UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Can't say I've noticed this, however my screen is coated with GTechniq C5 from the day after I bought it so perhaps that has changed things for me:

I only found out this was going to happen because I asked a company for a price on a nice stainless steel tax disc holder (used before for my previous car) to be told there was probably no point as from October I don't need to display one!

2.0TDi I reckon would go through tyres like mad, another reason why a nice light petrol engine was my choice, though if they did a decent power 1.6 diesel I'd have been curious with the right car spec. The BlueGT was a good mix of exterior styling, alloys and nice interior on top of the well balance...

No more tax discs from October 1st 2014!

The price of the DSG put me off, that and if I do keep it longer term after the 3yrs, I wasn't convinced on repair and maintenance costs of any issues, but it may well be a long lasting box?

The current Polo is just under 3cm shorter than the MkII Golf GTi...I suspect they'd not 'laugh' if you owned one of those It's no longer a small car in my opinion, I'm 6' 1" and it's not cramped at all.

No doubt a diesel would have been better for me, but at £20 a year car tax and the economy meaning my fuel bill is identical to my old LPG Astra, that ticked my boxes :) The power is addictive, ,very addictive, and the other factor in my decision to go for the BlueGT was for this reason alone. Getti...

What I did notice last night is how white the headlight bulb colour is, I'm going to check them all tonight, however the DRL bulbs are distinctly orange in comparison! I had thought of changing all bulbs but looks like I may not need to.

Yeah the suspension is fine for daily use, in honesty I'd prefer it a bit stiffer, there's an oodle of twitchiness out of corners which I cured on my old car with some decent shocks...

Overall it's a good balance for most drivers I would say.

Running in on anything but mineral oil is a waste of time anyhow, fully synth is just too slippy to allow anything of consequence.

I can't find a thing in the manual about running in so I've not done any, it gets up to temperature VERY quickly :) 55mpg is for me the end of a 26 mile drive mainly, however across town yesterday I managed 60mpg for a 3.5 mile journey which I was amazed at, it is easy enough to make good use of the...

So far it'll average 55mpg on my usual work run, but it drops towards 50 if my right foot is overly heavy on a particular journey. Not sure on the total fuel tank range yet, so far it's suggesting ~440 miles but I've only covered 200 miles so far so once I've emptied the tank a few times I'll get a ...

The headlights are correct. The BlueGT is also the only Polo 6C available with the bi-xenon headlights after the introduction of the full LED headlights. Thanks Martin, I'm still waiting for the dealer to confirm, but I do agree that these are the correct headlights :) Front bumper also is correct.

Mines getting built this week, should be here mid-Aug :D . Though I've opted to pick it up in Sept. Couple of questions for nry:- Whats the road noise like? Hows the audio sound? Road noise...quiet, though I've come from a lowered and modified car with a straight through catback exhaust, so most ca...

I have pestered them on Facebook to see what they say
