UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Agree with Martin, I regularly get mid to high 50's on my weekly 40 mile round trip to visit my dear old mum. A mix of town, A road and motorway, its all about the driving style, smoothness and anticipation seems to be the key.

2014, Its on a 64 plate.

I have a 3 door Blue GT and my seats slide forward when the backrest handle is lifted, admittedly they were very stiff and had to kind of wrestle them forward with a bit of force at the base of the seat.

Welcome, car looks really good.

Yeh they jacking points look like the way to do it, found some here http://www.awesomegti.com/genuine-tt-ja ... leon1-oct1, going to get myself a set.

Heard of a few folk who have asked VW not to touch the car when it arrives off the transporter at the dealership, and got a detailer that they trust to prep the car prior to them collecting it.

Found a video (I know its a 9n Polo, but principle is the same) to show you what is involved.

No the newer style bearing consoles still need to be pulled out and pressed into the hub.

It does recommend in the owners manual to run the engine in for the first 1000km or so at no more than 2/3rds of top engine speed and from 1000-1500km to gradually increase driving performance to top speed and highest engine speed.

Makes sense, cheers for that guys.

My Blue GT is the same, and like yourself not a clue why.

Very nice, enjoy.

My Blue GT came with Dunlop Sport Maxx 215/40 R17

Is that new mats you got there Jim, have the perfect thing just to finish that cabin off lol.

The gear knob is an S Line knob and can be found in different Audi models that have the S Line trim.

Hi and welcome to the forum, looking forward to the pictures of your car, sounds sweet.
