UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Ooops, forgot about the DPF issue! At the start (September 2010) the first few hundred miles were fine, but after a while there was a problem with the DPF. It would appear and the recommendation was to drive at 40mph for 10 - 15 mins or so.. which is quite hard in UK :P. Spoke to the dealer service ...

Finally a fellow TDI! xD! In reply to the conrod issue, I'm not sure on the reliablity of the issue, I saw it cropped up on another forum with pictures and stuff, but at the time it happened (over a year ago i think) there weren't any remaps available to the car, so it could have been a freak accide...

Looking nice mate !

Can i just ask,

What you lowered on? and springs etc

And, what spacers? and measurements ?

Thanks

As mentioned above, you need the canbus LED's, however I think Edi30, had a problem even with canbus ones, so yeah its a trial and error

Tried a set from crazyleds and they worked a treat, no problem, and were nice and cheap too, so try them on there !

Got a 1.6 TDI here And a drop of around 40 - 50 mm would be best imo, where the tyre would sit just in the arch a little Reason being a bigger drop, you can most likely guess, the GTI has a lowered suspension, all the other models are so much more higher, i can currently fit 4 fingers between my rea...
