Daam It was Cold this morning !!! 4 degrees

[MR-GTI]

Hey all...

I jumped in my car this morning to warm her up, while I was getting ready for work.After about 10mins, I jumped back in and started driving.

I noticed this funny symbol where the Clock ect.. is.
It baffeled me for a while, so I stoped and took a good look at it, it was in Temp mode and was displaying 4 Degrees..I'm like F@*K Me, I new it was cold, but 4 degrees...DAAAAMMM.

Now the symbol I was talking about was a little "SNOW FLAKE.." Now isn't that nice...These engineers at VW have to much time on their hands to design in such an Icon to be displayed. It stayed on until it hit 7 degrees.

I wounder what Icon comes up when it's extremly Hot..I have seen the temp get to 45 in the summer.

So to sum this up.... That is the lowest I have seen it.
Whats the lowest or highest you have seen it.

PS..I live near Castle Hill in Sydney.. not in the mountains or any remote area..

Regards MR-GTI

It was 7.5 when I was turning onto the M2 this morning. Damn 2nd gear just disappears so quickly when its cold.

The 'snow flake' is meant to be a black ice warning i believe. When I first saw it I thought it was very thoughtful :)

I always see it on the way home from work (5-6am)... I think the coldest I've seen it is 2 degrees, but not sure...

Ive never seen it :(

VW have had this feature since the Mk4s were released and comes on at 4 degrees to warn of possible ice on the roads.
Was 10 here today this morning but I loooove the extra power in the cold weather!!!!!!:D

I was going to test people's knowledge and ask how many had heard and knew what the 3rd "Bing" warned of, but now you know.:) As well as the snowflake, you should also get the same audible warning as for the fuel light and the TPMS light :cool:

Now i'm curious to see this alledged SNOW FLAKE. Can't wait for a really cold day now :D

[ryan_GTI]

won't be getting that in brissy

Does anyone know how much diff the intercooler makes ? Its clear just how much the Polo (any turbo for that matter) loves the cold air, there would have to be some good benefit in this.

[Glide_GTI]

I hate winter.... until I drive the polo :?

[Kai]

Ill be doing myself an intercooler in the next few weeks.

Just have to find the right cooler.

It just means its cold n icy outside!!! 4 deg or below normally, its not a VW thing its on all Opel (Holden) Astras & Barinas (pre-Daewoo) as well....

[Funkdancer]

Mine seems to just bloody love it. Absolutely ripping performance when cold... very sensitive to throttle input.

... then after a while sort of loses this very delightful edginess??

Might have to look at an airbox and/or FMIC.

Temp gauge showed 4c and the frost symbol, only left at 8:05. The engine might love it cold, however _I_ loved the seatwarmers. Brrrr. :)

[Shade]

AH-HA! 2.5 degrees this morning, finally got to see the snowflake, it also beeps / dings when it comes on. And yes my pogo loved the cold morning (me not so much) :D

[SoVeReIgN]

I want my car back :(

I used to look forward to the snowflake whenever it started to get cold.
