What have you done with your Polo so far (and today)

[VEEEUU]

Would H&R manufacture a spring that is so low that the rear shocker is riding on the bump stop?

If this is right, should there be a product instruction/warning? Also, are there shockers that have a compatible stroke length for the 55 rear springs?

Look forward to responses.

Window cover is worth it on any car with a rain or light sensor

Yeah the 77TSI has the 929kg axle load as its one of the lighter motors.

Also I would recomend you get the 25/40 instead of the 35/55 unless you are getting them for a really good price or want the extremely low look.

The 35/55 will push the rear wheel forward (by about 1cm which is noticable if your looking for it) becuase of the suspension geometry - an ECS correction kit can fix this if you really like the low look and care if the wheel is centred.

Also as its so low the ride is rock hard, good for reducing body roll but bad for your back. As a result of the lowering the shock also sits on the bump stop (which explains the rock solid ride) so also keep in mind the damage that could be done to the shocks as they are almost always fully compressed.

ECS kit won't work on polo as the beam hangers are welded and not bolted like the mk4 golf.

God damn it your right! Just checked and they are welded. Ok so to summarise don't ever get the H&R 35/55 springs. Rear wheels goes inwards and CANNOT be fixed, its so hard you will be visiting your chiropractor frequently and because it sits on the bumps stop chances are your shocks will be stuffed in no time!

Only plus - it's really low, which personally I'm not much of a fan of really low cars.

I only got them becuase they were cheep

Yeah, what the photo doesn't show is the roughly eight 50mm cracks radiating from the impact point, at least two of which go all the way to the edge of the screen. It's well and truly stuffed and sounded like someone discharged a firearm in the passenger seat when it hit.

I'll certainly be requoting my insurance, especially since I'm moving to the country next week - up your way actually!

Manual box or DSG? Good to know they have recognised the issue.

Actually the campaign number you referenced is for DSG's isn't it.

DQ200 7 Speed DSG, so far the manual box has been faultless unless I'm mistaken?

Its nice to meet a technician who takes pride in the brand / quality...if only some other techs would do their job with similar gusto...

Awesome news, Budd! Glad I was able to help!

The senior technician at Denlo (Ken) is a really nice guy! You're spot-on, he really takes pride in his VW's and goes well out of his way to ensure that any customer concerns are fixed. If only all dealerships were like this!
