Re: Cam belt or Cam chain?

Does anyone know if my 66 plate 1.2 TSI polo has an interference engine? I still haven't got the cambelt changed after 5 years/55k miles

Stop A/C automatically coming on?

Is it possible to stop the A/C from turning on automatically when I hit the cabin air recirculating button in my Polo 6C?

Consumption gone from 60mpg to 45mpg

Hi all, I always got great MPG with my Polo 1.2 - it would usually be around 55-65mpg depending on how I drive it. However the past few weeks it's suddenly dropped to around 45mpg, any idea why this might be? Nothings changed and the car doesn't need a service... I wondered if maybe the car was some...

Re: Uncomfortable seat mods

I'm trying to replace my VW Polo 6C front "whiplash-optimised" headrest, as I don't like the way it tilts forward. I measured it and the spokes are 15cm centre-to-centre, or 17cm end-to-end. So far I have only been able to measure a Passat headrest, which is 15cm centre-to-centre. I was ho...

I'm looking to get an exaust for my Polo 6C, specifically this one:

InoxCar Seat Ibiza SC (Type 6J) SEIB.26.RA

I love the sound of it. Does anyone know where I can buy it in the UK?
Sounds decent

Re: Just remapped my Polo

Blimey Lebjos :shock: that is some increase in Torque in particular. Ive got the 1.8 GTI and this has just 37lbs/ft more. Have you or do you plan to do anything to uprate the brakes and clutch ? Standard brakes on the GTI are OK but nothing more than that, and if I do remap mine, I'll certainly be ...
