Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    Even though I quoted the VIN, and the dealer sourced the appropriate part, it doesn't fit
    Now that's just weird ... I was told by my dealer that the Polo GTI didn't come with a battery cover when I asked.

      The real early polos came with battery covers. (November 05 to March 06 ish) They wont fit the current battery setup..

        argh damn euro cars. well worth it tho
        Hey don't worry about it. Just before I bought my GTI I took my 06 lancer in to mitsubishi for it's 15000km service (my sister was getting it and i wanted it to be all sorted so she didn't have to do it), and it cost me $540.00! I thought mitsubishi's were sposed to be cheap to service. It's actually going to be cheaper to have the polo serviced when I'm paying those prices!!

          I found this pic and thought mine must be missing, which didn't surprise me given the state of the little dub when I got it:



          From what you've said, it might not have one at all (Aug 06 Build). I'd better go and get my $20 back from the dealer.

            I got red pinstripes added to my black bonnet, and added a new sticker to the rear. Also added my short antenna and Dash Cubby on Thursday.

            New sticker and short antenna...


            Bonnet pin stripes...

              Those stripes don't actually look too bad

              I had my Forge TIP installed and also got the swaybar adjusted to the hardest setting.

                  god damn you Ryan, you beat me to it. i have been in contact with PoloGTi getting some details on the stripes as he has had them for a couple of years now. i was looking at getting them done next weekend. how much did they cost you and what sort of shop does this work (panelbeater, signwriter)??

                  looks tops, will def get them done now.

                  Cheers mate,

                    Got it done up here at Sign City here in Darwin. Cost me $70. A bit steep, but they were the only ones up here that could get me in, and even that was at a stretch.
