Re: Has anyone put the Up GTI SoundAktor on a Polo?

Thanks for the reply, I was considering it for my R-Line 115 which I believe is an identical engine to the Up so I wasn't too worried about the sound being weird. I'm not certain it would be worth it if they are expensive combined with the effort of getting it to work. The reason I looked at it was ...

Has anyone put the Up GTI SoundAktor on a Polo?

Hi there,
Out of curiosity, has anyone installed (or attempted to install) the soundaktor from a VW Up GTI into their Polo? Is it even possible to do this?

Re: Is there any Front Bug Deflector and Side Wind Deflectors available?

I've requested a quote from them - did you purchase them? If so how much was shipping to the UK?

Re: What did you and your Polo do today?

The car is back at the dealers to fit a new boot lock under warranty (only 2 years/15k miles). The original lock failed, and fortunately I have a habit of checking the doors & boot after locking the door and disabling the keyless entry, I discovered that the boot lock was hit & miss & w...

Is there any Front Bug Deflector and Side Wind Deflectors available?

Does anyone know where I might find a front bug deflector and side wind deflectors for my 2019 Polo? I've emailed TeamHeko to ask if their side ones are narrow enough that they don't get in the way of the folding mirrors but I didn't get a response. They also don't seem to sell the front deflector f...

Re: LED headlamp retrofit

Re: Can you use the same type of bulb for dipped and main beam?

Thanks for all the replies, I ended up going with the same Osram Nightbreakers that I use on my dipped beams. So far they've been working excellently and have a lot more consistent light pattern/spread than the factory ones.

Can you use the same type of bulb for dipped and main beam?

Hi, I currently have Osram nightbreakers installed on my dipped beam but I've been looking to find brighter main beam bulbs for my polo. Could I buy the exact same bulbs for the main beams or would they have a different power rating? All I know is they are both H7 bulbs but I'm not really sure what ...

Has anyone bought the AKD LED Headlights?

Hi there, wondering if anyone has bought the AKD LED Headlights for the Polo AW? I had been hoping that there would be a bigger selection of aftermarket LEDs for the AW by now but doesn't seem to be happening. Also, more out of curiousity than anything else, would VW fit things like the active info ...

Re: Getting better performance from 115ps R-Line

Has anyone done any performance upgrades to their 95PS or 115PS R-Lines? What were your results? I'm looking at trying to upgrade the turbo or do a stage 1 remap but I don't know if it's worth ruining my warranty. Thanks :D I have a stage 1, on my 1.0 95bhp, it's currently pushing 135, i'd say it w...

Mirror moves to the side instead of dipping in reverse.

I’m assuming this is user error but when I put the switch the passenger side mirror and go into reverse the mirror adjusts away from the car instead of looking down towards the curb and doesn’t budge when I try to adjust it back in to see where I’m reversing. When I start going it resets to the wron...

Are you certain this is the case? I'm pretty sure the 115PS R-Line has also been removed from the VW UK website but the 95PS version remains.
