I'm confused, the mechatronics is a sealed part in which the mineral oil is 2 be used. I.e. it comes filed already. The transmission is filed separately with oil...quietdevil wrote:dalesmobileR wrote:How did you know the oil used was not mineral?
The polo comes with a synthetic transmission oil. The recommendation after the mechatronic issues was to change to mineral oil, Confirmed it after the change with the invoice and by a transmission specialist.

There was a recall/service campaign to change gearboxes filled with synthetic oil to mineral oil. Synthetic oil was found to damage mechatronic units.
The poster who paid to have it changed should not have paid a cent. Best Auto changes it for free. It’s VW’s mistake. Not the owner’s.

I saw it as part of maintenance so I paid for it same was as you pay for an oil change. Plus it was after 4 years and as anyone knows with Bess Motors is stress to get anything from them.

I have always gotten good service from BA from salesman to service to out of wawarranty service. I love my Polo...I just want to know what is the real deal with my mechatronic issue. I need a long term solution. Car is doing 180k kilos. It's the longest I've ever kept a car.

I agree with that sentiment. My polo is my favourite car, ppl never expect that kind of performance from a little car. Mine is doing 90k, I stopped servicing with Bess because they were having problems getting suspension parts. I been buying parts straight from the UK and they direct ship to Trinidad. Hope you get through with the issue.
