Time 2 Get ECU'd!!!

[572]

The APR for the Polo GTI is just a reflash, not a solder type. I stood there while they uploaded it!

Yes western sydneys not so good

Hi i just renewed mine with shannons cost $965 and is under limited use and im 32 .I am driving only every now and then.I,v been into rc cars and have a company car so have not been using the polo but after finding this forum my interest is starting to pick up seems like a ecu upgrade makes a big difference.May have to think of getting one done .I know the apr is a solder in type chip upgrade does any other type just re flash the ecu with out opening it up i
used to have a 04 forester and mrt just re flashed it did not solder anything.can you do this with the gti polo?

western suburbs is the killer. i've just turned 21, zero offences paying over 2 grand with nrma/stock car

[MissVuks]

wow thats obscene! How old are you MissVuks? I'm 26 and even though i'm on fleet insurance (car is on a novated lease with autopia) i did some quotes before i got the car, they all hovered around 800-900

gotta love my fleet policy though

im 24 in september.. 0 claims, 0 driving offences 0 suspensions etc

they said it may have something to do with my area and it being high risk. But what i don't get is that nrma obviously doesn't consider it that high risk as my premium is only 1200.. i would have thought all the insurance providers would all pretty much have the same areas deemed low or high risk??

Then the funny thing is just car quoted me 1350 with the chip which isn't that bad.. but essentially they are the same company

obviously just cars allows modifications, has anyone had any problems with just car and making a claim?

im getting the polo chipped and want it known on my policy.. AAMI quoted me 2700 with the chip, thats still 1.5k more expensive then what im currently paying with NRMA.

under 1k? what are your other details jin? (insurance related)

[Jin]

RACV wouldnt insure me when i mentioned that i was thinking of chipping the car. Moved onto Just Cars with about 5 other mods and the premium is still under 1k.

[Flaps]

I don't see the point in telling the insurance company the car is chipped. If you made a claim, why would the assessor be driving the car over 20kph? Would they even know what a stock Polo GTI goes like?

Having said that I'm with Justcars so I have it on my policy since it doesnt matter if I have 1 mod or 50.

Would I have to tell my insurer if I got my pogo chipped?

Yes, you should.

[poloplayer]

Unfortunately AAMI refused to insure me, so Im with RACV. Do you guys know whats the go with them?

[VW GTI]

Under 25s are only allowed 1 performance enhancing mod with AAMI. Including a smaller steering wheel.

[572]

You should I'd imagine - it's in the list of modifications for AAMI and has no affect on my premium, so I'll tell them.

Its totally up to you...Considering that the chip can be turned on and off, and is mostly undetectable, I won't be telling them if and when I get it done...But at the end of the day, its your car, and your money.
