Thought I'd join in on this, my list of cars that I have owned in the many years I've been driving are:
1st VW Transporter T25 which was in 2000
2nd VW Passat GLTDI
3rd VW Polo G40 which was running about 170bhp, think this was the most fun car
4th VW Golf VR6 with a vortech V2, which was running ...

Re: Polo GTI feels flat
Cheers guys.
Joe, did it make much of a difference fitting the 280mm discs? Which part of the caliper catches on the spokes and is it a huge amount.
I have been looking at the calipers that you bought, and asking one of my mates to make the carrier, as long as did the measurements. But as 6N2 GTI ...

Re: Polo GTI feels flat
I think I managed to find out why it had a flat spot. The previous owner had put an oil breather filter on it, I'm assuming he used to have some sort of aftermarket induction kit on it, and didn't reattach it to the air box.

But since clearing it, it has never come up again. I'm assuming this was something to do with ...

Polo GTI feels flat
Hi,
I'm fairly new to this forum. I have only had my polo since last month. I really enjoy driving it, but it feels really flat between 3 and 4k revs.
The guy that I bought it from had just had the cambelt changed just before I bought it, so I'm wondering if the timing could be out.
