhaust Amplifier causing rattle on fire wall. Part disconnected. Waiting for new part.

It has been a good experience with the dealer because they are not rude about it and know there are issues.

There is no reason why it shouldn't be. It is a faulty part.
