So what does it do?

You know that vent looking thing on the opposite side of the radio to the cup holder???



I'm guessing that it's just there to make it look symetrical and it has no function at all.

But if anyone has any other theories, then i would like to hear them!

Haha, its a ticket holder.

You slide cards into it....

time to whip out your driver's manual lol

Gee pretty wasteful (another cup holder would be better) IMO.

At last I know what it is

Infringement holder

Seriously - it's for parking tickets and suchlike, but I certainly wouldn't be leaving one in there in plain sight - even though the Polo's immobilised, it doesn't stop someone having a red hot go at trying to steal it.

As for a second cupholder - I suspect that another holder might foul the indicator lever when popped right out.

I'd wondered about that as well (I dont have a polo so cant RTFM)...

its for cup holder for left hand side polo~ there are oem right side cup holder available, but it might touch ur left hand when u drive. maybe thats why VAG didnt installthe cup holder on both side?

thats exactly the reason why they didnt put one there - i was thinking of getting one of those opposite side cup holders imported from a left hand drive country - and the salesman said that whilst it was in use how was i going to indicate my lane changing intentions ..... which made a whol load of sense

so for now the ticket and card holder will just have to remain

You're all wrong !! ..they're samari sword holders.

It was an inside joke planted by VW engineers - their way of poking fun at ricey blow-off valves and cough and splatter (laggy) turbos. true !!

I put my carpark exit tickets in there for easy access as security chases me out for having too much fun on a wet floor.

Fire sprinklers + painted carpark floor.... its just too tempting.

It's a casino card holder!! makes it handy for people to put their favourite casino card in for that quick and smooth transition between the holder and the parking machine...

the first polo I sat in at the bris motor show has cup holders on both sides...

Slightly different from the old topic but after all these years has anybody found something useful to do with the ticket holder?
