        I get a clunk from the brakes if i reverse and put on the brakes lightly, then if i go forward and put on the brakes lightly it does it again.

        I think the sticky tape holding the calipers on might be getting loose. Definitely need the service guys to put some zippy ties on to fix this one.

          I've found rubber bands are almost as good ... but you have to check them regularly for perishing.

              Does anyone get blip sounds coming from the CD player? Sounds similar to the sound it makes when switching tracks, but just happens randomly while playing back CDs. Doesn't happen with the radio. First I thought it was the GALA function, but happens when car is stopped too, any thoughts?

                dont know if the polo has em.. but some cars have grub screws in the calipers that hold the pads in the correct spot... if this is loose then the pad can slide backwards and forwards in the caliper when you apply the brakes and you get a knocking noise from the pad hitting the end of its travel.
                had this issue in another car we owned after they had replaced the discs and put new pads in.

                  Speaking of the stereo - I can't stand how the first second of each song played on a CD is cut out - what the F is going on with that?

                  And have you ever found a slower player to go from one song to the next? And as for the fast forward/rewind in song............ I'll be buying an old school Alpine 7909 as soon as I can find one on ebay for under a grand.
