Polo owners, do you know where exactly the engine number is located? Is it imprinted on the engine block somewhere?

My Polo does it too...I don't think it's a problem. I initially suspected that it was adaptive headlights, but I doubt it's a feature on the Polo.

Had something weird happen today, turned my engine off after I parked and then decided to repark, so I turned it back on and turned the A/C on, hot air (and I mean HOT air) started blowing, like the heater was set. The temp was only set at 22 degrees...but after I turned the A/C off and back on, it was fine.

Also got a rattle that sounds like it's coming from the dashboard/engine compartment on idle...brought it to the service center, they kept the car for a day and told me that they can't fix the problem, something to do with the turbocharger. I read about some owners in Australia who had rattling sounds with their Polos and the fix was to reroute some of the piping in the engine bay. Anyone else experienced the rattling sound?

Not a perfect car, but I still love it!

Yeah, I read that on the forum as well. Mentioned it to the SC, but I don't think he was really interested in my opinion on this.

Some of you probably know this already, but I stumbled upon this by accident. Unlock the doors with your remote key, then press and hold the unlock button for several seconds. All the windows will wind down simultaneously. To close, just press the lock button to lock the doors, release, then press and hold the lock button again and the windows will wind up. I think this feature is available on most VWs and Audis.

My first continental car too, although I did drive a '69 Mini Cooper for awhile, but it was my brother's, and it sure as hell didn't have a remote control or motorized windows!

I think you meant the other doors will remain locked.

Mine does that too, I tried pressing and holding the lock button on the remote while sitting in the car, as suggested by jwrx, but all it seems to do is to lock the door and activate the alarm (red light blinking). Care to elaborate a little?

Thanks!

As a few others suggested, I think it's the number of days til your next service. If you play around with the buttons, you'll see a little spanner icon, as pictured here. This screen shows the service interval (distance remaining til next service). I believe what you've posted here just shows the number of days, since the service interval is 15,000km or 1 year (365 days), whichever comes first.

I drive a Polo too and I get similar FC numbers, so not to worry. The advertised numbers are always based on ideal conditions.
