Has arrived :party: :party:
Bit of a rubbish start due to the dealer losing the service book/manuals pack and locking wheel nut key, then forgot to tax the car and add the service plan :fighting:
But the drive home made it all better :driver: :driver:
The car has been seen by a few forum members today and the boys from KPM, and if Pie's had his way would have got the car stage 2 mapped and part stripped out by now :laugh: :laugh:
Pic's and full details to follow tomorrow when it's been cleaned properly :innocent:

I stay away for sometime and Mr TeaseP is at it again.
I'll guess, as I am a fresher ........ is it a Pillow Polo GTI?
Can't be an Ed35. It will be like double jepordy.

The spec is as follows: -
1.4TSI 180ps DSG
LED DRL Xenon's
Climate Control
Sensor Pack
Convenience Pack
Basically as close to the factory spec I would have ordered as I could find.
Multi-function steering wheel buttons (R Line versions in gloss black to match the rest of the trim) have been ordered and an RNS-510 and bluetooth to follow shortly.
Performance wise I am going to try to drive it for a bit but I am sure the calling to get it mapped will be too strong to resist :laugh: :laugh:

lovin that :happy2:

Very cool, and I personally like the Baby Monzas on it :happy2:

Maybe as Monza Shadows :happy2:

Looking fantastic Steve the rest of the family looks the dogs noo nas as well :happy2:
Darren

Looks really nice, I think out of the trio the polo looks the best. I had a test drive in a Fabia vrs and the engine is sweet. How do you find it compared to mk6 gti you had?
-
I think the 1.4TSI sounds better than the 2.0TSI in the Mk6 and the initial urgency and low down grunt from the supercharger makes it better around town, hasn't got the legs to pull all the way to the red line like the 2.0, and in the higher speed ranges you really feel the difference :smiley:
A question for Eddie or Darren, do you know if it's possible to retro fit auto headlights to the Polo 6R?
-
I thought thats what it would be.
Looks nice but i could never own a black daily driver it would drive me crazy.
-
It will get washed at least once a week so black doesn't bother me like that, on the plus side there isn't many colours that reflect like this :drool: :drool:

And this was before the supernatural :smiley:
-
Well, shave my legs and call me grandma! I have never won anything and this is the first time! And I got a Gold Star!
Congratulations Mr.P. I'm sure within the next 4-6 weeks it will start morphing into something quite different. Roll on the modding. Perhaps we can call it THE ROLO.

If you get your vag-com lead out steve see if there is any option in the BCM for it.
The Rain Light Sensor is the same as in the golf.
The interior mirror in the polo is only listed for the polo. so that might need changing
Do you have a light switch with auto?
-
Looking spanking after a bit of proper TLC mate! Very surprised at how good the paint was all things considered! :happy2:
Those headlights looked the shiz when you drove off! :notworthy:

No auto setting on the headlight switch and the connector on the back is different to the Golf's, had a look on the BCM coding earlier and couldn't see anything that seamed related to the auto lights, there are settings for coming / leaving home.

Cheers Mate, after a proper wash and claying the paint didn't look as good, lots of fillers in their polish me thinks, but pleased how well it's come up after a quick going over :happy2:
-
I would say no :sad1: there is no headlight switch or sensor for it in ETKA, There is no info on it in Elsawin either,

Noice ! :happy2:
Looks quite big there compared to the mk5 ! i take it the mk5 is going to be for purely track use now ?
-
what is the part number of the bcm?

+1. It didn't look particularly big in person but for some reason looks larger in the photo.

what is the part number of the bcm?

The polos are quite scaled back on the electronics front :( Not even an option of highline which it really should have!
No light sensor either or option of - we looked into this on the Polo forum im part of
Overall a great little car though. I keep meaning to go up the local stealers and take one out for a spin to see what they are really like, though id probably make the salesman sh*t his pants! :signLOL:

Im not a bad driver at all
I just would put it through its paces, and knowing the sales people at breeze they wouldn't be to favourable of such a road test!

The GTI has highline :happy2:
-
LOL Steve. Didnt see this thread on here. Just posted this on UK Polos.
Steve, you just purchased this from Birmingham VW (Johnsons) from under my nose??? :fighting: :grin: If its the same car, which it looks like it.
I was ready to leave a deposit on it, when the guy at VW called me back to say it had been sold, after i had been trying to work out a deal all day, after visiting it the day previously. :party: It was a great price, considering only 4500 miles on it as an ex-demo. They had another CW which they offered me, but the options on it were not as good and it was commanding strong money (as much as i got my brand new one for through work).
Oh well, not to worry. Its meant i have ordered one in the exact spec i wanted from work instead, as i preferred CW.
Enjoy!!!
Ive ordered:
Candy White 3dr
Convenience Pack
Sensor Pack
Bi-Xenons with DRLs
MFSW
Climate
Steve, out of interest, how much were the MFSW buttons? I might cancel it as an option if they are cheaper to purchase separately.
-
You 100% on that steve - as far as I was aware, it was a midline, and VW still don't list high line as an option on the site/brochure.
The only difference is having the MFSW which gives you control over the hidden parts.
-
Depends on what you class as highline, to me it's a full height graphical display, midline is a part icon part graphics display. The 6R GTI comes with a full height display.
-
I was terming it on functionality, but yes agreed its full height :smiley:
-
Im not a bad driver at all
I just would put it through its paces, and knowing the sales people at breeze they wouldn't be to favourable of such a road test!
Oh ok. Thought you were commenting on your driving. I am sure Salespersons see a lot of 'fast' driving.
-
Looks lovely. Those headlights look awesome too.

is that not a highline dash on a polo??
-
Looks the same as mine :wink:
-
Steve is the polo not same has the A3 dash? on the A3 you can change the functionality of the highline from full DIS to low and it will only give you so much info a bit like the midline with just the MPG and so on?????
Darren
-
Lovely car Steve....and in the right colour too :love:
Nice and light too at around 1200kg with a full tank of 99ron.
You like what I do about the car too. That supercharger makes all the difference for the set-off in comparison to a turbo. I also agree that it needs a little more oomph up top too.
Can't wait for mine to land in blighty. :party: :jumping:
-

Darren
The dash appears to be closer to the Mk6 rather than the A3, but you can access multiple stats (mpg, oil temp, range, digital speed, etc) from the default menu and by holding the up selection button for 2 seconds you get to a selection screen to go into the Vehicle status, MFD or setup screens, so to me it's still highline :smiley:
-
Certainly is I think with the mk6 gti wheel you should be able to make use of the buttons and extra menu's? Very nice though Steve, there's a CW one down at the local dealer and every time I go in I'm drawn straight to it :grin:
Thing is my wife has turned round and now said she wants a car that I don't have to modify :signLOL: and give me the go head for a mk6 GTI/GTD but not till next year so I don't know which way to go Polo or Golf????
Darren

Very nice! :smiley:

That can only go wrong Darren :grin:
Does she believe that herself?? :confused:
I'll say within 6 month of ownership you'd have taken it apart at least one time :signLOL:
-
Well it's begun :laugh:
Had the car in bits this afternoon, end result is a shiny set of gloss black R multi function buttons :smiley:
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fkk207%2FStevep_010%2F32a7c605.jpg&hash=095dc63a9773218d8fe7fc8e1c39974903243504)
Tomorrow some more mods are planned involving a trip to Daventry :innocent:
-
Very nice!
-
looking good, should have come with the buttons from the factory as standard
-

True, but a £55 set of buttons from eBay.de is far better than the £255 VW charge for it as a factory order :surprised:
As the car already has DSG paddle as standard it's a very easy thing to do :smiley:

I know its a better buy for you to do it. I mean VW should have put the buttons as standard on the car, not offer them at £255.
After all the skoda has them and it is nearly £3k cheaper
your R piano black buttons look good and suit the car nicely
-
Looks great Steve. I get 10% discount on the options for my car through work, so the wheel has worked out to £180. However, i am tempted to change my order and get some controls separately instead. But on the grand scheme of things, it might not change much. And i still need to get someone to code it properly afterwards, not having VCDS myself.
-
No coding required :happy2:
-
Ooh, thats good.
-
Daventry... hmm... now let me think! :wink:
-
So how is it then Steve? :drool:
Did you change the plugs while you were there as well? If so, which ones?
-
It's awesome with the remap, makes a big difference to the little car :driver:
Low down it seams more urgent and it now pulls much better up top too where it felt lacking before.
They also found my car was running an earlier version of the factory code so that go updated too.
I need to order the plugs, the ones Revo recommend for the 1.4TSI are NGK BKR7EIX's
-
Cheers Steve. Do you know what VW fit as standard in these?
-
Not sure, I am just going to order the NGK ones rather that searching out the nearest VW ones as it will be cheaper that way.
-
Was meant to pop in this afternoon as was in Daventry for wheel balancing...but didn't have time in the end!
-
Have you got full function on the wheel (all buttons work?)
-
Have you got full function on the wheel (all buttons work?)
Yep, with the exception of the voice/phone buttons (as I haven't got bluetooth or RNS with VC yet) all buttons work
-
She's coming along nicely Mr P, I think I may have to visit Daventry myself soon as my map doesn't feel quite right!

Time for some updates :party:
First up the prototype/development ITG filter was installed on Friday

Has made a noticeable difference and a surprising amount of induction noise for a closed filter :smiley:
Then off to KPM for a brew and some H&R Springs, went for the version with the extra drop (better pics to follow)

More parts are also on the way to sharpen up the handling some more :driver: :driver:
-
The 1.4TSI is fantastic engine I think. These are in dier need of an intercooler upgrade. 3 runs on the dyno and my peak power was 9hp down from the first run. I might speak to andy @ITG and get one of those right angled hoses. I reckon my forge intake could be rotated like yours.
What's the plans with this one steve. Guess you don't need to hunt big power or crazy handling with the golf parked there
-
Looks really well for the drop matey! :happy2:
Garage doors look awesome too! :wink:

Despite the reports of issues with the 1.4TSI I genuinely believe with a good map it's a great little engine, it's doing 42mpg+ on the way to work (when I am sensible).
Remaining plans are stage 2, Turbo Back Exhaust, Front brakes, Rear ARB, a few poly bushes, RNS-510 and a rear camera kit :smiley:

I absolutely agree wholeheartedly about how good the 1.4 TSI engine is. :smiley:
-
Thanks John, I think you will be pleased with the ITG :happy2:
-
I think you've nailed it visually, looks great, such a more interesting, striking shape than the MK6 Golf.

There's a good 6+ guys on SCN who sold up their cupras after having nothing but issues, with a few others reverting back to stage 1 due to misfire and running issues on stage 2. We might be lucky though, the cupra has been out a fair while so hopefully vag have ironed out the/ issues of the early cupras
-
^^^ Yep I hope so, the plug change Revo recommend makes a lot of sense so fingers crossed all will be good :happy2:
-
Alot of the scn guys reckon the misfiring got worse after about 5k, and chose to swap plugs at that point which iirc cured it temorzily so i might try the same as I've just gone over 5k. No misfire issues yet though. I do have the cold start issue though, but i just need to book in with skoda for the new update.
-
Mine had 5k when I got it and now has 8k, no issues with misfires or oil consumption so far :smiley:
-
Too early to tell on mine, but I'm hearing rumblings on the forum grapevine that VAG altered the design of the engine/parts after Feb 2011 to cure these issues?
-
Mine had 5k when I got it and now has 8k, no issues with misfires or oil consumption so far :smiley:
Well I jinxed myself saying I wasnt having misfires, had one this morning. :fighting:

Motor way. Cruise control at 70mph stuck foot down to overtake/change lane without blocking guys behind and it started flashing. In fairness i wouldn't have even realized had it not flashed

Took mine out today just for a look and was pretty shocked. The ground electrode was marked white on cylinder 1, 2 and 4, but cylinder 3 was completely white. They obviously get very very hot.
Steve do you know the correct or recommended spark plug gap?

Thanks John, I think you will be pleased with the ITG :happy2:
Any more news on the ITG ? :jumping:
They Should have the production parts finished in 3 weeks.
I am very impressed with the increase in throttle response and the increase in the top end urgency the car now has. The feeling of the slight lack of pull between 5-6k has totally gone :happy2:

im not convinced about the performance of the Forge filter. The filter itself is actually pretty small, and just looks like a a cheap knocked off version of the CDA intakes but with a forge plaque bolted to it.

The filter element on the ITG is rated to 300+ bhp so more than enough for the Polo :happy2:
On the plugs I left the gap as they came out of the box.

I think im going to try a before and after on sharks rollers and find out the actual difference. for example previous dyno run (Dynodynamics) was 210hp/260lbft with stock intake. On JKMs it made 213hp/234lbft. id rather lose the 3hp but gain 30lbft torque

Any updates then Steve? :popcornsoda:
