My Polo Blue GT

Post by 27_craig »

Image

I thought I would just share my new polo blue gt with you! I’ve had the car a week and absolutely love it! It’s performance is incredible for a 1.4 tsi, I also love the dsg box!

What do you all think if the silver with black roof?

Only one thing I have to moan about is I am a little disappointed with the ride, it seems a little harsh and can feel every single little bump etc ! But I guess this is to be expected with the sports suspension and low profile 17 inch tires!

Yea. I love my GT too.
And with DSG software from TVS Engineering, it drives like a dream :D

Cool,

Sorry for sounding thick but what does the software actually do??

Can you tell me about the ride in your polo as I can feel everything through my steering wheel? I’m sure it’s normal and I’m just not used to a car with sports suspension and low profile tyres and I just need reassuring that it’s normal?

Thanks

Hi craig.

The software does its job, by letting the gearbox change gears extremely fast!
Higher pressure on the clutches to prevent microslip.
Paddleshift delay delete and a hole lot of other goodies😎
Different settings in “drive” “sport” and “manual” mode👍🏼

Look at the chart and find “Stage 2+”
That is what i have now

Do you want some lows to go with that ride?

Got some H&R lowering springs, 2 months old....

Hi Peter

In your image it showed launch control possible at stage 3. Is that possible on a DSG box that doesn't have launch as standard?

Thanks mate

Yes it is.
But I wouldn’t recommend it.
It’s harsh for the transmission for the long run.

Hi,
I see that you have a front splitter on your GT.. please could you advise which one you went for as I’m struggling to find one compatible!
