New GTI
Re: New GTI
Does any one else think that the Wee Gti is actually quicker than the official figures suggest????

Re: New GTI
Applied H2go to windscreen a week or so ago. Great on motorway as hardly use wipers but getting lots of wiper judder. Prepared the screen properly and have cleaned wipers. Tried to remove it with eraser panel wipe but looks like its tough stuff, any ideas
Re: New GTI
I got 0-100kmh in 6.3 in the dry so I think so, not sure if the 0-100 in the figures is for a manual or dsg, though mine is a manual.rm55mcc wrote:Does any one else think that the Wee Gti is actually quicker than the official figures suggest????

Re: New GTI
Top Gear tested it repeatedly at 6.2 0-60mph - faster than the Golf GTI they also tested. I think I've noted this earlier in this thread. Apparently the secret is avoiding wheelspin in gears 2 and 3 if you can:JackM_24 wrote:I got 0-100kmh in 6.3 in the dry so I think so, not sure if the 0-100 in the figures is for a manual or dsg, though mine is a manual.rm55mcc wrote:Does any one else think that the Wee Gti is actually quicker than the official figures suggest????
http://www.topgear.com/car-news/hot-hat ... g-strip#19 Use the left and right arrows on the screens to see the other cars tested against.
I've just come in from a quick drive and it STILL puts a smile on my face when you put your foot down - and that's without activating the sports button. My observation of the sports button is that it seems to need about a mile or so for the suspension to 'calm down' and become just a little more compliant after activating the sports mode - otherwise it's all good!

Re: New GTI
Hello all,
Long time lurker, first time poster!
I ordered my Polo GTI this week so the wait begins for me. Trading in a Fiesta ST Mountune MP215 for it.
Roll on March (hopefully!!)

Re: New GTI
Anyone know what would happen if you replace the suspension with a sport equipped model? would it give a fault with the sports button? got coilovers sat here from my old 6r which should fit..

Re: New GTI
Probably would yes... It's an expensive feature to choose the DCC just to swap it out with another suspension... The dampers on your car now is the main component of that system. Won't work without them.Willoughbyyy wrote:Anyone know what would happen if you replace the suspension with a sport equipped model? would it give a fault with the sports button? got coilovers sat here from my old 6r which should fit..

Must be standard? I didn't spec anything for the glass.

Cool...Thought so! Is that solid black or more than likely metallic with that shine ?
