Re: Polo (6r) 1.6 Comfortline - VW Lowering springs fitted

For those who are on finance and was wondering about the warranty being void etc, I sent an email to volkswagen asking whether I could fit the volkswagen lowering springs and if it would void my finance agreement and warranty.

I got the following reply:

Re: VW Original Parts - Lowering Springs Kit

Hi AJ_7, I'm thinking of doing the exact same thing however I'm unsure which one to purchase? you mentioned the 3 different weights... but which one would suit a 1.4 SEL?

Cheers! :D

Any chance of a pic of the wind deflectors fitted mate? I'm thinking of purchasing some but I'm unsure on how these will look.

Thanks :)

I made a thread on this a few months back. However, I booked the car in and they checked the brakes etc and took the car for a run. They couldn't find any problems with it so I assume there's nothing to worry about. :)

Re: Clunking noise when reversing.

I doubt It's anything to worry about.

Every single Vdub I had owned with disc brakes on the back has done it. When brakes get wet, discs start to oxidise and pads "stick" to disks. As the car starts to move the brakes unstick there's a "Clunk" from the back, don't know why but it's always worse ...

Clunking noise when reversing.

Hi there,

I have a 3 month old 1.4 SEL and have recently discovered a clunking noise in the brakes when i reverse. It is just one quick loud clunk when reversing quite sharply.

I am pretty worried about this as it is a brand new car and it should not be happening! :evil: . However I am going to ...

Purchased a brand new SEL 1.4 Candy white 3 door with 17" boavista alloys a couple of months ago and absolutely love it. (Should get some pics up tomorrow). :D

Just wanted some opinions on modifications. e.g ...
