Bought the High Up and received it on Wednesday 11th April 2012 same night faulty Speedo!!!!
doing around 40 mph but it says i'm doing 105mph WTF!!
took it back to the dealer cant get new part till end of May gear change light tells me to chaange from 3rd to 5th doing 38mph??? think its to do with the speedo problem! oh what to do?????
Sorry to hear about the speedo thing. I hope VW get it sorted for you quickly.
As for the gear thing, I agree with David M, all the new VWs are like that, for fuel economy reasons
I'm rubbish at listening to it though as it often feels unnatural to be in such a high gear at a low speed
i know its a fault with the gear change as i didn't explain that it tells you that your also in 5th gear when your actually in 3rd! lolGoing back to VW in the morning as its started to sound like a tractor now!
I reckon i've got a faulty UP and hope they will change it!

well I'm 45 and drive to what conditions depict and speed/revs are needed but as I wrote earlier the fault has now been rectified by VW and a new Dash went in, only to cause another problem when the main key they had was re-coded but the second key wasn't so immobilised the car!!! lolThey came out to recoce the key but couldn't because they need the VW server for security! DOH! so came out 8:30 am next morning to do it.
Hope nothing more goes wrong, I don't need this stress!
I was taught 0-10 1st, 10-20 = 2nd, 20-30 = 3rd and so on
Of course as you start to get experience after passing youre test, you find what feels right gear wise. So I'll normally be in 4th around 33mph and so on. It can depend on your torque curve. If I tried to be in a higher gear, doing a low speed ( like what newer VWs want ) my car wouldnt like, and begin lugging, and a distinct lack of control.
The left hand nearside washer jet on my Up GTi has become weak and is lacking in water pressure spray......the drivers side is fine. Ive tried replacing both washer jets with new but its still the same. Has anyone else had any similar experiences. ?.
Looking to buy a Move Up 2013 with 25,000 miles.
Drives lovely.
But have noticed when stationary and idling, there is more of a rattley engine noise which goes away when I press the clutch pedal down. Then when I release the clutch pedal, the noise comes back.
This is just when idling...
Evening all,
Not sure if anyone else has had a similar issue but the air con has stopped working in the other half’s Up GTI. Bit frustrating really as not long had it back from its first service.
Fan blower is working, light on air con button illuminates, but can’t hear the compressor kicking...

My hubby jump started it and on the 4th attempt it finally started...
