As title, wondering who is the best to get warranty work/service done?
As I'll need the oil test done and Wakelings in Campbelltown are a bit far, I was wanting to hear people's experiences and reccomndations.
I also feel a bit bad asking them to do warranty work on a car they didn't supply.
We bought the polo from Klosters, but wife works in Cardiff and there is a new dealer there.

That's great to know, new to VW and still working out their foibles!
How are you with Amaroks and coding?

Don't feel bad about asking a dealer who didn't sell the car to do warranty work. You paid for warranty when you bought the car and the dealer is paid for warranty work by VWA. The dealer does not lose money doing warranty work and should see it as an opportunity to win your future servicing work.

Coding is not usually a problem if we have info for the changes.

It's daft things like coding the instrument sweep when turning ignition on. And I think you can turn the fog lights on when turning. Nothing urgent though.
Polo is the priority at the moment.

Ok, get the Polo sorted,how much oil is it drinking?

At least a litre in less than 1000kms.
My father in law panicked when they were down in Sydney last Monday and put in 15w40. To bring it back up to the level. Took over a litre, but he over filled it. I've got the castrol factory spec to put back in. I'll do that this week. He is eighty and still thinks oil is just oil. My wife uses the car to go from Caves to Cardiff weekdays for work, so doesn't do a big mileage.
When you give it full throttle it leaves a trail of dark smoke. I had a look at the rocker breather pipe and it was clean. It's a CTHD engine which I thought was the modified engine.
My father in laws Golf has the same engine and hasn't used a drop since new 6000ks my Roks the same no oil used 8000ks.
We love the Polo, reminds me of my old Alfasud Ti. Compact and sticks like glue. Just much better build quality.
