New Polo problems - Register

[calaleu]

Experienced a new issue on the GTI this past week... stop start traffic.... transition from 3-2nd gear hesitation while slowing down then a massive surge and clunk (happened twice this past week).... I thought I got hit by something from behind. No accelarator bashing, just normal stop start traffic.

Added this to the things they are already looking at today!!! No confidence booster for a V-dub owner since Highschool.

I experience this constantly. Have advised dealer twice and been told it is normal. I have my doubts!!

Torque Steer?

Not in the 77. Most likely the subframe needs tweaking or the tie rods are off.

Update on our 66TDi. This morning the engine cut out while coasting, in neutral, foot no where near the clutch or accelerator. Very scary as without the engine there's no power steering and not much brakes... It's actually happened on more than one occasion. Will go to VW on the weekend.

for all you gti oil munchers due to the excessive oil usage and the replace pisston rings fix not working the new fix has now just been released as of yesterday the modified engine breather pipe 03c103474ad tpi 2025520/5 engine must be using over 500ml over 1000ks so you might still have to have oil consumpion tests also as part of the tpi is a software update for the engine ecu so all you boys that have chips might have to get reflashed by your tuners afterwards the pipe is an easy replacement and software update should only take no more than 2hours all up. parts may need to be ordered in so you could have a little wait.

Got the call today bout this fix from our dealer, they ordered the parts today for our car, just have to find out if they are coming from sydney or germany.

This is the second day I've had my 77TSI, I'm just wondering if it is normal that after driving it around or so - is there meant to be a slight burning smell coming from the car? (it smells a bit of burning paper it seems) I think last night I had a similar smell coming through the AC after turning on the windshield de-fogger, and the AC went up full blast for a bit.

Anyone else had this experience or know what it is and should I be worried? I am just hoping its a new car thing that goes away...

[gavs]

Yeah, normal on a new car. Mine stunk for about 2 weeks after every drive until everything burned in

Same same but different...car that is

Hi guys,

Picked up my My12.5 GTI about 2 months ago and noticed some issues happening randomly and just wondering if anyone has experienced the same.
Driving down M4 (Sydney) doing about 90km, all the sudden hear 3 beeps, MDI shows "Check brakes, WORKSHOP", and 4 lights started showing up on the dash "ABS, traction control, warning and tyre pressure", I then parked on the emergency lane, switched the engine off, restarted and all the lights disappeared. Got to work, checked for punctures and nothing found, did not experience the same problem for another week, then one day reversing out of my garage, same problem strikes again, and seems like it's happening at random (whether I'm accelerating or reversing).

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Dan

there should be a software update for this the reading of the pressure sensor for brake booster vaccum system is too sensitive should log a fault booster pressure sensor implusable signal to low had a couple of these now 1 was brand new we had to get the fix from germany.

[Martytronic]

YES! there is hope after all! holy crap man, my 77TSI is only 4 frickin days old since picking it up from the dealers and it just has to be this very morning the rattle appears. Was fine the last 4 days!

The rattle is fixed!

Here is the full word for word description on my invoice:



So they said in the end there was three places that it was rattling from

Have driven for nearly two hours and no rattle now though!

[Benkaiser]

Is it normal to hear some soft engine rattling? The rattles are louder during cold start.

Car: 77TSI, DSG

^ turbo wastegate rattle and fuel line rattle has been found to be the source of these rattles on many occasions. There is a metal clip which seems to fix the wastegate rattle, as for the fuel lines - i cant remember off the top of my head what the "fix" is as such.

Thanks, Lucas.

Time to take it back to the dealer eh?

I am just 2 weeks into owning the Polo.

I don't think its a big deal.....Its a machine after all...Nothing is going to be dead silent.
