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

[sssstew]

Looks like I have to sell the polo. Girlfriend is moving in and only have 1 car spot and she only has an auto licence. Was fun while it lasted haha. My next plans were res delete on the milltek and is20/38.

I kinda had the same issue, so had to compromise and get the DSG Polo GTI. Thats an option for you?

Wait is there a street outside?

Live in the cbd pretty much. So there is and I can get a parking pass but combined we'd do 5000kms a year so it's easier to have one car

Ouch! My sincere condolences.

Yeah, not ideal after buying bulk modifications haha but someone will hopefully get a bargain. I'm not in any rush as we both don't drive too often but see how it goes

It is, but I'd more than likely grab a gti pp or an R. I'd prefer to have the 6 speed dsg plus more powerful. She likes modified cars so as long as they aren't too crazy for her it'll be ok.

Installed interior LEDs the other day, used a link submitted by someone here earlier (sorry can't remember who)
They're awesome, so much better than stock and super bright! Colour suits the car much more.

After that I treated all glass with Gyeon View kit. Used it on my last car, it's great, lasts ages and makes the water bead off heaps better.
Gyeon makes so many good products for anyone interested in awesome car care stuff.

Cheers!

Gyeon View looks pretty interesting, i'm keen to give it a go! Was unsure on which glass coating to use on the windows but this one looks good and is reasonably priced.

Yeh Mitch give it a go for sure. Most reviews I've seen by guys that have tried many similar products all rate Gyeon the best. And the guys I buy it off do detailing and reckon it's their favourite glass treatment.

Above 80km/h pretty much no water sticks to the glass.

First time I used it I stuffed up badly, but since then I've used it two more times and it's been great.

Main thing is not to rush the process and use plenty of elbow grease to buff everything off. Also, 1 bottle is more than enough to coat all windows, unlike instructions say front and 2 sides, that's for like a bus, and pouring it on.[emoji23]

Just had the Resonator or mid muffler deleted....Car has a nice tone not to lound much like having the sound actuator on but you get that sound coming from the rear rather then the whole car, my sound ACTUATOR is set to 0..... so much louder and the farts are awesome.
Got it done at high tech headers...Top job

Keen on doing this, it's just a baffle around a straight through pipe isn't so no change to flow etc.

Whos done a catback exhaust on their GTI? Is the resonator delete a cut to the pipe or is it a join on both ends?

[stiffy86]

Speaking of exhausts I'm selling my turbo back milltek for 6c gti. I've lost my stock exhaust so will happily work out with any Brisbane locals a trade deal.

[Grinos]

May I ask why you are selling the milltek and presumably going back to stock?

So, took my polo for a wheel align and balance today, just to get a call that the lock nut is missing from the car. The last time someone played around with the wheels was the dealer a few months back as I asked them to do a tire rotation during a warranty repair. Apparently whoever used the lock nut didn't return it to where it should be. And I've just returned from a 3200k return trip to country NSW. IF I had a puncture I would have been stuffed!!

Spoke to the dealer today, went in as they had one sitting there, not mine. I just said fix your mistakes as you played with the wheels last, and it has been missing since and walked out. I am yet to hear from the service manager. Might give them a call tomorrow when I am thinking a little more clearer.

I am DONE with the local guys here, they aren't touching my car again. Every time it goes in they tend to hunt through my car for my OBDEleven dongle, use it and leave it sitting on the seat.. invading my privacy as it normally sits under the seat storage box.. wonder if the technician will like me going through his table drawer without asking??...

Now to get a replacement lock nut and all my diagnostics details so I can take it to another dealer... don't care if I have to drive 2 hours to get there.

Love the car but the dealers are really turning me off the brand...


MY15 Polo GTI - Red - DA Pack

Recently my boot started making loud grinding noises when lifting the handle to open. Also when closing the boot, it would often not latch on and bounce back up when closing it shut. It would take a few tries lifting the boot slightly and letting it drop, then it would finally latch and actually be "closed".

After a quick google of the symptoms, and peeling back the boot interior cover, came to the conclusion the boot latch was broken (even though physically it looked fine, worn gears perhaps?)

So a quick trip to the local VW dealer and ~$130 later, picked up a new boot latch (code: 6R0 827 505 D 9B9), installed it myself in about 10min and now as good as new!

Thought it would be a good heads up for anyone else experiencing this issue.

Thanks for posting, it's really helpful when people post these little things that go wrong

No worries. This forum and its posters helped me a lot with my niggles with the car.

Sad to see another Polo go so soon! What's in store for you next?
