Can you please share the check-up details.
3. That`ll be good and helpful for us Polo owners
4. Oops, me too, returned couple of days back. Visited the VW showroom at Alexandra road(?) (where they have other car showrooms too - VW, Volvo, BMW, Honda, Ford...). Looking at Scirocco I forgot checking for Polo accessories ![Smile](https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.png) This car look so HOT with those big alloy wheels. But disappointed to learn that even the Polo 1.2 comes with TSI engine, where as for us Indians its the very basic and Old spec Polo I guess !
5. Let me know, will be glad to meet you ![Smile](https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.png) |
Thanks AvonA7,
2. Compared to other Auto Security Alarms, this one sounds very different. We like the Pom Pom sound while locking and unlocking. The other day we went for a movie and there was this Vento parked next to our Polo. The Vento owner had just started his engine when we unlocked our car with the Pom Pom sound. The guy seemed so shocked and just stared while we drove away. Only-driver-side door unlocking is a useful safety feature indeed.
Check-up details: Just a general checkup of engine oil, radiator fluid, wiper fluid, tyre pressure, battery, air filter & pollen filter cleaning, etc., including a test drive for any other issues. Got a complimentary wash and was not charged for VAS features activation.
3. Just bought some anti-bacterial & anti-odor product to keep our Car AC as clean & fresh as possible. Any suggestions for more such products as there are rarely any for the purpose.
4. Guess we will have to be content with the pleasure of driving our Polo.
5. I have taken a weeks leave in the last week of December. Will surely keep you posted. Quote:

Also, ground clearance is quite low. the car scrapes many times to medium speed breakers, if speed is even moderately high(20-30kph). @AvonA7 & Omegaman, I am also in Pune. Like to meet in person too. Let me know. |
Hi nawalsingal,
IMO, Philips Xtreme Power bulbs are much better than Osram Night Breakers. Several reviews also point to this fact.
Ground clearance for Polo Diesel is really low. I have seen several Diesel Polo's with damaged engine sumps. The damage was not limited to just the Sump Guard but the actual oil sump cover under the engine. Not so for Polo Petrol models. The company is upgrading Diesel Polo's with a larger fiber sump guard instead of the standard soft fabric one. Wonder if it will help.
Sure, will keep you posted. Will be in Pune in the last week of December. |
