LOL

[Ted_v2]

What milage did those two failures happen at?

[A33_VQ35]

And just like that it start back working..

Yeah, mines come n goes everytime I start the car. Guy @ best auto says there's a high n low horn. If the high not working the low works n it sounds weird. Or sometimes doesn't work at all till I restart.

He's stocking horns so I guess it's something that's comin up now.

[nivek]

Good info...will monitor what's happening

[drchaos]

Seems like mechatronic problems are a thing of the past! ... When you see men complaining bout their horn not working then you know things not so bad anymore!

[fastredcar]

Hahaha..yuh know

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

Now that you guys talking about horn mine had horn issues too. One of my horns would work intermittently. That started up in the first year of ownership. Started working together again after the fourth year.

Yeah I think men who changing them now never changed at all. Those who changed running smooth...

[Monk BANzai]

so it safe to buy one now then?

[drchaos]

Go strong ... and the lower price point from when we beta testers bought around 4 to 7 years ago means you can afford to replace the horn multiple times if it goes bad.

[fastredcar]

Hahaha..yeah man..true dat eh. Go strong..

If you buy cater for a few things. Headliner could fall. Mechatronic could have to change. Find out if BA did the recall on it. 90k is a Bess price considering they went for 230-240 back then.

Hi folks,
I have a 5+ year old 1.4 Polo non-turbo. Mechatronic was changed on warranty after 2 years and again last year on the 5th year (goodwill). Less than 4 months and it failed again!! I thought this Mechatronic issue was sorted out years ago?

[A33_VQ35]

U probably have a different issue, wat is the code thrown? Wat model transmission u have?

Carry it back best Auto if you can. Should still be under warranty after the goodwill change.

[dalesmobileR]

it's there.

Have the same model, mine was changed after 4 years on goodwill but I realized they did not change the oil to mineral oil. Had to pay to get that changed, no issues after.

[dalesmobileR]

How did you know the oil used was not mineral?

[quietdevil]

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.
