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

[Harrydhillon]

Seems you have made a wrong connection, not to worry it's easily done and I'm sure I can help you out, I have had mine on and off several times and have plenty of close up photos of each connection.

Rather than fiddle around attaching photos here please PM me an email address so I can send you the photos.

Thank you ! PM sent !

Calling all JB1 users..
Installed it today, finally... the car didn't like it.. it starts, then dies in about 15secs.. tried connecting to the JB1 using the software, didn't like it either... can anyone help with sending pics of all the connections ? And where did you get the software.. I have been reading stuff on the other forum on software and where to download ( as posted by George) and I am pretty sure I am doing everything correct. Help!!

For others benefit maybe highlight what the issue ended up being, might save us from falling into the same trap.

Seems likely it's plug A and plug D not connected correctly. Harrydillon yet to have another go and probably realizes more research/reading prior to fitting was required.

Please excuse me answering for you Harrydillon.

I'm happy to post up my photos, links etc but suspect it might be a wasted effort as in time the post will 'get lost' in the mirriad of other posts.

Haha thanks car_nut, no not at all. Of course, I can't ask for help and then not update the forum with the outcome. And yeap, what he said, I haven't had a chance to try it. Work and social life gets in the way of car mods [emoji16]

No worries, give it a few days and let us know what you think.

Looking for some help, can you download and install updates for app-connect for the Polo GTI.. or is this only a service centre function?

Today I got a OEM+ Stage 1 Tune and Front Resonator Delete. = )

Big 48hrs to celebrate her 2nd birthday;

- Wash/Clay/Swirl remover/polish and wax
- Rims off, inside of wheels cleaned along with calipers and wheel arch liners. Exhaust tips polished with metal polish. Bolts greased up with copper grease.
- LiquiMoly intake clean (solvent) followed by oil and filter change.

Love it!

Bolts - copper grease. Use a minimum and keep it off the tapered seat.

Torque measurements are given for a clean, non-lubricated fastener, so you shouldn't use any grease at all but I can understand wanting to counteract any additional corrosion. Lubrication increases the clamping force for the same torque value (120Nm on VW product?) with a higher potential to strip the thread.

I'm not saying you over-lubricated but others might.

I said nothing about rattle guns.

Wheel bolts are one of the few things I bother to use the torque wrench on. You'd be surprised how over-tight and uneven most people do wheel nuts.
120Nm isn't a lot. A 45kg weakling can undo that with the standard wheel brace.

Using a lubricant on the threads, the 120Nm is more like 180Nm in reality.

Interesting you mention this, I usually torque my wheel bolts to 120 as well. But whenever VW rotates my tires after a service they are always done so much tighter, after that I never really bother as much

It's actually the reverse, with unlubricated threads and taper (on the bolt and the wheel) 120 Nm (at the tension wrench) is more like 100 Nm (that the bolt feels). The bolts are spec'd for 120 Nm of stretch, so if we only tighten them to a real world 100 Nm they are not tightened to their spec.

Plus the corrosion only gets worse if not cleaned and lubricated, so whilst the 100 Nm is the actual tightness it will take much more to undo the bolts. I've seen over 200 Nm required to undo badly corroded wheel and bolts.
