Re: Polo GTI+ Overrun?

Hey, Congrats on the Polo GTI! If you're missing the pops and burbles you loved in the Cupra, your Polo actually has that feature, but it's just more subtle. By factory default, it includes a mild overrun burble, created by slightly retarding the ignition timing during overrun. You’ll notice it more...

Re: Stage 1 Remap

Modifying your vehicle’s ECU with a remap will leave a digital footprint, detectable by dealerships through an altered flash count, which tracks software updates. Even if you revert to the stock map, this count can reveal unauthorized modifications. A discrepancy might trigger a TD1 flag, indicating...

Re: Soundaktor - Module unit from S3/R/Golf

Well, it finally happed! The soundaktor firmware is unlocked and you can now flash new firmware on your soundaktor from other VAG products. If anyone with OTIS or VCD is willing to try I would love to hear the results. :D https://github.com/jilleb/mqb-soundaktor https://github.com/jilleb/mqb-soundak...

Re: OBDeleven / Carista users on the forum?

Hi, I have used carista with an elm327 wifi adaptor to change throttle respons behavior to direct and show a/c blow speed on auto. Works perfect. Soundaktor changes stop working after changing to another driving profile unfortunately, but says 0% in the app. But would buy obdeleven if I had to buy a...

Re: Alloy wheels corroded to hub

To anybody that got this issue in the future.

Another trick is to place all bolts back in, loosen them from tight by one rotation then rock the car.

Like demonstrated in this video.

Re: Has anyone put the Up GTI SoundAktor on a Polo?

Hi, Actually researched this, and the module beside the soundaktor should be the containing the soundprofile. https://uk-polos.net/viewtopic.php?t=76940 Now they’re pretty expensive, and I could not find a dealer that would give me a return policy/deal if it didn’t work. But I don’t think the 3 cyli...

Re: Polo GTI+ owner - downsize to UP GTI vs upsize to Golf GTI

I actually upgraded from a Up GTI to the Polo GTI. The Up is a way more fun car to drive on public roads. You get so much fun at low speeds that you have to try it to believe it, if you ever driven a mx5 you probably know what I'm talking about. I could still get sweaty hands and the biggest smile o...

Re: 2018 gti launch control

Best "feeling" LC mode is: - Sport mode - Keep holding down the ASR down till it says "Sport". If you leave it to "off", you will get so much wheelspin on the standard "eco" tyres. Place one foot on the brake, floor the throttle and "Launch Control Progra...

Re: Soundaktor - Module unit from S3/R/Golf

Yeah, I don't think the soundaktor has a sound signature, it's just the "speaker". But the module beside it, I believe that it could contain the "profile". I'm going to borrow some pictures from monkeyhanger from this post: https://uk-polos.net/viewtopic.php?t=74939 https://i.ibb...

Soundaktor - Module unit from S3/R/Golf

Hi there, So have any of you tried to change the soundaktor or/and the soundaktor module? I have tried turning it off and to 50% with carista but I wondered if you could change the sound completely. After seeing this volkswizard video with the Golf R and the S3 with the same EA888b engine, I really ...
