Tune chips for TDI engines. Are they any good?

Has anyone used tune chips on their (1.2) TDI engines? I was considering doing a mild remap of the 1.2 TDI engine to around 90hp, but there are no competent tuners in my area and I don't think I want 15 more HP enough to drive 800km+ for it. Saw an add for chip tuning, plug and play stuff and wonder...

Re: Are these front lip spoilers OEM to the 6C GTI?

They are OEM parts for the 6C Polo GTI. Part numbers; Right hand side; 6C0 805 904 A Left hand side; 6C0 805 903 E Sorry, can’t answer your question about whether they’ll fit on a 6R bumper. I dare say it will depend on the profile / shape of the lower edge of the 6R bumper. The 6C GTI’s front bump...

Are these front lip spoilers OEM to the 6C GTI?
If they are OEM, do they have a part number?
And if they do, could they be fitted to a 6R bumper?

6C GTI exhaust size.

What's the exhaust size of a polo 6C GTi?
I'm looking for the total width of the twin pipe exhaust.

standard bumper is 6C0945105B and 6C0945106B, while the gti rear bumper has 6C0945106A and 6C0945106A
I assume you meant 6C0945106A and 6C0945105A? Just making sure.

I got a 6C gti bumper and it doesn't have the rear reflectors and can't find gti specific ones.

Re: LED headlamp mod

So basically I'm kind of on the same journey of upgrading the headlights and taillights on my 6R and this is what I've learned. The connectors for the headlights differ between cars that come with xenon headlights from the factory and cars that come with halogens. The halogens have a 10pin connector...

Re: mfsw on polo 6r

Would the mk6 mfsw retrofit still require new wires to be added for a car without mfsw from the factory?

Perhaps the seller has modified the lights to fit an aftermarket HID kit or something like that?
Oh yes. I googled some aftermarket hid conversion kits and found that exact connector. Thanks.

Re: What type of headlight connector is this?

Basically you have two types of connectors for the OEM headlights, 10 or 14 pin. You have halogen headlights so you'll have the 10 pin connector. What the aftermarket headlights have, is a guess but mostly they have a 10 pin as well. So you say these are not OEM? It's not really a problem for me. I...

What type of headlight connector is this?

Hello, Today I found these headlights for a pretty cheap price and I'm thinking of buying them before they get sold, but I have a question regarding the connector. These are the headlights from the front. 20201212_131632.jpg And these are the headlights from the back. 20201212_131704.jpg I've circle...

Dope. Do you, by any chance have the part number for the bumper carrier? Don't really know how to google for it in my language. Also, I assume it's the same carrier for the standard 6c and 6c gti?

Does this bumper fit on a standard 6R?

Hi,

This guys claims this fits a polo 6R, but looks like it's a 6C bumper.
I want to install a 6R GTI bumper on my Polo and I can only find bumpers for 6C.
Does this fit a 6R?

it just cuts off my power. It doesn't really have enough power to spin the wheels without esp off. When the car is driven normally it runs just fine. I think it may have been an isolated incident because I drove it pretty hard tonight and it was fine.
