Re: Ownership Review: Polo 1.2 TDI Comfortline (Diesel)
@polotdicl - I am from Lakdikapul. I got mine in May 2011 from PPS Hyd.The car is really fun to drive.Not done any mods.
Ad People I was thinking of Aftermarket Fogs and DRL's
Contacted a accessories shop and he was quoting Rs.4800 for the Fogs and 1500 for DRL's. He says there will be no wires cut.
Is it VFM ?
By the way giving my PoLo for 1st service Tmrw and the VW guys said it would b e costing around rs9800 and will take 1 day. There is some paintwork to do so might take more.

Re: Ownership Review: Polo 1.2 TDI Comfortline (Diesel)
Thanks Rightnow for the information on clutch. I have a polo 1.2l tdi which I have bought on 15th of April,2012. I have following queries:
1) The only vibration that I feel is (as you have said) a light press on clutch/at low rpm , specially with bare foot. Is that normal ?
2) With more kilometer on odo , will that decrease?
3) I see that you have a petrol polo , that means same vibration on clutch pedal is on petrol polo's also ? Have you got any chance to compare with diesel polos?
4) Do you have any chance to compare this vibration with other diesel vehicles?
Eagerly waiting for you all's reply.

Re: Ownership Review: Polo 1.2 TDI Comfortline (Diesel)
Slight vibrations could be felt on clutch initially but that is not something that has bothered me recently. Initially, I remember it used to feel bit too much on feet but it has surely gone down now after 8k on my ODO. Now its negligible.
It has also got something to do with proper driving position so that you feet it placed properly on clutch. My suggestion would be to wait for a few kms.
I am not right person to compare diesel and petrol, but Toughguy has already cleared that he doesn't feel any vibration in his diesel polo.
And bare foot will feel more vibrations in any car.
You must be kidding..

Re: Ownership Review: Polo 1.2 TDI Comfortline (Diesel)
After so many road trips my Polo deserves a good shower, so its time for cleaning my Explorer, i chose a shop near my home for this purpose he quoted me 200 bucks for external and internal cleaning and plastic and rubber polish.
My regular washing center was closed due to electricity issues, they charged me 100 bucks for this very same process.
So here goes my baby:
He vacuumed it first, though not very dirty from inside
Now she is ready for shower
Shower start, my car become quite dirty after so many trips so this is most welcome move for my Explorer-1
Explorer-1 posing at India gate parking, late night party for her
Out of curiosity i checked again the under seat of my Polo and found everything with top notch quality.

I have both petrol and diesel polo ,,and i can tell u that the vibrations in petrol vehicle are more when the car is in idle and it gets worse when the ac is on. I am talking abt the car as a whole not abt clutch alone
my driver seat has some signs of rust under the seat

Compare both the petrol and diesels at idle
@ToughGuy, you are lucky to find a place so cheap.
I got it for Rs 330 -/-
I want to find a place who just do a pressure wash from outside and dry the vehicle with a soft cloth for something around 50 bucks.
I see ur car lifted. Don't tell me that you got ur cars underbody pressure treated![[frustration]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Frustration.gif "Frustration [frustration]")

Re: Ownership Review: Polo 1.2 TDI Comfortline (Diesel)
Try at village shops on Najafgarh-Nangloi road you will find many cheap car washing shops easily.
Yes, already done that 3-4 times though no pressure washing for engine bay area, anything special?
You car washing pics was taken at Subhash nagar right![[roll]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Roll.gif "Roll Eyes [roll]")

Avoid the under body too, they say they have sensors and no vw dealer does underbody pressure washing along with engine bay.
Also seen some other forum, where one guy went to 3m and after the treatment the sensors got faulty

Re: Ownership Review: Polo 1.2 TDI Comfortline (Diesel)
I am not sure buddy. Inherently diesel should give more vibrations and noise than petrol but if you experience otherwise, you should get your polo petrol checked.
I have not seen any difference in car vibrations when AC is on. Everything seems to be normal even with AC at any level.
