Can it be an issue with the gear box or am I going wrong somewhere in my gear shifting?

hey dont worry....its takes some getting used to and before you realize it will be gone....right now the car is still new and settling in.Also,the shifts become smoother once the temperatures get higher(maybe say after 5km of drive).
I still face the issue especially while shifting from 1st to 2nd...but as i said its probably about getting used to it and its much better now than a month ago.
But if you feel the issue is terribly wrong then its best to get your doubt cleared by visiting the Service Station.
happy motoring..:thumbs up
Hey I bought my polo 3 months ago . There is rattling sound from both front doors whenever we go over some bump or pot hole. Is this normal?

Hey thanks for your reply. Maybe I need to observe for a few days before taking action.

Door rattles in the Polo are more or less unheard of. I've been driving a Polo for last 3 and half years and the car has been absolutely rattle free from Day 1. I would suggest to take the car to the workshop at Volkswagen Chandigarh in Industrial area phase 1. They do have some really good service executives and mechanics over there. I'm sure they'll be able to help you out with a solution for it.

Have you removed the door cards for replacing the speakers? I believe you were planning to upgrade the HU and the speakers some time back.

Yes I have removed the door cards but the rattling sound was there from first time I drove the car. The rattling sound resembles the sound of glass or a loose part inside the door panel.

Figured.
Please go to the service center and ensure that the door card clips are installed properly.
The clips have to be pushed back before fixing the door cards - if they are not done properly, the cards will rattle/vibrate. The cards can still be screwed to the panel using the 3 screws but this will not prevent the rattling.

Thanks gannu bhai for the suggestion. I would definitely visit service centre for the issue and provide them your input. But I have noticed the power window switch to be a little loose from inside. Is there a possibility that switch could be a possible culprit?
Secondly please tell me if I have a 087 series BCM then I only require stalks to be replaced in order to get cruise control functionality.

It could be but a loose switch won't make a rattling noise so obvious to you while driving.

One more thing is there the sound comes from both front doors.
Hello everyone ,
Booked a Polo TDI Highline exquisite edition today. VW as part of Volksfest are offering 55 k cash discount and 10 k exchange bonus. Should I look into any particular thing before taking delivery ? Any accessories I should take care of beforehand? Your comments would be very much appreciated.:)

Hi Sunil,
My car also had a similar rattling sound from the doors while going over bad roads. I tried the DIY fix mentioned in
this link & the rattle has almost completely vanished. It's a simple DIY & won't cost you much time or money. Do try it out.

Congrats for booking new polo tdi. Wish you a pleasant and happy ownership.
Yes there are quite a no. of things to look at before accepting delivery.
- Take a print out of Team Bhp PDI List http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/buying...heck-list.html.- This will help you a lot while inspecting the car before delivery. Please make sure you follow the PDI checklist.
- Go on a good sunny day for Pre Delivery Inspection and tell them not to do any 3M Coating etc. Do mention to wash the car before you check. Look out for any damage/ scratches to the body by minutely looking at the car multiple times.
- Check the VIN using the VIN Decoder https://www.team-bhp.com/advice/find...anufacture-vinavailable on the forum so as to make sure that you get a recently manufactured vehicle. Don't opt for a vehicle i.e. more than a month~45 days old manufactured.
- Close the doors multiple times firmly. to check any rattles or manufacturing defect. Also tell them to put the car on a lift so that you can check underbody of the car.
- Check the odo meter of the car. The reading should be below 30 Kms. Ask the dealership for the reasons if the car has an odo reading beyond 30 kms.
- As a part of the exquisite edition you'll be getting the black roof, scuff plates, seat covers, floor mats etc. from the dealership.
- As far as accessories for polo is concerned. You can really burn a big hole in the pocket if you want to lol:. You can go for things like armrest, boot light, glovebox light, navigation units, Automatic headlights, rear view camera, led headlights.
Just In 4 months time I have spent close to 2 lac for mods and ice upgrade. This car is a money pit but still its my darling.
Does anybody know the perfect size bottle that could fit the door bottle holders of new polo?

This is what helped me with door rattles on my Polo as well. The rattles were present from day 1 for me too
