Problem time

Evening all Thought I'd see if anyone could shed some light on an issue I had/am having. A couple of weeks ago on a Monday morning after not using the car over the weekend, my 160 was running really dodgy - no power, spluttery performance and hesitance on part throttle at low revs. On returning to t...

Re: 148-page Scirocco Portfolio on iPad

It's a bit steep, given its all repeat features. Will give it a go though.

One assumes that's the model designation, but is it the latest? It'll be brand new

Re: Thinking about a Roc as a replacement for my broken...

What was the case? :hyper:

What about switchable traction control? Can you turn it off on the 160s. You could with the Polo, but once again, have read too many conflicting facts.

Re: Thinking about a Roc as a replacement for my broken...

It's odd. I did try that and it wasnt listed as an option. Then on the overall specs it says not standard on the 122PS, which sort of implie that its standard on the rest of the range. Then you look at the standard spec and it doesn't seem to be listed on any of the models. :shrug:

Trying to find info on it seems that some say it does, while others say it was only standard for a short time. Not a deal b...

Re: 1.4TSI Oil Usage

There are quite a few of the Polo GTIs having engine replacements. I haven't seen my Polo GTI for a month now because of a DSG fault and it's unlikely I'll see it again, but I know that I was meant to be having a replacement engine too.
