New Polo problems - Register

[Casper]

So your sayi8ng it could be normal?
This seems a lot louder than what i have expriecned in the past with other DSG's

Like I said - get it checked out anyway... It could be a completely different noise to the one mine makes... Mine is very dull and hard to hear with the radio on etc...

Mine is only noticeable at low revs/speed... Mostly when slowing down at the lights... During acceleration and cruising it's completely quiet...

In the last week I have noticed my GTI not running very well with a cold engine after I first start her up. I remember having this sort of trouble with old cars but not with new ones. Anyone else?

More engine rattles (at idle). Bloody thing sounds like a diesel. Also, passenger sun visor does not stay in position when pushed all the way forward. AND, rear window washer dribbles for hours after being used.

Rattle fixed (fuel line this time)...and the rear wiper dribble is a known issue on the Golf MKVI. Service department is writing to VW Germany seeking approval to apply yhe Golf "fix" (one way valve inserted into water line) to the Polo.

Also...side mirror adjusting nob has been replaced (under warranty)

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.

Happens on my golf gti as well. I assume it is normal but would like to hear from an expert on this one.

It's normal... My 9N3 Polo does it too... It's just the cold start... Think of it as like a choke.

Wished i knew this thismorning... lol Dropped the car off to get the wipers looked at (they said theres been quiet a few coming back with the same problem, said they just need to re-program it) and told them about the cold start thing, they said they'd have a look.

Have a TDI Golf Wagon for the day, steers like a boat in comparison

Can it do burnouts? lol

Hahaha, nah, but had a heap of tourque, pulled along quite nicely.

Picked up the polo at lunch time, Rain sensing wipers weren't coded in yet, so thats why they were acting as standard intermitten, works like a charm now.

Also, with the rough idle at cold start, they have released a software update which apparently fixes this (thats what they told me anyway), didnt cost me anything today so im even happier. Cant notice anything else really different about the new software either, but in saying that, i was to busy enjoying the rain sensing wipers (actually started to rain halfway back to the office).

OK - GIANT BIITCH - the cup holders suck.

[GTI JOE]

[Guy_H]

yeah - bloody things in front of the shifter, a regular sized coffee sits down to the lid!

I love my coffee, how hard can it be to design a good cup holder ??????

Three choices LOL.
1. Buy a bigger coffee
2. Sell POLO and buy I20
3. Cut a piece of foam / rubber to sit in the holder - maybe 15-20mm thick.

Buy a travel cup that fits the cup holder and have your cafe serve your coffee in it

Upsize dude. Wait till you see the MY11.5 cup holders...you can slide a KFC bucket in there and still have fries with it. Have a nice day
