    I have a 2016 Polo 1.2 TSI Highline and I also had that error move to position P. Had to take a pic of the error message because nothing showed up on the car's logs when they plugged it in. thankfully it wasn't anything mechanical that needed to be replaced. I believe it was a micro processor of sorts. Problem solved after that and it was about a year ago since I last saw that message

    My go to advice to anyone who wants to buy a car. Don't buy a car with a dsg gearbox, you'll cry fourty days and nights. That mechatronic has always had an issue after 60kms. You'll go shoulders deep into your pockets in repair/replacement costs. Just avoid cars with a dual clutch gearbox. You'll be much happier.

    The estimate to fill up seems incorrect, my 2018 AW GTI costs R800 to fill up today but from Wednesday 1st June ( if petrol goes up by R3.50) will cost R1000-00 to fill a 40L tank.

    Bro, I own this car. With the current fuel prices, to fill up my tank, it comes it at 1150, you can expect to pay 1250 maximum. And that’s with our current highest fuel prices before the increase kicks in.

      @camrinpillay3127 2 роки тому +1

      Just to add, bro this cars a 55l tank max, 45l with a 10l reserve, so for this guy to be saying 1600 to fill up his tank, he must be paying R29.09 a litre for fuel? 😂

      @camrinpillay3127 2 роки тому

      @@bayandamokoena4882 none so far man, the only problem I’ve experienced is the waterpump/thermostat housing failing quite often due to it being made from plastic rather than cast aluminium. Also, if you keep the car stock, the gear box will last, however if you play with it, you’re messing with the torque load and that’s where failures occur

    I have the 2020 AW Polo GTI . The newer GTIs have the 6 speed wet clutch DSGs because the previous GTI. The 6c had the 7 speed DSGs which were dry clutch models. These DSGs had problems, they overheat because it's dry clutch. The 7 speed from the Golf GTI is wet clutch so it doesn't have this problem. The dry clutch is used in all tsi models and the 6c GTI. It's the main problem with this Era GTI. They rated for lower power unlike the wet clutch variants. Otherwise this 6C is a really great hothatch
