    Volkswagen Polo 2013: Broken gearbox
    Answered by Graham Smith · 9 August 2018

    It is unusual to have to replace a manual gearbox at any time, but to have to do it at just 199,000 km is unacceptable. Take it up with VW and see if they would cover at least part of the cost of the replacement.

    Volkswagen Polo 2013: Why is my GTI going into limp mode?
    Answered by Graham Smith · 16 March 2018

    Volkswagen Polo 2013: Wiper skipping and shuddering
    Answered by Graham Smith · 8 January 2016

    It's usually because the wiper blades are not flipping over as they change direction at the end of the stroke, so they're effectively travelling at the wrong angle to the screen. Check the arms to see if there is a reason they are not flipping over. Did you use VW blades when you replaced them? If not try the factory blades. You could also try cleaning the screen and then using something like Rain-X.

    Volkswagen Polo 2013: Wheel hub rust
    Answered by Graham Smith · 12 July 2013

    It sounds like the sort of surface rust that can happen during shipping or while the vehicle is in storage before it's sold, which can sometimes be months. If that's is the case then you really haven't got anything to worry about, but if you are concerned then get your dealer to explain to you what causes it and why it shouldn't be of concern.
