i bought mt GTI back in novemeber from a main dealer and got a 12 month warranty with it. it only covers thw main components stated by JDism.

i guess its only worth getting if you think your gearbox may go in the next year.

i'm glad i have mine but wouldnt have paid £350 for it!

Hi Dan

i too have an N95. I use the sat nav which is come pre installed (well it did on O2) and it works fine. Usually takes a few mins to get a GPS signal but works fine once its found it. I go into Tools and GPS data first, let it find a signal, then go onto the sat nav.

hope this helps.

Well i thought id let u lot know that ive been talking 2 martin halland of reyland (if u know ur cossies aswell u will know who he is and how good he is!) And he has agreed 2 look into developing a gearbox conversion for the polo gti /6n2 ! Basicly this means he will find a way 2 fit another fwd bo...

good work mate! lots of useful info on there.

whats the best thing to use to clean the bbs alloys? is it ok to use the usualy alloy wheels cleaner. i'm just a bit wary as i know they are a little,well, sensitive! i bought my gti back in novemeber from a main vw dealer. they refurbished the wheels but there are already signs of decay...not good....

ooops sorry, should have searched first. thanks anyway

whats the difference between a £200 setup and a £800 setup? quality of materials, adjustability etc?

i saw the other day somewhere it said 3000, is this correct?

i very rarely see a fellow GTI.

if im honest he was setting off and i was approaching in 2nd gear at about 3500rpm! i like to think i kept up well, which i did for a short while before the vtec kicked in and he pulled away!

there's certainly no point racing a fellow GTI. it is however nice to 'suprise' people now and again. eg business men in their rep mobiles. people dont appreciate the Polo GTI, probably because they are rather rare and you dont seem them often.

i cant say they look nice to be honest, much better black.

one of the lads at work has a typr-r, he was suprised how well the GTI keeps up with it!!

I remember getting in mine for the first time. My previous cars were a 73bhp Mk5 Fiesta and a 84bhp Mk7 Polo, so I definately noticed the difference! i went from driving a 1.0 polo to the GTI. quite a difference!! i couldnt get used to the power at first, was wheel spinning it all the time. in the ...
