Re: How do you open the bonnet with the cable snapped
The lever I don’t think is broken as I have taken it off it’s just vert stiff to pull and won’t pop! To take the front bumper off it’s just some screws in the arch and then clips?

How do you open the bonnet with the cable snapped
I have a 6r gti and I’m pretty sure the cable has snapped as I’m pulling the lever and there’s no tension at all! How do I release it? I took the badge off and couldn’t see anything that could help or am I just stupid?

Re: 6R GTI 1.4 tsi Gearbox
To be honest I'm not that well up on the DSG, except to say that its widely accepted that its not the strongest that the VAG group use, hence the 1.8 in the 6c being detuned to allow the DSG to cope and the reason VW fitted the full fat DSG to the new 2.0 Polo GTI. Even GT's GTI's R's are still roa...

6R GTI 1.4 tsi Gearbox
I’ve had my polo now for 12k miles and now recently just done two Nürburgring trips I’ve noticed that after a lap when the gearbox is very hot I get a shudder when pulling away and then very sharp gear changes! I leave it to cool for a little bit and it’s fine again! The car just clicked over to 40k...

Best coilovers for track use?
What coilovers is everyone running?! I want to track my car really! And right now I’m running the BC’s coilovers but at high speeds it’s very unstable and just wondering what is everyone running?

Re: Big brake upgrade 6r GTI
350bhp?! That’s crazy! But thanks for the advice I’ll have a look into them! And if it’s just bolt on will be a lot easier!

So was thinking about upgrading my head unit to the display screen. As in my 2013 gti it's got a tiny screen in with the sat nav. Has anyone had experience in whether I can take that one out and put in the larger screen head unit and still have the sat nav as the one I have now goes off a disc for t...

Re: How reliable is a stage 2 map on a 6R GTI
I'm pretty sure I do have the CTHE engine, I have a pretty safe map running 220, as I didn't want to push it anymore

How reliable is a stage 2 map on a 6R GTI
So I just had a stage 2 remap on my polo 6R GTI 2013 plate, I've heard a lot of things about this engine not being very strong if anything was to give up any ideas what would go first?
