Quote from Spacefly: I definitely don’t want to blame VW for the lack of error, because I have a few problems with the polo myself. But it’s not much to say either, in my opinion. Because the formula is quite simple: If I produce 10 x as much as a competitor, then 10 X would be as good as the competitor (even if that shouldn’t be/should be 1. What is your relationship with the car? Drivers are users or builders, car mechanics/masters or a 2. As already mentioned, I drive as a breakdown truck driver and tow truck driver at the ADAC. For 5 years. 3. I have already worked with all manufacturers, including several half-timbered workshops and I know technical flaws no matter which car brand. I can say that after 16 years of experience. 4. If 7-10 times as often VW vehicles drive on the road as other brands, why does the ADAC drag mostly only VWs because of technical de feksts ab und keine Nissans, Mazdas, Toyotas, Hondas? Even if you put 5 different manufacturers against VW VW has won the race on the tow truck. Especially if you look for what reason a Fzg is towed. The whole Japanese drive with us mostly after accidents, maintenance jams (weary parts: e.g. clutch, brake, etc.) or because of tire damage without replacement. 5. There are even cars that are not even towed in the first 7 to 8 years. If you think because everyone suffers from it and stays on his chassis or with the same constucteur, then you can’t know that either…. Greetings Panner driver from Cologne

Hello, I ordered my high up at the end of October 2011. Since it was not yet available for touch, but only on photos, I had to order it for configurator. That was not a problem for me at first. I ordered it in red with red dashpad and grey-red seat covers. These were front grey red and back grey red. When I picked up my up in February then the right seat colors were in front, but at the back he was suddenly only grey and no red was to be seen. I beanstantan I had ordered not only red headrests, but grey red seats. Here the photo was probably changed, which was just as I had ordered it before. The bottom line was that there had been a change and the vehicle was now only built like this and I was then also told by my car that it was not built like this and that the car had been built like this and that the car had been built like this. Two days after my complaint, the red headrests had disappeared from the configurator. Great! Is it similar to someone or has already had such experiences here? I don’t want to accept it like this.

Hello, so I read almost everything here with and at the moment I am relatively scared, because I read mostly a lot of negative about the UP!. I have also differentiated this, so the general VW critics and those who have no VW or UP! experience do not count. But I read here also much justified criticism in my opinion… Starting with faulty gearbox, probable humidity problems in the interior, probably lack of heating power, much too early maintenance intervals and w he knows what’s going on. I’ve already tried it myself and get my up! 8. KW probably and worse can’t come any more anyway because ic is currently driving a Ford fiasco… …but give me some nice positive things to report??? Very important: It’s not about the price-performance ratio that everyone needs to know with their wallet…

Hello! I am currently on offer for a high-up! with list price 16.269 Euro for my wife. About Meinauto.de I was offered almost 23% discount. In addition I got an offer of a local dealer over also just under 23%. Today I was with this dealer or a salesman and have with him times everything calculated. The end of the song were meager 11.5% discount. Like his colleagues on 23% did not come to him conclusively. Then followed the well-known complaints like little game It is clear to me that the dealer should not put on it, but that 11.5% of those already contain the promotional premium of VW are more than thin, I certainly don’t need to mention. That’s why I would be interested in whether it was just bad luck or what you can expect with an up! at the moment.

What about the reliability of the 3-cylinder engines that were introduced in the up? After all, they will soon also be used in the polo facelift.

Hi. We ordered my wife an Up!. In another forum I happened to come across the lights of the Skoda Citigo “Monte Carlo”. Does anyone know if these or generally the tail lights of a Citigo are compatible with an Up!? Thank you for your help.

Hello guys! I’ve had an UP since July 2012. Right after the first kilometers the good sometimes started to pull strongly to the left. But he only does this once in a while, then for weeks no more. Of course, the spook is over every time I’m in the workshop. Has anyone ever made an appointment with this fenome before? Or does anyone have an idea where the problem could come from? Greeting Manfred

I’m just about to upgrade the original Navi at a 2014er Up. I want to buy the Navi Unit from Ebay, but I noticed that the Navi is available from both Garmin and Navigon. Were both versions really installed in the Up or does one of them possibly come from the Seat? Oh yes: Does the arm fit from the FL Up into the bracket?

Hello UP driver, I’ve had an UP for 4 weeks, built in 2012. At the handover the footroom on the driver’s side was wet – I thought of the well-known problem “clogged processes in the water box” and didn’t think much about it. Now that it’s been dripping again and again in the last days and the footroom was always wet then, I looked where the water comes from. With some research I came up with the fact that it runs down at the driver’s side door seal – and from at the top. Once again, the panoramic roof, great – I thought. I looked a little bit further. I carefully pushed the seal between the roof channel and the panoramic roof blind to the side and I was scared for the first time. Apparently, the roof in the edge of the roof (“rain channel” from almost at the front of the windshield to the height of the panoramic roof. So really ripped up on the whole length with about 1mm gap. Whether the crack in the sheet metal (looks like this) or in a thin seal The car seems to be accident-free. Good 5 years old and 70tkm. I’ll get some pictures afterwards. I’m getting the crisis. My Lupo is 19 years old and has 255tkm on the hump and has never had problems with the freezing oil tanks except for the construction fault. Greetings, Siggi

Hello, I drove an EcoFuel EcoUp to the rehearsal, until now I am very satisfied. Also at 130km/h he drives pleasantly. 2 questions still: 1)The blue indicator light was on at first, also during driving, looked like coolant temp. light. Later nothing lit. Does that mean anything? 2)When starting (from the stand) the car has a slight starting weakness (say it takes 1 sec after clutch in until it starts, does that mean something? Is this normal? Maybe I have m I am not used to the car or to the game with clutch and accelerator pedal. Or does it lie down after a few hundred km, with the drive in? The car has had very little km on it. Another info: The car has a plastic cover in the front of the wheel boxes. Not at the back.
