UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

With 2.5K on the clock on my 20 mile commute I regularly hit 50mpg, with a little bit of traffic hit around 47 mpg on the way home. Town driving around 40-41mpg, overall pretty happy with the mpg. As others have said will improve with time.

The SE is listed as having a 1.4 engine and I thought that had been dropped and replaced with the 1.2 TSi 85 :?:

Overall pricing looks good and the Match model when it arrives will be another great buy. Overall the SE or SEL seem to look the best on the inside and outside IMO. Interesting that VW ...

1.2 is indeed more powerful 105ps compared to the 85ps 1.4, along with more torque 175Nm v 132Nm. Use the power and it will drink more than the 1.4 however at lower rpm and light throttle is more economical. Match is the spec to go for if you can, it should be in your budget. Don't forget main ...

A diesel is only worthwhile if you do the millage, DPF issues and the odd report of high fuel economy are things to watch out for in particular the 1.6TDi. Match is the best spec and the best price/performance option is the 1.4. 1.4 can achieve high forties on a decent run around 38-40 around town ...

Thanks guys. Yea is some good info and nice cars on here. Any other good forums about? I'm from catterick garrison.

I assume in the Army, have done various bits of training in the past at Catterick, bet it is a bog on most of the training ground after the recent weather. :D

Depends on what cars ...

The Geneva pictures show the Blue Motion with the current Polo bumper, the R Line has a Gloss back lower half and new upper grill, the new alloy wheels are nice. The Blue GT again has a new lower bumper insert. Revised rear light clusters and minor tweak to the bumper. It would be hard to detect the ...

Welcome, not the fastest of forums, but some useful and decent info on here

Ebay will yield some results, the GTi parts will not fit, search for Polo 2009, quite a few chrome bits for the Polo steering wheel on there. GTi has a different steering wheel, although it may be the part on the steering where the optional multi function buttons would be. There are standard for all ...

Not had a remap on the Polo, but did have an E87 1.6 1 Series remaped from 115 to 129Bhp, biggest difference was a more responsive throttle response. Extra power was noticeable but not by much. An N/A engine will only give around an extra 10% power/torque, so won't make it that much quicker TBH.

Depends on the model, the lower end (1.2) have 8% discount and the 1.4, 1.2 TSi, 1.6TDi have a 10% margin. If a dealer is getting a bonus, selling 1.4s or volume bonus yu may get a little extra. Drivethedeal is a good place to start and see if they will match it. With the FL Polo round the corner ...

The lights look the same depends if the electrics have been updated with an updated CAN-bus.

I want to see a pick of a Polo S to see what a base model looks like. All the pics I have seen, seem to be of a GT. As I reckon the new range will be S, SE, GT, and GTi. Older spy pics had cars with a ...

Have it on my 1.4 N/A Match as well. I thought it was now standard across the range?

The steering wheel and stereo are from the MK7 Golf, SE fpr sterero ond gloss black steering wheel from the GT . The Polo pictured looks like GT type front and rear bumpers. Not sure if it has Xenons , has headlight washers in the front bumper. Little about the news 1.5 derv and that the 60 and 75ps ...

Try drying out the system. Switch a/c off and put on maxheat and maxblower for a good half an hour when up to temp. Moisture is trapped in the system a by product of using a/c.

Lol thanks, nope, have written and published a couple of books - not a great writer though, otherwise I would be in something a little posher . Yet to buy or drive the perfect car. Now choose one that meets my needs at the time...
