UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Interesting, as this wasn’t on the options listwhen I ordered mine. Was yours ordered Joe, or was it just a pleasant surprise? It’s not listed as an option as it’s part of the standard spec for the Polo, other than the Beats model which gets a tyre mobility kit, including compressor. According to t...

I have had sunroofs on all my recent cars, including a 2014 Octavia VRS and a 2017 Skoda Superb 280 and wouldn’t be without one. Same parts as VW, so should be comparable. Yes I have experienced the odd rattle, but nothing major. I have not found a headroom problem thus far, at 6ft myself. With the ...

VW look to be in a complete mess, at the moment. Model derivatives decreasing in number and hopeless lack of information for the customers who have ordered. I am glad this site is here, to at least share some information, even if most of what I have learnt so far, is information on ship movements. :...

Couple of recent tests for the Polo GTi, one on Pistonheads, and the other on Whatcar. The Whatcar one, is a bit odd in the scoring of space and practicality, looks a bit like a misprint or something. See what you think. https://www.pistonheads.com/features/ph-features/vw-polo-gti-vs-vw-golf-gti/382...

I wonder how many miles, all the Polo GTi s that appear on youtube review videos, had on the clock, when they were 'tested'. They certainly gave those cars a hammering! That was on track and on Majorcan mountain roads.

Ordered my polo GTi+ end of April with an estimated build week of 20th August. I have now heard that delays are due to WLTP testing and that "until the testing is complete we won't know a build week, as it could be subject to manufactures year change". This is pretty troubling as I've als...

I enjoyed the video too. Nicely presented from both chaps. Just wish VW's attitude towards its customers were as enthusiastic as the sales person.

I was on to VW live chat , this morning and they confirmed that factory is shut down for 2 months and I couldn't expect notification of a build week until 6th August at the very earliest, when they plan on starting to build cars again, so looking like some time in 2019 for mine, which was ordered on...

In response to Alan's original question, I spoke to DTUK last week, and they said that colleagues had looked at the Polo GTi engine and the basic EA88 is very similar, apart from smaller injectors, smaller turbo and MAF situated on the inlet pipe. I guess it will have a particulate filter in the sys...

I had a chat with a tuning module company this morning, that has links with similar companies in Europe and they thought that the engine in the new Polo GTi has smaller injectors and a smaller turbo, than say, a Golf GTi, so is probably unlikely to map to the numbers seen on Golfs and Octavias.

Well done!

was on VW web chat today, confirmed that the polo factory is closed for 2 months....

The information sources from VW don't exactly give us confidence that they are concerned about making and delivering our cars, do they!

Interesting stuff.

I believe it is the same box,also similar to the one I have on my Skoda Superb 280. From what I have seen so far though, the engine on the Polo Gti does not appear to have the tuning potential of the engine fitted to the Golf GTi. DTUK indicate a tuned figure of 230 ish, where a GTi is quoted closer...
