Re: iichels Polo 6R 1.2TDI Bluemotion --> OEM++ R-Line conversion

Post by firegrafik »

No, I just suggested the gearbox is still needed the K-line to be connected to the OBDII socket like can-bus. And the possible issue could be is in K-line wire is connected to the BCM's T73b/37 as well so it could cause the reading faults because of 7E0 BCM sends LIN data packets through the T73b/37 to the K-line.
As you wrote T73b/37 is not connetcet at all, so that could not be the reason of reading inability for the 02 addres, so for now I dont have another suggestion...

I think I did it... I replaced all control modules from my car originally came with, with another module. And added some.

- Installed 1.6 TDI engine
- Installed DSG gearbox + gear selector
- Installed K-Line from T25/11 to T16/7 (OBD)
- Adapted immobiliser
- Coded various modules to work in accordance with DSG gearbox

Code: Select all

There are still some small jobs to do, to put the car back into perfect condition.
But for now, I'm pretty f*****g happy

Hi iichel, just found this thread, I've read nearly all of it. Absolutely amazing work done to a humble Polo. Its a long way back, but I'm especially interested in your suspension that you mention on the first page.

"OEM 6R sports suspension springs
Koni FSD shock absorbers all around--> 2100-4122
OEM 1J Rear spring mounts from Cupra -10mm --> 1J0512149"

Do you have the part numbers for the springs? I assume they are OEM GTi springs? Also the Cupra rear spring mounts are something I've not seen before. Is it just a case of swapping the spring mounts and the rear is 10mm lower? I really want to lower my Polo a bit but I can't install aftermarket parts due to my insurance so this really interests me. One other thing, does anyone know if the GTI shock absorbers are different to the normal Polo? Or would I need GTI shocks as well if I was to install GTI springs?
Sorry for all the questions, would love to know more.

No, the springs are not OEM GTI springs, that wouldn't make sense since that's a lot heavier than the 1.2 TDI.
It really depends on the engine and gearbox. And GTI dampers are not specific to the GTI. They also appear on i.e. the 1.6 TDI.
If you do lower, I'd suggest to replace the rear dampers for i.e. Bilstein B4/B6 since 25+mm lowering on the rear will quickly demolish your standard dampers.

You can have a look here for genuine lowering springs --> viewtopic.php?p=444680#p444680

The cupra rear spring mounts will indeed drop you about 10mm.

Wow, thanks for the quick reply.
I wasn't aware of the OEM Sports springs so I was just assuming they were for a GTI. Do you know if the sports springs are designed to be used with the original shock absorbers? Or are there OEM sports dampers available too? I can't fit any aftermarket parts, only OEM stuff so it's a bit difficult to figure stuff out.

If anything the sports springs lower the car too much, the GTI springs lower about 15mm but they are unsuitable due to the weight difference between a 1.8T and my 1.2. Are there any OEM options that lower about 15mm but would work on my 1.2 6R?

I don't think there is an OEM solution for 15mm lower. GTI springs will probably make your car higher instead of lower since you're putting 1200kg springs on a 900kg car...

Usually insurance companies don't really mind non-OEM shock absorbers since you can simply put an aftermarket shock like a Bilstein, Eibach, etc in there instead of a Sachs.
It's not a 'listed' part, so to say. Springs on the other hand are a different matter. But that's based on my own experience with German, Belgian and Swiss legislation. I don't know about the UK but I suspect they are probably just as strict or less strict.

Maybe I will abandon plans to lower it for now then. Going back to the Cupra rear spring seat, is it a straight swap with the standard spring seat? Also, are they the lower or upper spring mount? I assume the one on the left in that picture is the Cupra part?

Yes, it's the left one. It's a straight swap at the bottom.

Would you happen to have a link to where you bought it? I'm only finding them with letters on the end of the part numbers, e.g 1j0512149b,c,g
