Volkswagen Polo Blue GT 2019
The blue colored vehicles of Volkswagen have always been associated with fuel efficiency and it is no different with the 2013 Volkswagen Polo Blue GT. The 2013 variant of the VW Polo Blue GT was unveiled just a couple of days back at the Geneva Motor Show and it promises the renowned VW Blue fuel-efficiency standard as well as near GTi performance. As the name itself suggests, the new VW Polo Blue GT is based on the extremely popular Polo hatchback of Volkswagen, which has been doing rather well in the markets all across the world. This level of fuel economy is achieved primarily due to the VW鈥檚 all-new ACT active cylinder deactivation technology which makes a debut with the new Polo Blue GT. The system shuts down cylinder 2 and 3 when there is low and medium engine load and when the car accelerates, it automatically reactivates them. This whole reactivation process takes about 13 to 36 milliseconds depending on the speed of the engine. As far as performance is concerned, the new Polo Blue GT accelerates to 60mph from standstill in just 7.9 seconds. It has a top speed of 130mph, which is not at all bad for a hatchback. On the outside, the new Polo Blue sports a new tailpipe trim, all-new 17鈥?alloy wheels, theGT badge at the front and the back, as well as the Bluemotion badge in the back. It also dons a black grille, roof spoiler, R-line ventilation screen, and a ride height which has been lowered by almost 15 mm.
Serious backseat for a serious driver鈥檚 car! If you don鈥檛 have kids then just know this - the Golf GTI Rabbit Edition is spacious - very! Okay, here鈥檚 my Top-3 Favorite Things about the 2019 VW Golf GTI Rabbit Edition! Exterior Styling: The Cornflower Blue with the red GTI badging, sporty wheels and red brake calipers - it just looks great. Power & Performance: It鈥檚 a Golf GTI Rabbit and it brings it as expected. It鈥檚 a fun driver鈥檚 car. It rides smooth enough for daily driving and brings ample performance. Interior Design: Love the subtle Rabbit tagging that in-the-know VW enthusiasts will appreciate for鈥?ever, really. From its high-quality interior, nimble handling, and perfect seating position, this is a lot of premium-quality vehicle for the price. Urano Gray looks great. The Volkswagen Golf GTI is still one of the best performance-oriented compact cars available today, and the distinctive tribute to the Rabbit is seriously cool. I predict this will be yet another valued collectors car in years to come.
I didn't know my car even had a part called a brake light switch until it broke last week. My 05 Aveo wouldn't go out of park (annoying) unless I used the emergency brake and I had to start my car while in neutral. The biggest problem with a broken brake light switch is that the brake lights no longer register that the brake pedal is being depressed, and as a result do not light up. Dangerous. Turned out this little plastic piece is a big deal in Aveo-land. It is luckily a pretty cheap part to fix, although no car part stores carried it in our area, so we had to buy the part from a dealership. 50 at the dealership. The hardest part about replacing a broken brake light switch is getting to where it's located. You're going to want to put the driver's seat as far back as it will go, to give yourself as much room as possible.
Putting a towel on the ground will help cushion your knees as you become an amateur contortionist in order to reach the switch. A flashlight is also very handy. The brake light switch is located above the brake pedal about 3/4 of the way up the metal bar which connects your pedal to your car. It is secured by a small bracket and it has a little round nubbin (for lack of a better description) which remains in contact with the metal bar above your brake pedal. It is connected to the wiring system with a white plastic piece which kind of resembles an electrical plug/socket combo. Once you've located the brake light switch, unplug the switch from the electrical system. This is fairly easy to do, but be gentle, since these are thin plastic parts you're working with. Gently twist the brake light switch to the left with steady pressure.
