I would also like to know where it was sourced.. Can seem to find this intake for the new 1.8L variant. Did you just retrofit one to suit the car ?Deejbb wrote:Where did you source that? What do you think of it?polocks wrote:fitted today

DTUK offer it on their website for £429.99.
You've had it a few weeks now haven't you Polocks? Is 248bhp in a Polo feeling as crazy as it should?

Picked mine up from the dealership today and I have to say - blown away! I had a 100 mile drive back home and it was a joy to drive.
I've been fortunate to own the 1.4 GTI previous to this one and i can honestly say that in my opinion - it's better than it in everyway. I loved my previous GTI don't get me wrong but this one blows it away. I did have my doubts this morning when driving my DSG if i was doing the right descision in swapping for a manual but its such a lovley gearbox, with the clutch lovley and light - there was defiantly no need for concern. Strong engine, pulling in every gear and constantly wants to go. Interior, a great place to be very tasteful and superb quality.
I ordered mine with the following
- Nav
- Convenience Pack
- Cruise & Park Pack
I managed 37mpg on my way back which i thought was pretty respectfull for a new engine and combination of Dual Carriageways and A roads.
Mine also has a squeek when braking some times but as Andy mentioned, this dissapears after a while so no need for concern hopefully .

I also had the squeak coming from the rear but it disappeared at about 150 miles, averaging 33mpg though my commute to work is only 8 miles so the car is only just coming up to temperature. I find it a real handful in first gear when accelerating harshly, not sure if it's the wheels spinning or the traction control killing the power.

Thanks DelB - it's fabulous! I didn't floor it at any period so haven't yet experienced the full power or whelel spinning in 1st but dealer did mention that cars these days do not need running in - not sure if its true or not!

Mine's due to be built next week. Thought I could handle the wait ok, but every time I see photos of you guys picking up your new cars it's getting tougher and tougher!!

That's good news! It's worth the wait - trust me, as everyone would agree i think!
