What did you do to your Polo today?

I'll tell you know the KU31s suck in the wet.


I put my BMC filter in last night.

Can't be any worse than the Nexen N3000 the previous owner put on there :S

Finally fitted the solid rear lower control arm bushes last night. after struggling to install the first one last night was a breeze (40min). when for a drive and wheels feel more stable underload inthe corners.

My Polo GTI with stock suspension and only 30,000km on the clock is having it's rear suspension replaced by the dealer soon. As someone who lives in Sydney but regularly works in Brisbane, I really don't think many Brisbane drivers truely appreciate at how bad some of the roads in Sydney are. I've had this argument many times with my close Brisbane friends. 1 car trip with me in my local area when they're down to visit is enough to cease all arguments.....

+1 to this, was in Sydney for the nats, dam the roads are bad, noticeably worse than the majority of roads up here.

Mine's been turning over a bit slowly for a month or so, but it spat the dummy and didn't want to fire at all this morning. The cage thing has 3 clips down low that are a pain to get to. Big flat head screw driver is a help. Also battery is a standard DIN 53 size I think. I picked up a Century from supercheap.

Edit: theres a bracket with one bolt at the front of the battery which holds it down (figured out after several puzzled minutes trying to wriggle it out)

Changed the gearbox oil over to Redline MTL and then swapped in a new fuel filter yesterday.

Both were surprisingly easy... even if the gearbox plugs were particularly hard to get out (stupidly tight)

Hi all,

I had some H&R springs fitted last week. I'm pretty happy with it all so far!

Oil Change and APR Engine Mount Insert goes in tomorrow... hope the results are good.

APR mount is a very worth mod...changes tighter & smoother from my experience...little bit more vibration at stand still but if you have exhaust done im sure that won't bother you much

Drove a company vehicle - Holden SV6 wagon.

Made me appreciate the Polo more, the 6 was pretty average in terms of power and handling.

used to drive those a bit for work .. horrible in the wet, to the point of being downright scarey, the handling is atrocious.

Interim oil & filter change with Penrite Enviro+ 5W-30. Also swapped in the ECS magnetic sump plug.
