Re: VW Service vs Self Service

Polo 6R is still quite new so its best to stick to VW servicing. £149 is pretty cheap anyway. Will make a difference when you sell it on as on a car of this calibre and value a stamped history will be expected.

You sure? I was informed recall is for the DQ 200 (7 speed dry clutch 'box) which is used in all DSG Polo 6Rs

Re: What are these wheels worth?

Yeah £250/ £300. Alloys themselves aren't worth much as they are just standard Polo wheels so its very much dependant on the tyre condition.

Re: Anyone got cheap cheap tyres+wheels I could buy?

don't have any links but just in case you don't know any wheels from a golf mk4/ seat leon/ audi a3/ skoda octavia or related will work as they share the same 5 x 100 stud pattern. likewise with the previous generation polo and ibiza/ fabia. should be plenty to choose from on ebay! just make sure th...

Re: How to reduce turbo lag - Help!

What circumstances are you experiencing the lag? The 1.2 TSI is normally pretty nippy in my experience. Its a bit lethargic in 1st gear as the performance is limited but in all other gears it feels urgent enough.

Re: Ops retrofit info wanted

Should be possible, I'd be looking to the Skoda Rapid/ SEAT Toledo for parts as they are the only cars on this platform which have the OPS standard. Rear only though.

Re: Trade in for another make

Depends on the value of your car against the amount still owed on the finance. Where you trade it in doesn't matter really.

Re: Match 1.4 Ordered

Hi from SEATCupra.net! Think I replied to your thread when you were considering the Ibiza Toca. The Polo should be a nice step up from the up :p Match is a decent spec (particularly the run out Edition version they are currently offering) and 1.4 a solid little engine. Should easily enough return 45...
