New Polo problems - Register

[deanbox]

My 77tsi had a problem with stalling too that seem to resolve with a software update(it does exist).The car was much better but would occasionally idle rough altough it was much less than before the update. On dealer advice I switched to vortex 98 from bp ultimate and the car is almost perfect.

My Kutec Fiscon Bluetooth has decided to not talk to the car anymore. Phones still find the device, but car doesn't know about it. (No more menu in the MFD, buttons on the steering wheel don't work...)

Booked for a fix this Friday. I'm hoping it's just lost it's coding...

Mine did that within the first week. Dealer fixed it but didn't tell me what the issue was!

Driving along yesterday the EPC light came on and throttle became unresponsive. Pulled over switched off and switched back on and then light was gone. Took to dealer today said there was something wrong with wastegate actuator and replaced a part and also did a software update. Hope all is fine now

Known issue mate, good to see they sorted it quickly

Hey JexL,

My Polo TSI (done 18,800 km), the EPC light turned on while going up hill and the engine just felt exhausted like an old man going up the stair case. Apparently i lend it to my colleague while i was in overseas and did the same thing going up hill.

Does anyone has a problem with this?

Since 2010, my Polo have problems such as:

1. The rattling noise - sort of fix.
2. The shudder from the clutch - got this replaced.
3. Now the EPC goes on and went limp mode twice.

I really wonder whether VW is a good brand at all since this is my first time.

I live in Melbourne, does anyone has a good VW service dealer that they recommended?

Well, the Canberra dealer says "Not theirs to fix, it's 3rd party..."

Hopefully the installer from Melbourne can arrange something. *fingers crossed*

Just take it to the dealer you got it from its all under warranty. Pretty dangerous issue to hAve lingering around if your ever like turning into a main road and like EPC light comes on that would suck

Did I mention my steering goes severely to the left? If you look at a clock and it's time, I'm driving straight 12 o'clock; I let go of the steering wheel doing 100kph on the fwy and I let go of the steering wheel it goes in the direction of 11 o'clock nearly 10!

Spoke to dealer he said bring it in at service but I want to take it in sooner. Again he babled on a torque steer, same non sense when I did a u turn and steering locked up.

Too much power for a Lil car and it's fwd configuration I say!

Matt...several reasons could be attributed to this. For starters:

1. Camber of the road
2. Tyre pressures (are they correct/even)?
3. Any cross-wind at the time of the 'test'

Torque Steer will appear when under hard acceleration (for eg). The car will want to pull left under acceleration...due to the increasing torque and load of the motor. Sounds to me like they didn't listen correctly to your explanation, if all they have to offer is "torque steer"
