What did you do to your Polo today?

[WHTPOLOGTI]

Just ordered air vent gauge pod and no buzz t fitting from awesome gti for my nsp boost gauge. Hopefully this will stop the gauge from buzzing/hissing when car hits boost and give the gauge a sleek o.e factory look.

Only just realised the steering wheel had reach adjustment today, haha. Went out for a drive to celebrate a slightly more comfortable seating position!

Haha, it does? You mean not just up and down? I didnt know either.

lol... I'm sure if you guys read your owners manuals, you'll find LOTS of features that you never knew about! Not only things like the telescopic steering adjustment which not many people expect at this price point, but lots of unique little VW features or ways of doing things

[kangfu]

Cant wait to drive home now, hahah.

I've also got a new phone with Android OS on it. Have a windshield phone holder, cheap ebay bluetooth OBD II dongle and the Torque app. Lots of useful information realtime now which is cool. Used to use a tablet PC but obviously not mounted on my dash.

Just recieved my SWG air vent gauge pod, am going to have a crack at installing it later this week along with the Autometer Cobolt boost gauge

Thats great!, my R32 doens't even have this... I don't think my missus knows, so will have to tell her.

Its ok... after 2 years of Polo GTI ownership, Ive only just relized what the little tool that takes the plastic caps off the wheel nuts are for

Yeah, its so simple yet so effective.

On as side note, can you tell me (or show me) how the jack sits in the casing that secures the spare wheel? Someone it out, and I can't work out how it goes back in!

Thanks

Exactly my setup. Looks great. Cops actually pulled me over for an RBT and thought it was stock, haha.

Base of the jack sits low, top of the jack sits high with the arm to the side.

My new brakes should be arriving today, cant wait to get to the track to try them out... I've also just purchased some D2 coilovers too. They're on special for $999 for today only at AUTOsports daily deals

re steering wheel adjustment: Seriously?? My Mk IV GTI does! Just push/pull the wheel when you've released the lever underneath, it's all built in to the same adjustment

Theres a guide thread on here somewhere, i used it when i got my car last year to get my jack in right, took a few attempts but the pics and description in that thread helped me no end, have a look back through to try and find.

oh really?

Thanks, that would be great. Its quite embarassing to stand there, huddled over the thing, moving and trying. almost feels like you're trying to fit a square into a circle

Oh my goodness. it has!

FINALLY test fitted one of my 14" alloys to make sure that they cleared my brakes - probably should have done this BEFORE I had tyres fitted to them but it all work out....
