Although Bosch has not officially released Polo specific wiper blades yet, the ones available for the Palio / Indica / Indigo / Camry / Corolla / Innova fits the Polo comfortably.

Yesterday I measured the wiper blade size in the Polo which came out to be around 600 mm (24 inch) and 400 mm (16 inch) respectively for the driver side and passenger side. Went to the nearest Bosch service center and bought a pair of that size and got it fitted on my Polo. Part number 3-397-101-057. It is a perfect fit (though the driver side one is about 0.5 cm longer than the original one it is not fouling anywhere and running clean). The fogging is gone completely and the evening/night drives in rain has become a lot safer now.

The only issue is that the Bosch blades do not have the wind deflectors which are there in the standard ones. But it cleans so much better. It had rained on the day I had taken delivery of the Polo (back on Aug '10) and the fogging problem was there from day one with the original wipers. Now that is completely gone. The MRP is Rs 340 and you can get a 5-10% discount on that. I paid Rs 310.

I suggest all Polo owners who are facing the fogging problem to switch over to Bosch wipers (No, I am not a Bosch dealer ).

No body cover used & no water seepage noticed so far, despite open parking under heavy rains.

Thanks a million Anirban, for sharing such useful information in detail.

What a relief it is to know we can change these wipers. Will get them today itself.

So it'd be only for new owners right? Not existing ones? Also, I heard they are giving AMC with every new Polo!

Please ignore my previous post.

Just spoke to VW and heres what they have to say:

Standard Warranty - 2 years from date of purchase (on parts)
Extended Warranty - 2 years after the first term is over (on parts)
Charges for Extended Warranty = Rs.7,199/- for 2 years

Additional AMC for Polo 1.6 for 3 years is valid from date of purchase even if it is done midway but before completion of 1 year or 15000kms.

Charges for Additional AMC is Rs.19,900/- which inludes the cost of labor, oil & filter replacements for first year.

The new 3 year AMC is applicable to Polo 1.2 only.

Have requested VW to email both Extended Warranty & Extended AMC details ASAP. Will post once recieved.

Today while driving I had a power window problem. My driver side window was automatically going up and down After a few seconds it stabilized. Then I noticed the auto one-touch up/down feature wasn't working! Didn't work till the end of my journey(about 20kms). Then when I reached home, I tried rolling down the windows and voila, it was back to working again at one-touch!

Has anyone else faced this situation? Should I get worried? :P

Notorious power window problem in Polo. Something to do with the sensitivity of anti pitch mechanism. Nothing to worry.Mostly goes away after a restart or supposed to go away after one software update.

The available software updates for Polo are 57D7, 97U2, 97T9, 48I8. One of these resolves the Power Window problem. The issue was frequent with my Polo before the application of these upgrades, but post upgrade it had happened only once, that too for a very short while, in the last 3 months. I cannot rule out a real physical obstruction like some dust particle / stone chip / insect for this single occurance.

So the bug is still open. If VW followed TBHP, they would not need any testers to test the bug fixes. We are a bunch of dedicated testers for them.

I have a question regarding split rear seats. Those seats get locked behind by a mechanism and to fold it down you have to release the button next to the headrest, right? Cuz the rear seats in my car are not getting locked for some reason. They fold down just by a mild push. I tried a lot to make it lock to that hook behind but it isn't getting locked. Due to that, there is always a sound coming while going over rough roads. Any suggestions?
