UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

To be fair I would look into the BMW way again if i were you.
A few things has disapointed me with the Polo GTI such as soud and MPG.
If you are looking for something fast, nimble and fun I would rather look for used 235is or 135is to be honest.

When i wish to hear bit of the DSG farts. I roll All Windows Down.

I put the car in Eco-Mode, Change to Manual Mode. Hard on the accelerator! ,change gear on the gear lever at 3000rpm or 4000rpm.

Does this actually work?

I don’t think it would be as simple as just bolting a turbocharger on to your engine. Worth having a read of this;

Considerations;
- Cost; likely to be prohibitively expensive.
- You’d invalidate your warranty for ...

The modes doesn't effect the exhaust.
If you are in sport mode it does naturally take some more revs, which will make more exhaust sound.
But the same can be done in comfort if you floor it. If anything you've heard the Sound Aktor which does make artificial sound.

My vehicle is set to "Individual" mode with everthing in comfort except Engine / Steering in Sport.

I have the exact opposite than you

Hi guys.

If i were to chip tune a leased Polo GTI from VW and then returning it back to fabric standards upon delivering the car back.
Would there be any issues? Can VW see that it has been modified before and do they ignore that fact if the car has been returned to the standard settings?

I found the accelerator a bit "dead" for a sport mode, it certainly didn't get any more responsive. Is there an exhaust valve or is the increase in sound purely from the speaker? Either way more sound = more fun!
Sport mode doesn't make the response any faster, besides the fact that if you auto ...

Just want to comment on this.

Here's a few things you can expect :cry:

Crap downshifting, especially 3 to 2. - I really don't feel that :)
Rattle from the handbrake. - None in my car
Squealling brakes when reversing. - Only when you're reversing right after engine start
When the engine's cold ...

Hi guys.

Been using Android Auto for a while now but suddently it has stopped connecting.
It says that my phone is locked, but when i unlock nothing happens.
It automaticly registers that it is suppose to open, but it can't and sends out the same error message every time.


What I've tried so far ...

Luckily mine came with continental contisportcontact 5's so I didn't have to swap at all

Hi.

When ever I'm driving the boot will automaticly lock. That is kind of annoying when transporting passengers that they can't open the boot? Is there anyway to fix it?

So far I've had to shut down the car and then push the unlock button on the key.

Even with the sportier suspension setting I don't think the suspension is too rough. It is a firm ride but that's how I like it personally.

Here is mine (the black one) besides the reef blue
I love both colours

I find the hatch difficult to close at times, as if the lock doesnt engage correctly. Means I need to almost slam shut every time, meh.


I have the same issue on my 2018 GTI+, but not on our 2019 GTI+. The paint on the bottom edge of the tailgate is chipping in 2 places. Everything looks right ...
