What did you do to your Polo today?

[leitch]

Looks so good, man. Nice one.

The rims look sweet tooch. Think i need to go for a drive randomly around the area until i find them in the flesh.

[tooch]

Thanks guys

Walker, now you'll know which silver GTI is mine, as there is an identical one driven by an old man who lives very close to my house

I don't have a Polo, yet. Going to test drive a white 2006 GTI and most probably purchase. Have test driven them before and loved it, so hopefully this one is nice and straight and will be mine pretty soon.

Already planning mods...

Mine is also under 'coil pack' recall. Apparently they assess, and change if necessary? I thought they would replace with new units straight away... what sort of test would they do??

[bfeboi]

if its anything like the Audi "campaign" they check the part number against a list of superseeded parts, if the coil pack fitted to the car not on the list then it will be replaced with the new coilpack

[noone]

I cant see why they would recall and then not replace, you pretty much need to discect the whole thing to see if its bad. I guess you could do a bench test, but they would only cost a few $ each to produce, so expect mine to be replaced without any issues.

Ive not noticed any issues with the Coilpacks, I'll be asking to keep the dud ones when mine goes in next tues, but don't expect they will let me keep them.

[bfeboi]

the recall would cover a variety of vehicles and the cars affected are the one built within a certain period, that the manufacturer has identified. For warranty purposes they keep all the parts so when its time for the dealer to claim the money from manufacturer they have proof that the repair was carried out.

Our warranty officer always gets pissed off at me because i throw out the items not realising its a warranty item. he always lectures me about the warranty process

So I just bought a Polo GTI. Candy white, leather. Pick it up tomorrow afternoon hopefully...

Good move, son.

Thanks. Probably get myself a whiteline RSB first, 24mm?

[kaanage]

Are you trying to kill off understeer?

[Buller_Scott]

i think i got the 22 mm one... made a decent improvement to turn in, especially seeing as we dont get a rear sway bar from factory.

one thing, though - dont install it with it set on "max" setting - it will snap oversteer on you like a motherfcker... ask me (and 2 bent wheels) how i know....

[ml16]

Yeah, make it more balanced and sit flat.

No RSB at all? Crazy! Do they have all the mount points etc ready to go?

Mines on Max setting. Never had an issue with oversteer. I love it
