Polo Problems & Fix Register

Not sure if anyone has missed a cancel cruise control button... Got one on my Euro. I'd been using the brake pedal to cancel cruise, but then I found that depressing the clutch pedal will do the same thing - looks a bit better to the guy behind too.

You can cancel cruise with the cruise control on/off switch. When you push it not all the way it does a cancel while remembering the previous speed. Push it till it clicks into the other position and it turns off completely and forgets the speed.

Anyone else ever needed to top their coolant up?

I've found that - after nine months and approximately 6000km, I've hit "Low". No warning lights or anything, and no visible leaks in the system that I can see. I'm going to have to get a bottle of G12+ and a bottle of distilled water, and give it a bit of a top up.

My levels haven't moved in 6000kms in 5 months.

I had a low coolant light come on just before my 30k service. The guys at the dealership didn't seem too worried that the car was loosing coolant somewhere.

Anyone know if the rear wiper fluid is from the same reservoir as the fronts? Can't find a rear reservoir so I'm guessing it's a yes.

I am pretty certain there's only one reservoir. Given it takes a while for the fluid to come out at the back, I'd say it's just the one.

Also, I've never had a car with two reservoirs, I always thought all cars just use the one?

[PeterHBne]

My Daihatsu Charade had two - filled a reservoir above the tail light with the hatch up

Well there you go. Learn something everyday.

19 months and no lowering of the coolant level.

Anyhow, picked up some G12+ and a bottle of demineralised water (yes, I'm being pedantic!) yesterday afternoon. I'll be monitoring this pretty closely - I suspect it might be something to do with me getting stuck in absolute gridlock last weekend (roadworks) for about half an hour, if not more.

Does any1 else get squeeky/noisy front seats? i've had the dealer replace the back support thing and the noise still came back, lubing only cures it for an hour...

[MINTpolo]

Yes, my seats squeak a fair bit i find i adjust the backrest recline slightly and it fixes it...for about 10minutes.

[Glide_GTI]

Uhm, accidently put my keys through the wash... worked for a little while but now its dead, recon I should try get a new one under warrenty?

[Ben_GTI]

My seat squeeks and the back passenger side brake caliper sticks so the car squeeks when I first move off and when I turn corners.
