Coolant Pipe - 6R Blue GT

Hey All! Been trying to hunt down this pipe for a little while. A friend accidentally cracked the coolant pipe that runs across the front of the engine so coolant now just slowly drips out of it. The part number is unfortunately rubbed off so haven't been able to easily find a replacement :( Can som...

Re: BlueGT Front Brake Disc

Hi Marko Did you have any issues with the 288mm front brake discs fitting? I’ve ordered myself some and the garage I took it to fit them said they were too small? Thanks in advance Did you get anywhere with this job? Where did you buy the 288mm diameter vented discs from? Haven't done this yet but ...

BlueGT Front Brake Disc

Looking to replace the front discs and pads on my 6R BlueGT.

Does anyone know what size disc I need? There seems to be 3 options, 256mm, 288mm and 312mm.

I've recently changed the back pair to some Brembos and now that GSF have another 60% sale, I thought I'd treat the front too :P

Thanks,

Re: My New POLO GT

Nice side skirts, are these the same as the r line ones? I think so, someone else mentioned it on another post. I'd have to find out for definite. I am also happy with the standard power of my Blue GT. However, what I would like is more instantaneous throttle response. Stepping on the gas, there al...

Re: My New POLO GT

They've quoted £399+VAT so about £450ish in total.

I've only just changed from a Ford Fiesta 1.2L at 82bhp so to jump to 148bhp, I'm happy at the moment haha :lol:

Re: My New POLO GT

Not too sure at the mo, with exception to replacing the old RCD310 stereo unit. Can't stand not having bluetooth streaming... I've been quoted for a Revo remap to between 176-197bhp just not too sure what the old Insurance man will say as I'm still a young driver. I may think about lowering a tad mo...

Snap! (kinda) :wink:

I've had mine just under a month now, can't fault the car at all. I've got the older 6R, 6 speed with 148bhp.

Loads of fun to drive.

Look after it!

Re: BlueGT Stereo Change

Awesome, Cheers!

Will I need to do anything to get the bluetooth working correctly?

Currently have bluetooth in the car but cannot stream audio to the RCD310, only get phone calls coming through it.

BlueGT Stereo Change

Hi,

I'm looking to change my stereo from the RCD 310

to the RCD510

Does anybody know if it is just a straight swap? Is there any cables that I need to order with it?

Thank you!

Re: Contentious topic - which petrol are you using?

I've had my Polo Blue GT for two weeks now, I've only put Shell V-Power Unleaded in it.

Bit expensive, but I like to spoil the car to some good fuel 8) Plus the Shell station is right next to work so easiest for me to get too.

Re: New toy!

Number plate illumination, my wife's 2015 SEL has LED light assemblies, so you could buy them, but maybe need to change the bulb failure monitoring to recognise that change, others that have done that sort of thing will give a better answer to that potential issue. Nice one, will have a little hunt...
