Volkswagen Polo Model Year (MY) 2011.5 Changes

[William_Foster]

Given that we have been waiting for months, just like everyone else, I think I might be in a tad of hot water with my wife if I cancelled the order and started again. We have ordered all factory options; unfortunately that won't get us the features you got Billecartz [Still annoyed about the underseat drawers, rear sensors and additional power outlet in the boot].

The rear sensors are great, especially how they intergrate with RCD510. The draws and power outlet are over rated, if they werent there I wouldn't care.

The car just keeps getting better, just drove to Melbourne and back and averaged 5.9 litres per 100 km. Fantastic to drive and good for overtaking.

Hello VW - friends in Australia.

I would like to briefly introduce myself. My name is Markus and I come from the other end of the world, from Germany.

I drive a Polo 6R Highline from 02.2010
Last week I read on the Internet, has with you in Australia, the operating unit of the air conditioner to get a new display.
The display was changed from blue / positive to white / negative. Here in Germany, which is not made.

I would have liked but the operating unit in white / negative.

As is shown in Australia because the temperature? In ° Celsius or ° Fahrenheit

Hat maybe one of you the part number for the operating unit white / negative?

I would be delighted if one of you some information I would get it.

For my bad English, I apologize in advance ... already



Greetings
Markus

Hi Markus! it looks like you're not the only one from Old Continent

I have same problem as Yours I contacted VW Australia and they suggested me to contact local importer to solve the problem; then I start look on the web for a dealer, talked with him (he's based in Perth) and then I arrived here asking more infos!

I hope I'll get one, 'cause I'd like to have all the panels and instruments matching!

Consider, all of You, my car was produced in 2nd week of 2011, so it had to have new panel, but unfortunately in Europe it will not possible to get it, since European importers don't want to import it

To answer your question, about temp, I believe Australian ACs have Celsius (as in Europe, except UK), at least looking at this photo (linked from Maverick's site)



Only ways is to get here from Australia or China, but I prefer the first one

Any news? does some car have the new panel fitted?

I don't think anyone has received their 2011.5 cars yet. Mine arrived on the ship today but probably won't see it for another month.

Just wondering if anyone has received a MY11.5 polo yet mate got his a few weeks ago and it was still a MY11 as the climate control was still blue and black and I'm really hoping mine comes with the negative white on black to match the Rcd-510

Mine arrived a week ago and it has the blue one.

It was manufactured in February I think. I'd have to double check the date on the chassis, but I was a bit bummed. It doesn't match with a single thing on the dash in the blue.

Hmmm, i'm hoping the March built polos are MY 11.5 now! Check your build plate crumbs and let us know....

[Guest]

Picking up my car tonight really hoping it has negative screen to math the RCD but will let everyone know

[gavs]

Hanging out Geoffiez, let us know the date on the build plate too so we can work out the changeover date!

That's the one thing I have noticed on mine...low light or night, when the blue screen is lit it is very hard to quickly read the display. The contrast between the blue screen and black text symbols takes my eyes some time to adjust. A dangerous amount of time. I can see that the white and black 11.5 change is probably a safety feature more than a cosmetic one.

I'd happily pay for a change over (of the control unit) to reduce the time it takes me for my eyes to adjust and decipher the blue and black...
