What did you do to your Polo today?

[WARFURIC]

To me it sounds like he has a Polo GTI .. which is why I questioned the pedals

They were exactly the same. That'll teach me to buy parts before actually taking delivery of the car. At least I now have some spares...

I changed over the antenna and installed the dash cubby a few nights ago. No point in pictures as i'm sure everyone here knows what they look like.

I'm currently deciding on a new headunit, pretty much decided on the top JVC one due to the dual USB inputs. That just leaves me now googling up CANBUS and wiring harnesses. Anyone have advice on wether or not I need a CANBUS adaptor? I was presuming this would be all I needed: VW Polo radio stereo wiring harness adapter lead ISO | eBay UK

Is the above one plug and play, so no soldering needed?

Filled it up with 52.5 litres of diesel (into the 45 litre tank)

I'd be curious about the calibration of the pump... A manufacturer gains nothing by saying a tank is X size when it can take 10+% more.

It was the first time that I tried the vent button trick - I managed to get about 8 litres of extra fuel in vs my 'normal' fill up point. According to reports on the US sites, this allows about 2 extra gallons of fuel to be added to the fill.

I have been doing this for more than 2 months now. Most I have put in is 53L from as close to empty I could get. Managed to get from Canberra to Melbourne on one tank.
Driving up to Sydney yesterday I was down to 6.3L/100, and after 100km the fuel gauge still hadn't moved, and distance to empty was reading 670km. Have done over 200km on this tank now, and the fuel gauge still hasn't moved off full.

Just thought I would add that I have added over 50L of fuel from multiple petrol stations over nsw, vic, and the act too.

You dont need the Canbus adapter, I was lead to believe that I needed one, so I want out and got one, it has failed on me twice in about 14 months. I have ditched it totally,

You will need the other loom you have the link to, I dont know if it is plug and play, depends on the connections on the headunit you put in

Cheers. The linked one is VW -> ISO, so I'll just grab an ISO to which ever brand stereo I end up getting today.

Once the stereo is sorted, I can start hunting down a SEAT PD160 Intake...

i NEED to know how to do this lol... my last drive back from Sydney, I filled up at Gundagai (Dog on Tuckerbox), and had to fill up again at Craigieburn (outskirts of Melbourne) when the refill alert popped up at 40km

Normally I get from Melbourne to Gundagai on a tanks, but just inside the right hand side of the filler neck there is a little black nipple, that is sprung. When you are filling up the tank, and it clicks to a stop, reach in-between the nozzle and the filler neck wall and feel for the nipple. With your finger, push it and you will hear air escape under pressure. Keep doing this until you don't hear anymore air escaping. This how I fit 53L into the tank.
