Hi everyone, can anyone tell what the fuel economy is like and km per tank best?
Thanks

6.5lt per 100 just schlepping around town in mine. Using BP 98 exclusively if that makes a difference.

I'm getting about 6.0-6.5L per 100. Best over 2hrs of driving is 4.9L per hundred!

My vibrations went away after a $40 wheel balance. Bought an R not long after... Same thing.

Hello Guys,

Been on this forum for years. Had various Golf "R"s. Still got Mk 7.5 "R"
About to replace my daily drive (Ford Fiesta ST) with a 2018-2019 Polo GTI. Given that the engine seems very strangled (from various posts), I am surprised at the lack of "go bits" available. Or am I just looking in the wrong place.

Only got my GTI a couple of weeks ago and first thing I did was contact BSR Tuning in Sweden about tuning kit for this model. They are still working on PPC3 for the 2 litre Polo version. If their kit for the Golf VII is any indication then expect somewhere in the region of 55HP and 75Nm increase

I spoke to Superchips (have them in two cars) they have nothing in the pipline for the Polo GTI, pretty sad.

Yes you are right they already have the JB4. I have been speaking to a guy named George from Burger (seems to be the developer). It looks and sounds great but a bit of an exercise to install. They are available from Autoinstruct in Australia. Would like to chat to someone who has actually installed one.

The Superchips is just so simple to install and gives almost as good results as the bigger names.

I have installed 2 x JB4's (one in a Golf GTi and one in an R) and they are simple, just unplug and plug in the main connectors then join one wire with a simple connector. The only real trick is passing the ODB connection through the firewall which is not that hard, there are plenty of OEM wiring routes to follow. There are heaps of videos on the installation, MQB platform VW's are not that different so it doesn't have to be video for a particular model. If you doubt your own ability have an auto electrician or mechanic install it, if it takes more than half an hour I'd be stunned.

Gary thanks heaps for that.

I have posted heaps of DIY's on the golf.net.au forum so don't doubt I could install the JB4.

Hi guys, got my GTI in Reef Blue with the DAP last Saturday and am absolutely loving it! A big upgrade over my previous car in every way (a 2011 manual Mazda 3). The power upgrade alone is addictive, let alone all the creature comforts and how well-made it feels.

Next upgrade: roof racks so I can re-mount my bike carrier. Seems a shame to ruin that nice roofline, but practicality wins out!

Also, paint protection

Remember if you fit the VW Roof racks you can no longer open the sunroof, if you had one fitted.

Thanks. No sunroof luckily, so should be OK.

This same problem happened to me - I know you posted this a while ago, but did you have it resolved?

I had it fixed with a Balance, Alignment, Road force balance and 2 new tyres courtesy of Bridgestone.

Unfortunately it was a bit of a challenge as VW don't cover tyres under warranty and Bridgestone didn't really want to do much with it either - got it done in the end though!

I picked mine up 2 weeks ago for $37,000 for for $500 cheaper that’s good as long as that’s new not demo with kms on it.

I picked mine up - 1300kms, Lux pack, driver assist, reef blue for $29,900!
