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

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

Sounds to me like your tune has been wiped. With the tune you should have approx 80-85kw at the wheels.

What brand of dyno was it? Dyno Dynamics or Mainline?

[VWplo]

Nah I didn't get I dyno run when I first got it tune a couple of months ago.
It defiantly doesn't feel like its running anywhere close to 100kw
Idk really, I'll have to have a chat with John from DNA

Lucas, yeh that's about what I would be expecting if the tune was running.
I think I'll just re flash it and get a dyno run before and after.
What I don't get is how it could have been wiped. It hasn't been serviced or anything like that.
Maybe I didn't flash it properly to begin with :s

Knocked the spraying fee for the R20 bumper down to $350 happy days, hopefully only two weeks to go until its ready to go!

Did the flash get put on by John@DNA via his laptop or did you do it yourself with a flash loader or laptop etc? It's never happened to me personally, but ive heard that sometimes the flash wont write properly to the ECU due to low battery voltage / poor connection in the cable etc. Also if the battery is disconnected some cars will revert back to the stock tune apparently.

When you first did the tune did you notice the difference in power/torque? It should be pretty noticeable (eg big grin when you put your foot down - especially the first few times).

Given the power reading your got and the fact that its running rich that sounds to me like its the stock tune. Im sure John will sort you out and get you tuned up again.

Thats a pretty decent price. Keen to see what it looks like. Do the black lower grill inserts come already in gloss black or do you have to get them painted aswell?

They come already pre-done in a matte/gloss black (more matte).

hows the ride? easy to install/adjust? can they get lower?

The ride feels better than stock in my opinion. I got pedders to install, they are easy to adjust with the supplied tool. At the moment I have them set on the heighest setting to start with and that is 45mm at the back and 25mm at the front lower than stock height, and they can go a lot Lower. I love the new feel and look. Next is a tune and CAI when viezu gets their sh#t sorted out in Brisbane.

Weitec are made by KW and have very good reviews and the price is very reasonable. About $1000 landed and $300 install with a wheel alignment/balance.

Yeah. Got them on sale. But also check out dcperformance. Will take about 3 weeks to arrive if you order.
