Re: Servicing Plan

I've got the £149 2 year servicing plan as well. With regards to extras, I went for the Alloy insurance for £100-150 can't exactly remember which came in useful before Christmas after I had to swerve a lorry heading towards me on my side of the road. Didn't go for the tyre plan for a similar reason ...

Re: What's your car history?

How are you finding the DTUK box? Mine arrived today. Now to wait for the car! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Think it's made a big improvement, better than I expected to be honest. Got it on the first setting +1 at the moment which certainly gives it a nice kick at 3k. Good to hear. I've only ...

Re: App Connect

Apple now offer CarPlay wirelessly, the Polo's still require a wired connection...does anyone know of a software update potentially in the works to allow it to function wirelessly?

Re: New GTI

Hi guys, I just got a dtuk box for my polo yesterday. It claimes 240 ps and 400nm of tourqe. I can honestly bleave it too. I'm currently on setting one +2. Has anyone got one, and what setting do you recommend? I haven't played around with the settings too much due to the weather, have kept it on s...

Re: New GTI

Don't quite get all this hate for the Car-Net app. I was advised, for the 'paltry sum of £100', to go for it. It's obviously software based so as new features become available they'll be uploaded as firmware updates. I'd certainly rather have it on the car than not. Agreed, I think it's awesome. Th...

http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc433/summit-awesome/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsof7tj00n.jpg Well this happened today. Might not be to everyone's taste, but the world would be a boring place if we were all the same. I personally love it, completely changes the look of the front of the car. (sorr...

Re: VW Polo GTi (6C) OEM Tyres

Re: New GTI

Genuine question for everyone looking for even more power from the engine - how're you going to get the power translated into forward motion? I'm already capable of spinning the stock tyres in almost anything any conditions other than bone dry! I assume you are going for wider, stickier rubber but ...

I don't know sorry mate - never had a car mapped. I went with the box due to the warranty situation.

Re: New GTI

Yes, I kept mine relatively steady for the first 1000-1500 miles. Obviously you can't be steady all the time and have to give it a blast but I tried to. I'm on 2400 now and have fitted a DTUK box this week - it flies. Is the DTUK box any good mate?? Very early stages, I've only done 100 miles or so...
