Polo Problems & Fix Register

[Wand Weaver]

I had this too but happened every 5000k and took my car in the vw ro find a hair line crack in the radiater all fixed under warrenty.

Anyhow, picked up some G12+ and a bottle of demineralised water (yes, I'm being pedantic!) yesterday afternoon. I'll be monitoring this pretty closely - I suspect it might be something to do with me getting stuck in absolute gridlock last weekend (roadworks) for about half an hour, if not more.

Does any1 else get squeeky/noisy front seats? i've had the dealer replace the back support thing and the noise still came back, lubing only cures it for an hour...

Yes, my seats squeak a fair bit i find i adjust the backrest recline slightly and it fixes it...for about 10minutes.

Uhm, accidently put my keys through the wash... worked for a little while but now its dead, recon I should try get a new one under warrenty?

My seat squeeks and the back passenger side brake caliper sticks so the car squeeks when I first move off and when I turn corners.

Thought I might add my current, and really only, drama with the car.

Late September I noticed a leaky patch under the car after a good drive. Took it to Seb and saw a bit of a leak, but didn't have any more leaky patches. 2 weeks after that I had a Engine warning light come on. I had Denlo check it out and found a faulty Oxygen Sensor. After lots of travelling for work, I was able to get it done today. However they re-checked the leak and found the Radiator is leaking, so they have to keep it overnight and replace the radiator tomorrow.

Now done bout 55,000km, over 18 months old.

Ok well now I'm really not happy. My Exhaust warning light has come on AGAIN. The apparent fault was the Oxygen Sensor, and this was replaced on Monday. I picked it up yesterday after the radiator was replaced, and now the light is back on

So was it the Oxygen sensor they replaced?

Hello,

I've posted before, and it was OK back then, despite the "accident" where some idiot backed into the front of the car. I had the following complaints and decided not to post until I finally got the "shaft" from VW and couldnt go any further.

1) Car hesitates whilst idling sometimes, with, or without a hard drive, mostly warm, with, or without APR flash turned on.
2) Front seats get a wierd squeak/squeek.
3) Interior I sware is 50% noisier than when I bought it, possibly more.
4) Drivers side door had rattles like a banshee.
5) Dash(in that non-slip bizzo) has rattles like #4.
6) Myraid of other rattles that have driven me past mental over the past 8.5months.
7) Think I can hear that gearbox problem starting.

So, the summary, walked into Subaru, asked what I could get for my car VS MY08 WRX. Ended up getting more for it in TRADE-IN than I paid for it.

Yeehah.
