Re: old polo owner returning with new gti
Glad you managed the pick up yesterday, it's a shame the weather is bad. However as you said the heated seats are really useful when it's cold.
Hope you get some nice pics of the car in the snow?

Re: old polo owner returning with new gti
No need it's much better than 6speed I had in golf so smooth too, many ibizas run no problems on maps. Just emailed milltek about development of an exhaust I'll let you know of the outcome. I'm also putting pressure on revo for a map.
Test fitting my viper induction from golf too I'll post pics of that prob after Xmas though

Re: old polo owner returning with new gti
GTI looks great. Hope the AA van is there for another car? I will be interested in the mods you make to the GTI to see which changes are successful? The GTI is already quite frisky (compared to the Golf) in a good way so with more power and torque I hope it doesn't make it more difficult to get the power on the road. I really like the way this engine can fire you out of tight corners ( most of my trips are A & B roads so traction is important to me).
Good luck have fun and Merry Christmas.

Re: old polo owner returning with new gti
Also meant to say I agree with you the 7 speed DSG is better than 6 speed in MKV Golf. However VW has improved this in the MKVI Golf so this is just as smooth.
I contacted APR a while ago ref maps and they are also developing one for the Polo GTI. Security is an issue as they said it can take best part of a day to map 2010 MY Golf GTI MKVI, hence haven't gone for it as yet.

Re: old polo owner returning with new gti
Expensive option too
Re: old polo owner returning with new gti
ooooo makes sence. ye there usually around 1000 pound for the xenon option on most cars, im guessing the polo wasnt much different.
Re: old polo owner returning with new gti
Around £650 they are, from what I can remember when I priced one upzedzo wrote:ooooo makes sence. ye there usually around 1000 pound for the xenon option on most cars, im guessing the polo wasnt much different.

Re: old polo owner returning with new gti
£720 option. The demonstrator my dealer had these fitted and I had the car over night, the lights were good but not worth it, so glad I decided a against it.

Re: old polo owner returning with new gti
Will be nice fully loaded its alot lighter steering and if you never had dsg take a bit get used to good handling. Just too quiet for me but ill soon sort it.alot faster than 9n3 feels as quik as my polo when it was tuned. Too high also needs slamming
