Thanks for the input. That's the most feasible option.

Just to be sure, is there any electrical modification on the car?

The car is completely bone stock.
Thank you.

Friend, I think you have not read GTO's thread on how German cars get affected by using weak battery.

Get the same replaced ASAP, before any expensive electrical equipment goes for a spin.

I had gone through it but did not have the car at the time, who knew that i will be going through it again, time to invest in a trickle charger.

I hope the OEM warranty stays by my side. Thanks!

Update: This morning I gave a call to VW RSA (18004191155) and registered my complaint, I gave my current location on whatsapp(pretty convenient), then I was provided with case ID, service provider's contact number. Took them almost 2hrs to reach(they travelled almost 24kms), we didn't have to face the brunt of waiting because we were at home. Two people arrived on a scooty, took out their device (don't know what it's called but it looked like a trickle charger) and plugged it to the terminals of battery. I cranked the engine and voila! The engine fired up to life. Finally went on a long drive to make sure the battery charged.


Signing off with this photo of my Polo.

Regards.

All, during the audio system installation the guys broke one of the clips on the driver side door panel, and now the door rattles while playing music and it's very annoying. Can anyone let me know the part number and cost of the door panel without the switches? I'm thinking of replacing it myself if I can source the panel.

Thanks Gannu, but the clip they broke was attached and a part of the door panel itself near the sail panel. For the lack of a better word I called it a clip. It was an L-shaped extension that went under the sail panel.

Is it indicated in the image above?

If not, check the oriparts link and see if you can figure out the part you’re referring to.

This is part of the moulded door panel trim and isn't available as a child part. Try gluing the broken part back using epoxy glue.

Is accumulation of water droplets on the tray under pump normal?

Also, maybe I'm nitpicking but is the hissing and vibration of the pump shown, normal?

Guys, please suggest how often shall I get wheel alignment, balancing and rotation done for My Polo TSI MY 21.

It's 1 Yr 4 months old and I haven't ever got this done yet.

Even during 1 yr service, the service center guy didn't tell me.

In the picture, I could see the grey AC piping, and water droplets near that region could very well be from condensation on either of these. The Brake Vacuum Pump may occasionally hiss, but I do not remember if it specifically vibrates. If I end up checking this, I will add a reply to this. Hope this helps.

Are you sure it's the pump which is causing the hissing sound? There can be a hissing sound (something like boiling) from the coolant reservoir once the car is shutdown in TSI engine cars.
