Re: Removing side skirts and rear valance on a GTI?

Hi The side skirts you will need to get double side tape for them you will be able to get that from any good auto / body shop supplier about 4 quid a roll last time I bought it prob need two rolls just make sure the surfaces are clean.

Re: New member. New Polo. A couple of small problems to fix.

Gear box you have hit the nail on the head It could be if you are lucky just the clutch release bearing as these do fail if the car has been driven hard or just through time style of driving etc. If you are really unlucky it could be the input shafts on the gear box which is costly to have resolved....

Re: My 1.4 tdi mpg

Best I have ever had out of mine was 79.8 mpg but I was keeping it below 2000 rpm all the time it was tough going but 912 miles out the tank before the red light came on. Other than that 60 plus can be achieved without thinking about it. I have just bought a gti tdi golf 150 bhp and managed to avera...

Re: Front Bushes Replacement - £183????

I got mine done in January and bought the seat bushes £14 and it cost £108 labour but they fitted new anti roll bar bushes and brackets at the same time that I had supplied so if it is supply and fit then they are not far off the mark. I would have done them myself but didn't have the time to do the...

Re: GTI Brake Setup.

I dare say I would be stunned with a 312 mm set up but as it is I nearly get put into the windscreen if I brake hard. I am now just wary of arseholes sitting close to my rear as I know I can brake in time but can they??

Re: GTI Brake Setup.

I would go upto the 312mm if you are going beyond 200bhp its an easy upgrade with parts readily available through ebay etc. I find putting the type of car you want to use as the donor with breaking(not a spelling mistake) in the search request will bring up various models that are being broken down ...

Re: GTI Brake Setup.

I am running 288mm and 232 mm rear I have used mintex discs and ferodo sport pads and the braking is immense no brake fad and never struggles no matter what speed I am doing. I have the 312 mm set up on my golf gti and I have to say the polo is far better.

Re: 9n3 oem shock absorbers

Sorry I havent got back to you they're the standard ones for the polo all are the same even the gti one...
