New Polo problems - Register

What problem is that?? I get that sometimes..

its not a problem, thats the gearbox or so the Service Crew say bwahahaha.

I was in a rush to pick it up so I didn't go into detail with them to find out if it's the aircon or fuel; they just said they're ordering a new pipe. Apparently it's the VW reccommended fix as new cars are being manufactured with a different pipe, so might be worth asking if you can get a replacement rather than just having them bend the pipes. I'll post a decent description of what they replace when I get it fixed.

FYI: The rattle I'm getting is the one people have mentioned when the car is warm and you're accelerating from a still start or driving up a hill. It's behind the drivers side of the dash and is getting louder as the weeks go on No issues with changing gear.

Thats the sound im getting.

Is it a rattle or a squeak?

I test drove the polo gti 3 dr, and the door was rattling when you go over bumps.

I get like a rattle sounds like the DSG is finding the right gear for the low speed im doing on the speed hump, no idea.

77tsi auto developed a nasty rattle at on idle coming from the driver side dash/firewall area. I had a look and it was clear that it was the fuel lines vibrating in the chassis rail. Took it to the service centre and they replaced the fuel lines (at least they said they did). I know someone else mentioned the same problem in this thread and they just had the lines wrapped to stop the rattling. Either way since then so far so good.

Picked up my new polo 77TSI Manual on Saturday. On Sunday i was on the freeway for the first time putting the car into 6th and...nothing 6th gear wouldn't engage! so i just took it back to the service center about 2 hours ago, they took it for a drive and they were able to engage 6th a few times but it was slipping out the rest of the time..... not happy. day 2 of a NEW CAR and the gear box of all things ain't working.

I've been given a replacement car and i should have it back today, but i'm not happy any thoughts on what i should say to the dealer?

I wouldn't describe the rattle as serious but the missus car at very slow speed/coasting has a slight rattle you hear when the windows are open. Sorta like the sound a twin plate clutch makes? I figured it was the DSG engaging/disengaging.

Thanks for fixing it? Not like they broke it or knew about it?

LOL Good call! Just be glad that you're getting any issues sorted out early...
