Compartment in passenger footwell

[Stevew82]

Hi guys

There is a compartment in the passenger footwell just in front of the door - I've opened it and it's empty - does anyone know what it's there for? Storage? Or is it a space for a factory-fitted option that I didn't order?

Here's a pic:


Any help would be appreciated!

There's secret compartments all over the car.
Us Polo owners are a sneaky bunch .

Seriously though.. it's where the factory fitted foot-spa plugs in.

Yeah, I have one of those. I first thought that it is for the car manual / workshop book, but that is in the secret compartment in the glove box

It's most likely fusebox door, and since yours is L/H drive the wiring would be for L/H drive too.

Guys, how hard really is it to read the owners manual?! Just take it to the thinking room with you and you will be amazed at all the little features you can't find out about from not reading it!

Oh, to answer the question, it is a dedicated high-vis vest storage compartment

Serious question, is that what the owners manual says?
Just wanted to ask for all of us non-Polo GTI owners without access to the manual

And you doubted me!!!! I did, after all, read the whole owners manual cover to cover.....

HAHA Brilliant!!

Corey, yes, dead serious!

And NO, I didn't read it in the thinking room, I read half the night I picked the car up laying in bed and th following half the next morning in bed because I couldn't sleep from the excitement!

[Stevew82]

Hehe - I looked in my manual but there's nothing rhd fusebox under steering column. I assumed it'd be for PDC unit... Maybe a good place to put bluetooth pack instead of under seat ?

Glad to see I'm not the only one that read my manual cover to cover - yeh Gavs - go the hi vis vest.
Pity it's not a lined little secret spot - worried I might lose something in there and have it rattle against the body work for the rest of my life

Oh well, I have picked up the car and gone through the whole delivery spiel but there is no way I can remember everything...I guess its off to the thinking room with the manual then!
