Polo production plant

[Bassik]

Not sure if anyone has seen this but I stumbled across it today, there are a few more too but interesting to see. Still reckon they should have included an over hanging unit for your sunglasses. How can they let that pass.... ridiculous if you ask me.

Wow, that's pretty interesting! I know the GTI is made in Spain... Guessing this is the factory our cars were made?

[alexaescht]

Wow that's really amazing.

See all those polos in the background. Yet the wait was so long. And it not the only polo factory. I call shenanigans.

Was disappointed to find that despite the German WV VIN, that the car was made in Pamplona

Some of those robots looked very human-like.

Pamplona is a great plant, and the GTIs seem to have a much better record for build quality than the ones from the South African Plant

My 77TSI was built in South Africa

The Passat was Emden in Germany

Nice robotic chair there that swings inside the car


I'm always amazed at how quickly parts of the car fit together inside the factory compared to how long it takes me to pull things apart and reassemble when retrofitting extra options.

I wonder which one of those muppets was having a siesta at his/her station & didn't finish putting all the fasteners in the engine bay mentioned here Missing nuts in engine bay?

I looked under a few 6R Polo bonnets now and so far only two in seven have had these fitted at the factory, and that's between a mixture of MY12.5 & 13 models, both Spanish & South African. I know that these aren't load bearing or have a great deal of function, but It's a little disconcerting that QA have left something so blatantly obvious missing, what about the stuff that we can't see?
