Why not? The software update is specifically to correct a false neutral between gears issue that is due to sticking valves in the DSG when the vehicle has been sitting idle for some time. It happened...
Have you considered selling them individually. There may be lots of 6R polo owners like myself who are looking for one rim to match the four on the car so that we can get rid of the standard steel...
Not likely to be covered by warranty as it is usually caused by getting the rotors hot from hard use and then getting them cold quickly by splashing water on them / driving through water.

Battery didn't fix it and Red LED does NOT work.
Wonder if this one will be covered by warranty? I bet they claim you don't need it to get into the car!!!
This one has me stumped. My usual fob key stopped unlocking / locking car and open boot function doesn't work either. Also no flashing of indicators.
Once inside car fob key starts engine fine so...
Yes, but was at 3 years and 9 months when she died, so no roadside assist.

I think you will be OK. When mine died the reason quoted was "Carried out TPI. Found the current part number on the injectors is incorrect". They were replaced with part number VW03G130073TX which is...
I was recently in a similar position (Injector failure). I have extended warranty but I thought that VW roadside assist ran out at end of 3 year warranty and was not extended as part of the extended...
Thought I had dodged a bullet until mine just died. Started normally and idling for 15 seconds while I put away the sun shade. Minor engine shudder and stopped and would not start again. Felt just...
My Polo uses heaps of oil, it burns about 6 litres per 100 Km.:banana:
You watched the trailer for the remake of "Footloose" movie. The car repair stuff.......well you needed to scroll down.:facepalm:
[QUOTE=Radius;719493]Hi everyone,
We've just had our 30000km service and the dealer's flagged our tyres as needing replacement.QUOTE]
This seems to be a standard dealer thing if the shoulders...
Running it in - use the torque hard while low in the rev range and short shift into next gear early to repeat the hard acceleration. Do not rev it to high RPMs until well and truely warm and then...
Now that it is back in, do what I did and put in about an extra 10 pop rivets.
If the front scrapes too much for your liking then don't fit mudflaps. The standard ones are about 1-2 cm too long and...
Hey my standard setup looks the same with 10 bags of pool salt in the boot. I guess you have all that boot space and now cannot carry more than 2Kg :banana:
My pleasure as thats what this site should be for, not the pi$$ing contest that most threads deteriorate into.
To fit a towbar you WILL need to go genuine, the issue will be the electrical harness, and no-one does this after market. Expect to pay a small fortune.
The towing capacity that VW do not...
The only debadge / rebadge job I liked was a GOLF that had letters re-arranged to read FLOG. Actually not as easy to spot as reading it here suggests.
For those of you who don't have a free windscreen per year cover on your insurance policy please consider this:
1. The Pole windscreen is designated as a "restricted" part by VW. That means only...
You have a diesel so you know how they drive. The 60TDI is also great around town (750KM for my first tank around town).
I find it a much more appropriate car around town than my passat and the DSG...
Still available? Brand of tyre?. I am interested in replacing my speed restricted spare with a matching wheel to the 4 on the road. I hope you may be interested in splitting the set as I believe your...
My Passat "spare" wheel is a 5th alloy that regularly rotates with the other 4. AFAIK when looking at Jetta, its "spare" is a standard / matching tyre on steel rim and is not speed restricted.
