2016 Polo GTI , Deep Black Pearl 5 door... Has anyone experienced a lumpy acceleration through 4.5k RPM? Almost like a second boost but very noticeable and not at all smooth?

Happens everytime. Have tried to get my hands on a power curve graph to see if power/torque increases around this RPM but can't find one...

Help before I call VW

Thanks

i've had mine on a rolling road

this is the thread with the graphs on

Digressing a bit the second video (now below) seems to show a rather poor 0 -100kph run. The guy sits on the limiter in 1st for a second or so before changing up. I'd have thought the outcome could have been a fair bit quicker.

Those videos are better, imho:

Had the car 2 days and now first mod done. Installed a dash cam. I went with the A118c and the nextbase hardwire kit. The only wire showing is the one that goes into the cam from the headlining. The camera itself is really small and pretty much fully hidden behind the rear view mirror. Its not got a suction mount, just a sticky pad so from the outside its pretty inconspicuous.

Quality seems great and for a total cost of about £60 including the hardwire kit it seems great value. Also had to buy a 32gb micro sd card, but they are very cheap now. Really happy and the install took about 30 mins to do in total.

How hard is it to wire up?

Any chance of a pic from drivers seat looking out the windscreen? Cheers

Wiring up through the fuse box is simple with a Nextbase hardwire kit, I personally install my Blackvue cameras with a power magic pro and cut into the wiring loom, install my own ignition sensor and fuse but its easier to do it with a Nextbase. Running cables up the pillar trim and behind the rubber seals is easy, the headlining is easy as well.

Hey everybody,

Don't want to hijack the thread but I have a new gti, 3dr White. Cracking car! Done some stuff this weekend including black roof and mirrors, metal plates and a Volkswagen Motorsport badge. Going to fit led fog lights soon as I think the standard ones look naff with the led main beam. Here's a few pics

Looks really nice. Was thinking of getting tye roof wrapped aswell. One of the reasons i was tempted to go for the sunroof was for the black roof

Out of interest has anyone had issues with the start/stop system?

I know there are certain conditions where it isn't activated (such as if the engine isn't up to temperature, driver not wearing seatbelt or if you're on a hill) but a number of times mine has stopped working with the message 'engine must be running' when clearly it is!

Anyone else experience this/is it a known issue.

Don't know if I can be bothered booking in with the dealer just for this but would be interested to know others experiences.

Its badly translated from German, but it means the engine needs to remain running as something is using to much power.

Hi guys,
Recently fitted a 6c gti bumper to my 6r, however it came with a section of the diffuser missing, see below.
Been trying to find a part number for that section which covers the tow eye for the past 2 weeks but can't find anything. I think the diffuser is available as a whole section, before I go ahead and buy the whole diffuser I thought I'd ask if any of you guys have a part number for the section.

If not would one of you guys mind pulling that detachable section off and see if there's a part number stamped on it? It's held on by clips and is made to come off to reveal the tow eye.
I know its a long shot but worth a try

Thanks in advance guys

Ah I see. At least I know it's not a fault as such then.

Acc running?Never had mine go off with it set higher than a 3rd

First organised polo meet from the owners club Facebook page. Around 22 polos turned up and turned out to be a cracking day. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1615655315371819/
