New Polo problems - Register

[Adam84]

Hi guys,

I've had my new Polo GTI for around 3 months now.

Unfortunately, I too have noticed the rattle/vibration which seems to be coming from inside the dash from around 2500rpm onwards. It's really quite irritating, especially if the radio is turned down.

Has anyone had any luck getting this fixed through their dealer?

Cheers,
Adam

Hi Adam, I think my car has the same annoying rattle under acceleration, I took it back to the dealer and they mentioned pulling out the dash to find/fix it. I don't have alot of confidence that it will be without some extra rattles/scratches when I get it back. Is your car an MY13?
Cheers

Hi Rob,

Mine's a MY12.5

Reading through some other threads it sounds like possible causes include the sound actuator or fuel lines vibrating under the dash.

I share your concerns as well. I'd happily take it to a dealer if they knew what the problem was rather than taking the dash apart to investigate!

Hoping someone can share a positive experience or point me in the direction of a good dealership.

Cheers,
Adam

Mines booked in for 25th October to have the dash rattle and oil temp issue looked at. Will let you know how my dealership goes with fixing the dash rattle. I'm not overly concerned because if they damage anything in the process, they will just have to replace it

Great, thanks mate.

Filled my 77TSI up with Shell 98 the other day, the car will idle rough at times and at its worst I can watch the l/100 counting up faster than usual just sitting at the lights. Seem to average 9/10 l per 100km in the city in moderate traffic now. VW have looked at this in the past and find nothing but recommend Caltex vortex which I usually use. I think its pretty lame that a brand new car is limited to one specific brand of petrol in Australia, I better hope Caltex don't change their blend.

It has to be something else, but that being said, I have had a lot of crap fuel out of she'll servos over 4 cars do this one, I only ever full up with BP ultimate.

[deanbox]

Funnily enough I get the best mileage out of BP ultimate, but still have issue with rough idle

[gavs]

Is it all the time or just on seemingly random occasions? It could be the catalytic converter burning off...

I only fill up with BP Ultimate also. Shell and Caltex are always too inconsistant I've found.

Found the weird squeek/thumping sound I've been having at slow speed, turns out a swaybar link pin wasn't tightened enough when the coilovers went in. Gave it a tighten and all's good
