Re: How many pre WLTP Polo GTIs in the UK.

How do I confirm whether my polo GTI plus is a pre-wltp? My car was registered on June 2018 and I have had a look under the vehicle and all I can see is a resinator. Yours is pre WLTP Pretty much any car registered in 2018 is pre WLTP as there was a gap between production of pre and post WLTP Polo ...

I added it to the spec. on my car. I guess it’s only useful in a pre-crash situation. Thankfully I’ve never needed it. I don’t know if it can be enabled retrospectively though.

Re: Is it feasible to use a Polo GTI+ on a 70 mile daily commute?

Today’s commute, mostly motorway, M4 restricted to 50mph, some stop start traffic, some free flowing motorway. Journey could be done in just over an hour if there was no traffic.
