New Polo Pics + Info

[Buller_Scott]

man, one time, i was stuck in inner suburb friday arvo melbourne traffic [where nothing moves because pedestrians have right of way with left hand turns, and everyone wants to turn left, etc etc, resulting in blocked arterial roads], my light had been on for a while, but i was just chewing through fuel going nowhere for like an hour and a half. i had to put $10 in at a united because it was either that or walk home.

i felt really bad for my car that day

[AMG63]

Test drove the 1.2TSI with DSG today. Great little car. Performance is decent. Have to love that turbo kick you get. One thing I did notice though was a bit of a rattle under hard acceleration. This may have been due to the fact the car had done only 40km's though? Still a bit concerning none the less.

I have also noticed this on the front right hand side when turning, even when I drive slow, I can hear some strange noise coming out from the susspension or steering. Ive done almost 1000km. I'm abit concerned, Has this happened to anyone on the new Polo or in the previous generation Polo?

Also when I released the brake, the Engine rev will increase all the suddent, im guessing because of Hill Assist, but it is abit too much assist for flat surface, and i felt the transmission is a bit rough, when the car is stationary before accelerate, not very smooth transition. Not sure if anyone noticed all the above issues I mentioned before.

Where can I find the current known issues for the new polo?

One last Question do I need to follow the run in procedure? wait till 1500km

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I am getting my Polo in 2 weeks so I can report back then. However it sounds like it would be a good idea to take it into the dealer to get there opinion. Please post back here to let us know what they say.

Thanks

Hi Billecartz.
You can't link to pictures on your computer, you need to upload them to an image hosting service on the internet and then link them here.
See the instructions in the announcement...
