Re: Bluemotion EGR valve replacement - MPG

are you sure about the mpg difference?
The polo I bought had already had a egr replaced so I cant really help, but would be interested to know
I cant believe the mpg will go up when its run in. never heard of running in a egr to be honest.

Re: Engine Oil

might also be worth popping into your local vw and grabbing a new sump plug. When I worked at vw we always got a sump plug with the service kits
ps don't over tighten the sump plug on the alloy sumps it can damage the threads on the sump, think the correct torque is around 20ish nm so superman ...

Re: Engine Oil

hey use 5w30 longlife oil m8 fully synthetic

Re: Silver '11 Polo 1.2 TDI

Hi.
My wife is complaining that the Polo is way too bouncy on corners.
What do you recommend? I could probably install the sport coils (get the car a little down and a tiny harder). What do you think?

Cheers,
A2day

im looking at this kit for my bluemotion its a Bilstein kit with Eibach springs ...

Re: new member MarleY 6r bluemotion

Next question im thinking about getting a set of compomotive m05's 16" x 7j or 7.5j 35et will these fit ok. I used to have a set similar on my old mazda 323 gtr but they where speedline mags. do you think they will be too heavey on the bluemotion.
