Volkswagen Polo Club

My Daughter has a 2018 Polo SE, recently the nav screen has started freezing and image jumping around. Is this a known problem or could it be a software issue ? Thanks

Does any one know the part number for front and rear mud flaps to fit the new POLO GT BLUE. VW UK confirm that you can get them specifically for this model different because of modified sills and rear end, but will not give them out you have to go through VW agent. I have tried and they cannot identify them. Any help would be so much appreciated.

Hi, I’m looking to buy either a new Polo SE or the Beats model. Going for the DSG gearbox too. The only thing worrying me is the light interior on the Beats. I think it will show dirt and scratches easily over time. Any opinions on the beats interior? Thanks

Hi the name is Andy and I am new to this forum. Not new to VW however, I have had Golfs and an Eos before having a string of four Mercedes. I have just swapped my 2017 C Class for a 2020 Polo GTi Plus. Why ? I have had enough of Mercedes size bills. My last service on the MB was over £1,000. The latest issue was a Nox sensor, also around the £1,000, it also needed a new set of tyres all round so good bye another £800 or so 😒 The Polo is a very different car but after a couple of weeks with it I am loving it. 🙂

Hey, my girlfriend recently got a new clutch done on her 2012 polo, and it has started making a clunking/ grinding noise when the clutch pedal is not engaged and the noise stops when the clutch pedal is engaged, i was thinking that it could be a input bearing in the gearbox(more then likely wrong) or the mechanic installed the clutch disc or flywheel incorrectly and didn't use an adjustment tool. Just posting if anyone has any ideas, thanks

My petrol flap wont open, I'm using my spare key manually which has no battery, could this be the reason why the petrol flap wont open. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks

HELP - I'm a pensioner living in Leicestershire with no real knowledge of motors. I have a fairly rare 2008 POLO 1.6 SPORT (FSi). The rectangular back exhaust box is beginning to age and will need replacing soon enough but the prices I am being quoted are prohibitive (are they gold plated ?). Any ideas where I can look for "alternative" parts ? Can "non VW-standard" parts be fitted ? Is going for a "custom made" stainless a possibility ? Any recommendations or ideas gratefully received. Thx.

I helping a friend with a problem with his carburettor on this Polo, its the 1050 engine 40 hp, it seems the rubber gasket under the carburettor is now leaking air, as we cannot get the engine to idle, it just dies. If I press down on the carb it will idle, so must be an air leak. I'm also looking a manual for setting up this carburettor, or the settings/adjustments its a Pierburg. There appears to be an adjusting screw where a vacuum line comes from the vacuum pipe to the brake servo, any help here would be useful please. Whats its purpose? Is it an anti run on devise? John

Hey everybody, hope you are all well. I am having an issue with my headlights.....essentially the lights come on in the daytime and I don't know how to turn them off. I am currently wasting a lot of energy with this issue. Does anyone know how to turn them off?

I have tried to look everywhere to see what air con gas goes in my 2017 Polo Match. Can anyone help as guide say look under bonet and there will be a sticker with code number on. Not in my car.

I have a 2009 1.2 polo match (N9) If it starts it runs v.well but sometimes it just won't start it's had new spark plugs and a coil no codes or errors are displayed no dash warning lights. Fuel pump working. we checked earthing points and cleaned. we inspected connectors to ecu and found them to be clean. On assembly we tried to start and it did. worked for a couple of days then not starting again. It hasn't stopped working when the engine has been running and no symptoms when driving. Any ideas and does anyone know where all the earthing points are. Oh yes we did take all the plugs out and there was no spark so we think it must be some sort of electrical issue So hoping…

Hi all, I am trying to find a radio code for my sons VW Polo. Its a gamma unit with serial number VWZ1Z3Y5006905. If anyone can help i would be much obliged.

Hey. Purchased a Polo Blue GT last November, brand new. For about two months now I get no radio reception what so ever. Got told by a technician at a VW garage this was common amongst the Polo's. A software update was done and nothing has changed. As well the radio tends to freeze, been doing it since purchase. Any feedback will be appreciated. Cheers.

Hi all, I suspect that the Vivo is not for sale in the UK but please read on just in case.... Long story short, some moron (i.e. me) tried to clean some old adhesive off this plastic panel using (acetone free) nail polish remover. It has obviously ruined the plastic on this panel as you can see in the attached image - It looks worse in real life! My question is whether this panel (not the light switch) is a replaceable / removable part and if not - any suggestions on how to make this look less terrible? e.g. sanding it down, some kind of lacquer.... I am pretty clueless with this kind of thing. Thanks in advance, DL

Hi VW club, I'm currently experiencing a clunking/rattling noise coming from the rear of my VW polo. Below are two images of each rear side. Would this be the reason for the noise? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XGhMrZiEzlYjv7qMYZLg2Yg828pPqcrv/view?usp=drivesdk https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XCcteTqA7Jw-uPtRYunlQRxxdwsnCsy8/view?usp=drivesdk

I have a car as above. In periods of rain, when I open the rear passenger door, water gushes out! There is slight dampness inside on the floor-well in the corner close to door and seat. Any ideas?

Hi there :). I have a polo mk 4. The rear wiper on my polo isn't working. It's had a new motor but still won't work, so i suspect the stalk or, god forbid the wiring somewhere. I've also checked the fuse which seems good. The washer on it works ok and the front ones are fine. Before i go and purchase a new switch, can anyone else who'd had a similar issue advise me at all please ? TIA Debz

Has anyone had a tow bar retro fitted to a Mk6 Polo at an independent company (ie TridentTowing). If so, does the tow bar interfere with the parking sensors?

The new polo blue GT is a great car the infotainment with dab radio very good, I would like to retro fit a VW Sat Nav whilst retaining the other features. Any ideas would be most welcome along with what is involved in fitting and costs. Thanks
