New Polo problems - Register

Sounds like it has glitched and won't disconnect the device. I would say just disconnect the car battery and leave it for 30 mins or try resetting the MDI to factory defaults (though I'm not sure how though).

Ok I'll give it a try.

Thanks

It decided to fix itself overnight. Strange. Well I'm not complaining...

[nomadx38]

The relay probably timed out and reset it or something along those lines. Either way good to hear!

Would you know if there is a TPI for the seat squeak? Or any more info on it? Part number etc?

Hey mate, part number is: VW6R4881106P.

Hate posting in here LOL!

Coming up to my 30k service in a year love driving this machine BUT...

Has anyone ever had a low speed (20KM/h) coasting - car jolting experience?

This morning on the Eastern Fwy, I was just coasting along behind another car in manual mode, gear 1. I took my foot off accelerator and at that point (gear 1 still) the car begun to lurch i.e. kangaroo hoping, revs fluctuating. It seemed that the clutch didn't know whether or not to engage or disengage.

Mechatronics on way out experts?

Don't drive it... call VW Assist.

Yeah i get this too Eddy, hoping the recall sorts it out.

I'm going to say its "NORMAL" (but not how it should be).

The only reason I say this is becuase I have had 3 mechatronics units installed and they all do it (pretty much as soon as they were installed) so its not the mechatronics. I think it's software related or somthing not talking properly.

I usually just tap the accelerator or the brake and it stops it.

This morning on the Eastern Fwy, I was just coasting along behind another car in manual mode, gear 1.

Could it be because the speed (20km/h) is around the RPM when the throttle overrun cutout turns the fuel back on ? You did mention you took your foot off the accelerator.

What does the car do when you leave it in D and get down to those speeds and let your foot off the accelerator?

[fastlane]

Well I never had the chance to try put it in D mode while this was all happening. Within maybe 5 seconds - (just enough time for me to figure out wtf was going on) without me doing anything, it returned back to normal. I bet my balls that the car was engaging and disengaging the clutches, can replicate the exact behaviour in a manual car.

I don't know if it's because the mechatronics or otherwise could be worn out or was too hot - all I know is this occured after 10-15mins worth of stop/start driving (which has never been an issue).

I'm going in for a service and already flagged it. Burwin have told me they'll look into my DSG (as well as my cold start rattle - camshaft positioner).

MY12.5's fall outside of the recall so this shall be interesting!

Thanks folks!
