To start I'm going to say if you aren't comfortable doing this work then don't as decals and PPF can take the lacquer off the paint, through improper removal Here's the best video you'll find on removing PPF and Decals, and Larry will explain all the risks involved https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6p...

Yep same as iichel, makes sense. Should be alright to get a used one if you want to avoid paying for a new one.

I run tomtom on my phone all the time - their traffic data is much more accurate than google's. but, tomtom will die within the next few years unless they can get it onto Android Auto or CarPlay. Too many people won't look further than what's already in the car. Should try Waze if you're not happy ...

In the old 2002 days, the only cars that had launch control were Supercars and special edition BMW's etc which destroyed the clutch after 3 launches due to the power. In 2006-8 Golf's DSG golf's got the launch control after a hidden sequence again. Baring that in mind and advances in engineering, th...

Just had a set of 17" Merc Alloys done ( full face is diamond cut like the mk5 golf monza's ) for £380 but that's due to the amount I use them try £475 for a set of 4. My chosen Wheel refurb place in England is Pristine Alloys, at the end of the day it's all about quality. Do it once, do it right. A...

Anyone got the part numbers for a 2014 Polo 6R 1.4 N/A Petrol - Waterpump and timing belt?

'' Don't be tempted to go for wider tyres, unless you're willing for more roadnoise to be conveyed up into the chassis, and hence into the cabin. Leave wider wheels and tyres to the boy racers. For myself, it was a matter of deciding whether I really wanted to end up with a set of nearly-new spare ...

I take your point but I have had this issue from day one on collecting my car and the dealers should be correcting it

Maybe so but personally £5 and 2 minutes of my time is easier and more cost effective than continuous arguing with VW over £20 Window Wipers.

For everyone getting wiper judder Please note as a Part-Time Professional Detailer, from my experience wiper judder can be negated by taking the coating used on the windscreen and applying it to the wiper blades. Therefore I'd recommend getting your dealer to do this versus getting new blades, prim...

Depends what you're after, but if you're after the best try using http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/ to find the best for your size :) I run Continental Premium Contact 6 but I have 17inch aftermarket BBS. The best for your size is Michelin CrossClimate Plus according to testing, that is if you're only a...

Picked up my new polo last thurs so far enjoying it! With the Apple Car Play being pretty good. Unfortunately I’ve got the wiper judder problem but I will just get the Bosch aero twins I think. Gave it its 1st long drive on Sunday night 200 miles. Seemed to handle it fairly well but a little sluggi...

The quality is based off the quality of the internals, Valeo make the halogens for the polo and I think Hella tend make the xenon / leds, both good brands regardless. However you've purchased a chinese copy which won't perform as well as the Valeo they're virtually the same price so might as get the...

This ^^. Also take a pal with you not necessarily a car 'expert' but anyone, 4 eyes being better than 2, + a torch to check paint matching and don't accept the car back unless 110% happy. No reason why it shouldn't be perfectly ok if repaired properly, though I know where the OP is coming fron re: ...

An OEM one is the best one you'll get for the price ( about £50-60), other than that Weathertech are next best but they're £84.

Winter tyres have saved me from a few accidents as well, and have actually embarrassed some cars with 4wd and summer tyres on them when the little polo gets up the hill and they don't Some of the best money you can spend is on winter tyres
