New Polo problems - Register

[gavs]

The missus vrs took off weird, its like the clutch didnt fully release inbetween 1-2 and 2-3. today driving took off at lights normally.
I think it was 2 to 3rd but revs went up to about 3rpm but it felt like the revs kept on rising and gear change took good few seconds.

Also going up the driveway its bit shuddery and you can hear the clutch clicking constantly..

Whats the exact symptons of worn clutchpacks?

Shuddering is clutchpacks, reluctance to change gear and idiotic gearchanges could either be software (unlikely) or mechatronics unit(likely).

Is the car covered under the recent recall?

The recent heavy rain has identified a fundamental flaw in the door seals of my Polo...

After parking my car outside all day whilst at work, I noticed this when I returned in the afternoon.



Directly below the leak in the door seal was a small puddle on the floor mat.



Has anyone else experienced this? Looks like another warranty visit to the 'stealership' is necessary.

Tighten up the striker plate on the B pillar and perhaps adjust the hinges

I'll tell service that

Suffered the "Check Engine" light on Saturday. "Reduce speed and drive to your nearest service centre" per the manual.
After being told by my local VW that they couldn't fit me in for another week, and the VW local to my work "How's February" I took it to my local dealer yesterday, and got it back that afternoon.
"Needed a software update" TPI 2030355/1 - whatever that is.

Today I read Teslas are getting software updates over-the-air. That would be nice. Hell - I'd like "Check Tyres" to tell me WHICH tyre to check

Easy, fill all four tires to 36 PSI drive around and if it happens again take it to your local tire shop preferably Bridgestone / Beau Repairs as you may have a nail / puncture that may need plugging

No what I think he is getting at is that when the TPMS is set off it just says "check tyres". Now considering the computer gets its info from the sensors in the wheels it should be able to say "check front left wheel" or somthing like that.

I have the indirect TPMS and when that trips a fault in VCDS it has the same fault - though the way the system works it should be able to alert you to which wheel is low.

Thought i'd log what's going on with my Polo, as this is a 'Register'

1. Drivers door has stopped unlocking, forcing me to crawl over the passenger seat to enter my drivers seat.

2. Door seal leaking during the rain... VW could not replicate the problem (100mm of rain) so that it couldn't be fixed.

Dropped it off at VW today, my car stayed there from 7.30am, I rung at about 2pm to see how it was going, even though I was told i'd be receiving a call as soon as a verdict was made. "We have nailed it down to the mechanical or electronic failure of the driver door lock and it needs replacing."

I responded, "Well replace it?"

The tech replied, "The part won't be here until the New Year"

I haven't picked up my car yet, I'm sitting at work very very frustrated at the fact I'm forced to crawl through my lovely clean car to drive it...........

This is Holden all over again.

Same issue here. My drivers door was leaking during all the heavy rain that we've had. I'm going to call the stealership and book it for a warranty job, tomorrow.

Good to know that I'm not the only one with a leaky drivers door seal.

No sensors in the wheels. It uses the abs sensor to determine difference in wheel speed. When the pressure In a wheel drops about 8psi its enough of a difference in circumference to detect and it flicks the light on. So it's not stand alone and would take them more time and money to write in the programming to display which wheels flat. Hence the cheap light system.
