Hi all,
i have a 2002 9n polo 1.9TDI and im getting bored of its standard-ness.
What things can i do to get some more power out of it without spending silly money and does anyone have any rims for sale that would fit?
Ive heard about using a PD160 intake....cant find one anywhere....anyone got one to sell?
cheers,
Dan

Hi mate, for the pd160 intake PM the guy from VAG parts in that section of the forum and he'll set up an order for you.
Failing that, go to
www.vagparts.com & look under polo, then engine and its the only mod on there its £32.88 + VAT.
Bearing in mind it will be cheaper if you do it through the forum!
Hope this helps, Meeks.

not all that much that can be done to tdi that doesn't cost alot of money. your talking remap, fmic, full exhaust system etc!
there is a guy on here that does custom remaps for tdis and his name is RichardBW, a few members have had them done by him so give him a PM, he is very reasonable!

so this PD160 intake is only the front piece of hosing for the air intake? would it not be more beneficial to fit a proper performance filter system?
thanx for all your comments,
dan

If you fancy making a cold air intake box and using a performance filter then it might be slightly more benificial. But it seems that using the standard air box, with a good panel filter and the bigger intake works for most people.

get it remapped, power for pound it's the best solution. you can spent 90 quid on an air intake and filter to get 3bhp, or 300 on an exhaust for 8bhp,
a remap is 200-250 and gets 30bhp and way more torque over the entire rev range.
it may be more than you want to spend but the end result is worth it.
