UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Just ordered my second GTI, my first being flat black with sport button poverty spec - I got the obligatory upgrade phone call this week, I thought I'd humour myself and go anyway expecting to be ripped off, I was in £2k neg eq on my PCP, but after some negotiating I managed to bag myself a stock 3d...

Is it a bolt in section?

Well car was in again today for clock reset again, only this time they've managed to decode the keys and apparently their systems are down so I have a 1.0 tsi courtesy car, it's got a dsg box and my God does it shift for such a tiny motor. Actually astounded by how smooth it is

Wow, surely it'd be a lot cheaper for them to send it to a detailed? Failing that a respray of the damage is that bad? Saying that though as a paying customer you should expect the best.

After not seeing a fellow GTI owner where I live for 4 months today I see 3 in one journey. White 5dr, black 5dr and red 3dr in the Derby area, anyone on here?

Yeah they're part of the ABS system

Wasn't until today that I found out just how good the XDS system is, I nearly missed my exit on the dual carriage way, the turn off can only be described as a very sharp bend, that doubles back on itself, I've only really taken it at 30 tops, took it at 45, car didn't break a sweat, might as well ha...

I was told not to hammer it for the first 500 and then gradually boot it a bit more, though I understand most engines now-a-days are generally ok once they've warmed up and don't need as much care for the first few thousand as they once did.

Got the sweet beast back today, another period of running in :/ at least it'll be nicely loosened up when the sun decides to make an appearance!

I pose a question to those who already own a new GTI, turbo lag? Does it exist in that 1.8Tsi? No worse than any other turbo car I've driven, my old 207gti had a twin scroll to reduce turbo lag and the polo GTI turbo feels just as responsive. Nothing better than cracking the windows and planting yo...

Replacement engine arrived this afternoon, does anyone know if this will end up on the log book and affect future value? Kind of odd that my warranty work was due to be done today given that they already have the car, they say the brakes are fine (not sure how given they can't drive it!) instrument ...

@VWUKhelp

Yeah I had no text yet. Maybe tomorrow :/ Did you get a text to say yours arrived? What date did you order yours? I know we had same build week. Sent from my SM-G928F using Tapatalk Nope no text yet. I ordered 20/01 Currently passing the time watching every boat known to be used by Volkswagen that ...

I've used the think blue thing, even when I thought I was being harsh I hit 90s, I must drive like a pensioner

Had my worst fears confirmed this morning, timing chain slipped significantly, engine completely ruined, bent and broken valves (some embedded in Pistons), economically unviable to repair it so a new engine has been ordered, not sure where they come from so no idea how long it will take. The tension...
