So...
I ordered the Planger PowerPad and used it today. Great stuff!
No scratches underneath my car. The pad looks like new after I changed all four wheels.
It was a lot quicker and easier to use than the VW supplied jack.

Thank you for all the tips!

Thanks for all the very useful replies.

I will look into a "puck", probably start looking at the Planger that veteran mentioned.

I changed the tyres on my Lupo twice a year for eleven years with the VW supplied jack.
I was worried that I would tilt the jack every time I used it. It was quite ...

I have this spare wheel accessory thing in my trunk instead of a spare wheel.

What is the empty groove at the bottom for?
Is there something missing from there or is it for some optional part that someone decided that I don't need?

Thank you for the replies!

The ECS jack pads feel a little over kill and pricey.

Maybe the kind of jack pad that looks like a hockey puck with a groove is the way to go for me.
Isn't the groove on the one from Halfords not wide enough? It says it's 10 mm wide.
I measured the strengthened seam on ...

I went out and measured the sill on my car.
The slot is not wide enough on the alloy pads I linked to.

I'm going to lift the car two times a year just to change tyres. I don't want to make this more complicated than it has to, but still...

I'm not able to find pads with the same size and design on ...

I'm about to buy a trolley jack so that I can change my tyres.
For this I will need a jack pad since the car needs to be lifted on the seams.

I have no experience in jack pads.
I have read a lot of horror stories about rubber jack pads breaking in half.

What jack pad should I get so that I don't ...

There is this one: https://www.pioneer-car.eu/eur/products ... o1-pl2-val
It's quite expensive so I haven't decided yet if I think it's worth the money.

I had the exact same symptoms on my previous VW Lupo. Replacing the coolant temperature sensor solved the issues.
It is quite common that the coolant sensor fails on Lupos (I had to replace it twice during the 11 years I had the car).
I have no idea if the sensors have gotten better since.

16,5 cm both rear and front.
You can see it on the link at the top, or if you google for the Focal speakers that VikingGTI has.

VikingGTI, that looks impressive. Was it easy to fit the speakers? Did you have to cut/modify the A-pillar for the tweeters?
Where in the car do you have the Match PP62DSP?

Did you try the Match PP62DSP with the original speakers or the Focal speakers without the DSP, which one does the most magic ...

Thank you for the reply!

Any suggestions on which speakers to go for?

Does it make a noticeable difference changing the rear speakers?
Since the inside of the car is so small, I suspect that replacing the front speakers will make the most difference.

I have plans of replacing the original speakers in my 6C from 2017.
I have found a few model specific speakers for Polo 6R. Will they fit on a 6C the same way as in a 6R?
For example these: http://www.car-hifi-radio-adapter.eu/en/car-speaker/vw/vw-polo-v-6r-car-speakers-german-winner-upgrade.html ...

How did it go with this one? Did you have to replace the USB port?

Are you happy with the player?
See: viewtopic.php?f=56&t=68456

I'm thinking of getting one of these (AVIC-EVO1-PL2-VAL).
Is it worth the money?

Does the sound get better using the standard speakers?

Is it easy to install?
Does it use the existing bluetooth microphone or do you have to use an external one?
Where do you place the GPS antenna?

I was hoping to be able to play FLAC files since my music collection is all FLAC.
But it seems that I have to convert my music to MP3s in order to play them in my car from SD.
Is there a way to upgrade something in my car in ...
