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.
Volkswagen Polo 2008: Ongoing electrical faults
Answered by Carsguide.com.au · 5 April 2013
They have been able to identify faults, and should have a record of what they are, but it would appear that there is an underlying fault that is causing the problem that they have not been able to find. Continue to press the dealer and VW and ask for direct assistance from the company to resolve this issue. Other than that I would suggest you take the car to an independent service agent that specializes in VWs, one prepared to dig deeper, and have them go over the car for you.
Volkswagen Polo 2008: Electrical fault
Answered by Graham Smith · 29 March 2013
It apparently has an intermittent fault and while they can be hard to trace it is perfectly reasonable for you to want a solution. I would maintain the rage at your dealership, certainly seek advice from consumer affairs people, and keep pressing VW for a solution.
Volkswagen Polo 2011: Faulty airbag
Answered by Graham Smith · 29 September 2012
Having communicated with VW, and lodging a complaint with the Department of Fair Trading you have done just about everything you can do, other than take direct legal action. What you need to do now is be strong and persistent, and let VW know in no uncertain terms that you will not go away, that you want the problem resolved.
