WHAT?? Does anyone know anything more about this. I don't think mine does this. Maybe just on later models?? Or is it just the smell from the concentrate in the washer fluid seeping into the cabin??

It's just the smell of the windscreen wiper solution coming through the air vents.

It does smell nice though. In fact, when I ran out, I bought a refill bottle from the service centre. I'll be damned if I'm going back to plain water.

I just went to take the rubbish out & couldn't help stay in the garage for that little bit longer, admiring my Polo, whos new car odour still makes the whole garage smell that bit better, one week later.

Y2008, is that a new Avatar? It's the corner of the car I was hoping to take for a future avatar of mine. Nice one, early bird.

hehe i wouldn't consider my self an early bird as there is prolly another 10 people with the same avatar. Just go for it

I love the idea of VW encouraging us to use the boosting potential of this car by including that tap-feature for the indicators which flashes them 3 times.

Not sure if I love the feature yet, because I feel like i'm cutting people off when using it. Just gotto adjust & time it right. I reckon if it flashed 4 times, it'd be perfect. Wonder if we can re-program it?

tap feature for indicators?,.............right back to the owners manual in the morning.

If you move the indicator stalk in a direction, but not far enough to make it latch, the indicator will still flash 3 times.

Great for cutting through traffic.

Hello everyone, New here and I am having a great time..

My first experience with VW dates back to high school in the states I had a 78 Rabbit, stock it was and the color... Well it was like a pastel green, but could it race, the streets and blocks where I lived always a tire squealing and the old girl usually won,....that was one fun car.....

Now 31 yrs on and I am feeling 17/18 again. I spotted this car on a small lot in the back of the lot in Melbourne and the rest is history, How lucky was I to find this Beauty. If only they made this car back then I would have never lost. So my history would be a long lost love afare with the VW Rabbit/Polo and I will never abandon VW again. (Teary)

Thanks for listening to my story and always remember......Your car will only be as good as you make it and with life being so short spend as much as you can to make it a good as you can......

Enjoy and be safe. ssman
