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,

      Good stuff! I'd be happy with anything near 140 in something like a Polo.

        • Does anyone know how much you would loose through the drivetrain, would it be 142 at wheels be around 175KW at flywheel

          • Well they recon the APR polo puts about 120kw to the wheels @ 152kw flywheel, so 175kw cant be too far off

            • Approx +20% isn't it?

              Comment


              • as far as i know they count 15%

                got my polo tested with a Vbox meter,
                before i had 109Kw @ the wheels, that should be quit correct.
                after custom remap i got 140kw
                what a difference!
                so 140Kw@ the wheels is 190Hp@the wheels.
                +15% is 219Hp @ the flywheel.

                only problem is, i don't have 4bar FPR so the injectors are running at the maximum they can handle.
                and the N249 is opening the diverter at about 3/4 gas.
                so next week i'm going back to my tuner to get the N249 and N112 valves programmed out.
                i also going to put in 380cc injectors (Bosh Green)
                could do it with 4bar FPR but i'm not a fan of raising pressure.
                more pressure = equal to more heat also + the fuell pump is not made to deliver that much.
                i'll let you guys know how it went and i'll put the results on the forum

                • Got my Pioneer AVIC-F900BT installed, rear speakers and reversing camera. The car installer said my PAC canbus was not turning the unit off when the key was on ACC, so i got him to use one of his canbus units. Come to think of it, the RCD200 radio did not turn off until i pulled the key out! My canbus unit may well not be broken...... Anyways, updated my maps to R18.. at least got a win there

                    Your installer was right about the canbus in your 2006 Polo and saved you from the flat battery troubles.

                      What is a PAC canbus unit, did they use a Connects2 one, I have had my Connects2 one fail on me twice

                        I think they used a connects2 as the line item listed it as a CAN01. The PAC unit is this. I also have a Connects2 unit coming next week (long story... not buying from lowcostcaraudio.co.uk again), and only because of a stuff up i ordered the PAC canbus unit, because i had already booked the install.

                          I am going to ring him tomorrow, cos my RCD200 only switched off when i removed the key. So the radio stayed on with the key in the ACC position when i switched the engine off. Just want to clarify it.

                            Too bad you couldn't get out to the dyno day too. It would have been nice to have 3 TDi's there to compare different remaps vs stock

                              Yep, sounds like the installer isn't familiar with the Polo's behaviour
                              I also did away with my CANBUS converter (which didnt work properly anyway), I only miss out on the speed sensor for the GPS. The ACC power can be taken from another wire in the stereo loom. 18+ months later and no flat batteries or issues with my F900BT at all,
