Re: 6C GTI Brakes

Not all is lost then! So fast road pads for a 180bhp TT should do the trick?

6C GTI Brakes

Hi all,

I'm struggling to find performance pads for my GTI. Anybody know if the brake setup is the same as any other VAG vehicles? Always loads of options for TTs / Golfs etc but very limited for the Polo...

Re: New GTI

Hi, I sold my Honda Civic Type R Championship White Edition for the new Polo GTI, i'm over the moon with it, its such a great little car. The only thing i'm missing is the wind deflectors that I had on the type r. Can anyone tell me if there is any available for the 5 door model yet, and if so wher...

Re: App Connect

I had the App Connect installed by my dealer today, all tested and working fine. Mine is a 2016 GTI, January build slot which we collected in February. Did you pay extra for this and how did they upgrade it? I got my car net working after a couple of attempts but the dealer has no idea about how to...

Re: App Connect

Out of interest did you have any options like the rear view camera? Apparently vehicles with these got the updated head unit first. That's interest...

Re: New GTI

I have no idea how the DCC is when in 'soft' mode. Had the car 6 weeks and 1300miles and never driven it not in 'sport' mode lol. I don't find 'sport' to be too harsh or too loud though, for what it's worth. Not sure if it's compatible with lowering springs... I have asked in another thread and just...

Re: 6c GTI lowering springs

Is it simple enough to fit new springs to a Polo? I'm handy enough with a spanner but haven't really 'fiddled' with my cars since I started buying brand new ones... Also, where is the best place to buy springs? Do VW have any in-house modification options in this regard? And can you fit lowering spr...

Reversing with the front wipers on engages the rear wiper too :)

Do the newly built cars have this problem or is the issue fixed (i.e. new binnacles) at the factory?

Not sure, we've had ours 6 weeks and I haven't dared to try it yet :lol:

Re: Issues with iPhone in new GTI

Anyone else had a problem with playback via USB in their car? Basically every 20-30 sec the music cuts out for a split second then resumes. Sounds like the tracks are 'jumping'! Any one else experience this? Any idea of fixes? Cheers. We've had the exact same problem. Only solution I've found is to...

Re: Anyone else think their GTI is s**t? or any polo

I don't think our GTI is s**t, nor do I think our 1.4 SE was s**t, nor do I think our 1.2 R-Line was s**t. Loved our R-Line so much we were actually going to settle the finance and keep it until my dealer made me aware of the new GTI :lol: Can't say I've investigated my A-pillar trims to see if they...
