Hello, that the up-engines will soon be used in face-lifted polo was discussed here. I also found this message positive for up-drivers, because it means that Volkswagen has something to do with these engines. I have now found two more recent reports that speak for the polo of charged (90 or 110 hp) 1.0l three-cylinders:http://www.autobild.de/article/vw-polo-facelift-2014-4536001.htmlhttp://www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/…/…-inner-values-7194992.html If it’s true , this means that the small three-cylinder has a lot of reserves and potential and is used in various versions in different VAG models up to the compact class. And maybe a TSI is also available for the up. However, it would need a gearbox that would be designed for higher torque (and unfortunately not so light and compact anymore).

Hello together, my wife sometimes complains at the up! that her reversing headlight is a bit dark. Mostly only in our parking lot, because it is not really illuminated and is really dark. It is not bad, but with my Yeti for example, she finds this much better. I personally don’t feel it is very bright either, but let the car roll for example with a slightly grinding brake and it is already brighter. I already gave her the tip. It’s not bad as I said, but with other vehicles it’s sometimes brighter. It’s also not so bad that it would be worthwhile to carry out experiments (some modifications). I’ve already read something like this in the parallel golf forum. Analogous to the questions that came here to alternative light bulbs for the front lights, I would be interested if one of you tried something here. Is there a similar choice or experience for reversing headlights? Or could it be that she just caught a few darker pears? I mean to have seen one of Bosch at some point, which is from +10% brighter language. Do I have to look out. LED should not be allowed again in the area of STVO, right? The bulb for the reversing headlight should be BA15’s R10W 12V 10W, correct?

Good day, after three Fiat Pandas 1.2 (Bj. 2011, 69 hp) we now got a VW Up 1.0 with 60 hp as a delivery vehicle. Since I read a lot about the supposedly so quiet, comfortable and well mobile smallest car, I approached with a certain expectation attitude. And nevertheless was slightly disappointed. – Circuit: Amazingly tacky, switching recommendation completely senseless (uphill she recommends at speed 30 the here much too long 3rd gear), each gear is very long translated, transmission spreading unwise tig – engine: Due to the small engine capacity quite tough, very strange soundscape (sometimes funny like an old diesel engine or partly like a lawn mower), almost permanently snoring in sound and idle as well as when starting clearly vibrating, gas pedal very imprecise and appealing with strong delay – driving comfort / suspension: chassis tough, steering comparatively difficult, driving noise not very quiet, brakes however very good in effect and good Dosable – Bodywork: For such a small car quite confusing, but with very good fittings (e.g. levers for turn signals and other knobs, nicely made and pleasantly high-class snapping), windscreen wipers with very good wiping field, tachometer considerably too small, window lifter not operable from the driver’s side (an error without any logic), the huge doors close hard, seats comfortable and large So this car ranks on a good average, also we Every Italian or Japanese with four-cylinder cars, on the other hand, is driving around worlds of adults (and also a VW Polo from the 1990s).

Hello, where is the problem of bringing an UP! or cross-up! as diesel? All the most impossible and absurd models for any niches are now thrown on the market. But an UP diesel does not come, although not so few diesels were sold by the Fox. What reasons does that have? – Supposedly the UP diesel is not worth for the customer. But can not be an argument, as this would apply to over 50% of all car models. – Many drivers drive at least polo or should go to the grei Who says that? Shouldn’t the decision be left to the customer. There should also be people who drive diesel on the basis of better torque and not for economic reasons. – Are there any arrangements to leave this niche to the Fiat Panda? I don’t understand. Greetings

Hello dear motor talk community, I have a question about radio reception. I have had a VW UP for 2 months! White with 6 speakers and the standard radio. From the beginning when I listen to radio (and the stations are also set with the correct frequency) I have no clear sound. Do you know how it is when you are on the highway and the transmitter slowly disappears. This noise in the background, or when there are sound fluctuations – or a noise can be heard briefly. It hears Just look at it as if the transmitter was not set correctly – and that for all channels. Especially on the highway or higher speed the problem is extremely noticeable. My car salesman didn’t notice it until he listened properly – even at a slightly higher volume. By the way, it was the same with the highUP in the car dealership during the test drive. A construction error on the antenna? The radio should probably be the RCD215. – So the standard radio as well as in the golf. Do you also have this problem? Listen carefully – even at a higher volume. Don’t you have a “clear” reception? By the way, I don’t live in the country – I live in the big city where the reception should be good. In my second car (golf) I don’t have at least this unclear reception. I have at least now made an entry with Volkswagen directly – because nothing could be found in the workshop. However, the seller also perceived this unclear sound (in both cases Cars) and said I should complain to VW. THANK YOU for the answers! LG

Hello guys, we drive a black up of 2013. Last time it happens often that we have to make the outside of the windshield also the inside of the windshield ice-free. How can it be that the car gets so wet from the inside? We have no sliding roof and the floor mats are m.E. also dry. Older vehicles of VW (golf and co) used to have the foils under the door panels where water would come through. Does anyone have an explanation / solution? much read and found on the Internet but no solution yet!

Good morning to the gentlemen, I had my Up! for inspection in November and even before the warranty had expired, I addressed two defects that were to be repaired. Outer bearings clacked and a high frequency whistle when pressing the brake As far as the acquisition of the costs of VW to the AH was confirmed and the repair was started at the beginning of December. The outer bearings were also done immediately. However, the whistle turned out to be a faulty ABS system, which was also exchanged rde, but since now 6 weeks can not be connected to the engine control unit, because there are no correct codes from VW. Has someone experienced this before? Generally I have no problem with the duration of the repair, because I have a free rental car, but I would like to have my car back again.

Hello together, we are about to buy an up. The car would be used mostly for the rides to work (a distance 30 km, ~25 km highway, rest of town) as well as for smaller routes across Cologne and the surrounding area. Now the question inevitably arises which engine it should be. We tend at the moment rather to the 60hp engine, but get the 75hp motor to the heart of many other (not up) drivers. Is the 75hp engine on the highway worth? That the engines are the same and is the 75hp engine, especially at the desired speed of 120 kmh – 130 kmh, similar to the 60hp engine? Is there a big difference if you want to accelerate out of a construction site of 80 kmh? If in doubt I would just switch down. Does the 75hp engine consume more petrol at 120 – 130? How do I notice with the speed of the engine? the advantages of the 75hp engine? Does it speed up faster and has more reserves? I’m not a driver who likes to turn high, I prefer to swim quietly with. You can’t really give full throttle in professional traffic anyway. I would be grateful for your experience and know. I’m still quite undecided at the moment if it’s wrong to save on the engine or if the 60hp engine is not even the better choice (noise, consumption, etc.).
