Whats your 2018 - 21 GTI exhaust mods and experiences

Hi there everyone,

I wanted to check in those whom changed their exhaust.

At first I was considering switching my 2018 to the face-lift but to much similarity between the 18 and 22 models so I decided against the switch.

I eventually went ahead with a custom catless downpipe and res delete. Must ...

Re: Alarm keeps going off 10seconds after locking the car

Hey guys, thanks for the tips.
Its not the key fob or alarm itself.
No shocker that when the car was sent into vw for inspection there were no issues/error codes. Car doesn't want to do it now but the dealer did mention there had been a few polos with faulty boot latch. I left the car with them to ...

Alarm keeps going off 10seconds after locking the car

Hi all,

As the subject states, anyone face issues with their alarm system. I noticed ever since I took a short drive yesterday that the car alarm goes off 10 seconds after locking it. This is repeated over and over nonstop.
I tried to check for bugs but there isn't any. I switched off interior ...

Re: Polo GTI (AW)Mods

I don't know how vws are these days when lowered.
Years back my golf 1 that I owned bounced like mad with h&r springs. Then again that was 50mm drop.
With the AW do you guys also do drop links?

Re: Polo GTI (AW)Mods


Sounds good. I will do exhaust last. Need to spend some time to do some digging. Don't want a tune.
As for the springs let me know how this goes
Currently under 3rd wave covid followed by looting so not a good idea right now to get anything done.

Thanks for the responses everyone. I am not ...

Re: Easiest access to speaker cables?

Awesome stuff. From my personal experience the Focals sound more detailed than the standard rubbish. However I do noticed the lack of power running them from the standard head unit. From my side I installed a single square sound deadening behind the speaker inside the door. I also installed speaker ...

Re: Polo GTI (AW)Mods

Thanks for the responses everyone. I am not concerned about MOT nor do I believe the car is OPF.

Just unsure of exhaust to go with that would not require a tune. Not really interested in tuning as I still want it reliable for daily use. Also not chasing for more performance just want a good tone ...

Re: Polo GTI (AW)Mods


Thanks Stuart, Not worried to much on warranty as its got last couple months left.

Does your car sound much better now with pops and bangs. I am looking for some good pops and bangs but nothing crazy

Hi guys,

So I am ...

Polo GTI (AW)Mods

Hi guys,

So I am looking at a few mods but wanted to get some help on deciding what to pick and personal experiences if you had done any.

1. Looking to add downpipe. Not sure if I should go with cat or catless. If I do a full exhaust what would you recommend. I don't want something that would ...

Re: Easiest access to speaker cables?

Everything is in the glove box. All cables is run from the receiver in the glove box. If I'm not mistaken the 4.320 is a plug and play amp but the harness/cables for the amp are sold separately. Would be great to know how it sounds.

Re: Easiest access to speaker cables?

Hi bud,

I am also looking to add an amp. I already got Focals installed. I think the best way is to purchase a T harness to reuse the existing wiring. What amp are you installing?

Re: Economy mode

Hi,

Drive is the default mode. When the car is restarted regardless of the mode you selected it will always go to D the default mode.

Re: Polo GTI Issues(AW)

Mine does it on re-fuel. I assume they meant to do this. I suppose it resets data to track after every fill up. Strange you mention this as my kia doesn't reset the time.

I havent had my fuel consumption reset on me randomly. Jutmst the usual reset when u fill up. If possible to get that recorded ...

Re: Polo GTI Issues(AW)

I havent had my fuel consumption reset on me randomly. Jutmst the usual reset when u fill up. If possible to get that recorded maybe with a dashcam or something might help. I know with the PDC issue VW didnt seem like they believed me until I recorded it.
