Now I need some urgent help from you guys. My regular washing guy did a blunder today. He did not notice a small stone in the cleaning cloth and because of this there are very small scratches on the bumper and top of the car :( Please suggest me ways to get them removed or atleast make them less visible. They are very small scratches but lot of them!
Try car body polish. Apply it in a circular motion, leave it for a minute or more. Then wipe it with a clean cloth. It depends on how bad the scratch is. If it doesn't go, then I'm helpless [confused]!

Yes end of the day everything depends on your relationship with your dealer. Even if you are getting ICE installed from outside consult your dealer first and then go ahead. I got my ICE installed from outside and the warranty is still intact :D Alloys i'm not very sure about it...

Hi All,

Have been out of this forum for quite some time. Busy schedule so never got time to login. Have missed a lot of updates I guess..

Hi..PFA the remote lock pic.

Hi all,

Gave my polo for monsoon check up at around 10.30 and the vehicle was ready by 2 PM.

Very smooth experience, they showed each and every check done and the car was shining when I got it back :) Got a full wash done and interior was also cleaned very well.

Very impressed with the quality of service and that too absolutely free of cost and hasslefree. Had to sign a few forms that the check is complete which took hardly 2 mins and I took my keys and drove back home with a smile!

nice to know that you had a good experience. And free wash is also a good gesture.
Did you get an invite? I didn't get any.
Yes got an invite around 2 weeks back and also twice got a call from showroom to get my car. They also offered to fill Nitrogen in my tires but I had already got it filled with nitrogen when I got the wheel balancing done.

hai Your comments about the red beauty was mind blowing i am about to full fill one of my dream - my first car in the vw family
heard a lot about this red beauty. before reading this articles i was still bit confused whether i had to re think about the decision but now i guess no i had made it right
Since you guys are experienced and using it for a pretty long time please be free enough to advise
and most of my Friends are restricting me to get a vw since it doesnt have any free service (confirmed with the dealers ) and more over the maintenance cost is also too high.
awaiting your instructions

If you can live with the high maintenance cost. Then there is nothing much to worry about the car. Its performs brilliantly!

what is the update on the scratches buddy ?
Sorry guys have not logged in for ages now.Will be regular from now on.

Have ignored the scratches now as they are very minor.

Two updates to give.
1) Got fog lamps installed from outside.Will post pics soon.
2) Done with my first service,must say very satisfied.Detailed review on service will follow.

Good news is that they have increased the increased the front ground clearance for my Polo during service. The service guy mentioned something about the part which is included in the warranty and said this would increase the front ground clearance.

Yeah VW have introduced this Ground clearance process recently. Nice move by VW I would say.
How much was your service cost? Post in details as when you get time.
