Re: Updated Performance Gearbox and Clutch Rumours 6c GTI?

So, Update. Limp mode was caused by an aftermarket part which the Volkswagen dealer fitted for me. It was a little box that was plugged in to the throttle pedal which was causing interference between the two magnets on the pedal (this is what I was told by the company that fixed the problem for me ...

Re: Updated Performance Gearbox and Clutch Rumours 6c GTI?

Yes it is the dsg gearbox, I think maybe I have that problem at the moment, very clunky going in to 2nd and 3rd gear and if I push it hard I get emissions light and limp mode lol. Tbh I’m looking at anything as I’m planning on keeping the car for a while With a few mods planned

Updated Performance Gearbox and Clutch Rumours 6c GTI?

Hey guys,

So I’ve heard through the grapevine that there may be a company in Germany that have made an updated performance gearbox and clutch to handle a bit more power that normal. I can’t remember where I’ve heard this from but have heard it from a couple of people now. Does anyone know of this ...

Re: Polo GTI 6C APR Re-Map UK

So I've had the car done by Revo now.

Amazing how much of a difference there is.

I was surprised to find that there is no gear box map with a Revo tune but you only really notice the gear box when its in standard mode as it just constantly wants to pull.

I ended up running 236bhp on the dyno so ...

Re: Coilovers v springs

I've fitted the low version H&R lowering springs to my GTI. Did the job perfectly. Lowered to make it not look like a monster truck any more but not silly low, it looks good. I have the DDC or DCC or whatever its called fitted to mine which basically means I have the sport button. If you have the ...

Re: Interior bulbs

I found a whole LED light kit on Ebay, cost around £10 and came with every interior bulb including the boot light. No errors or faults have come up since and they have been in nearly a year and a half now. Would be best to buy the little orange interior tools for like £3, and just take your time ...

Re: Polo GTI 6C APR Re-Map UK

Cheers guys I’m gonna look into the revo one a bit more and see if apr do offer a dsg map. The apr is a bit more expensive than the revo which is swaying me slightly but have heard good and bad things from both, I guess I’ll have to try one and give the feedback when it’s done

Polo GTI 6C APR Re-Map UK

Hi guys, new to the forum.

Have had a miltek catback exhaust fitted since buying the car in April but I want to squeeze a bit more power out of it. Have seen a lot of people with stage 1 maps but I am a bit scared of trying any as I have seen people have had problems with the DsG gearbox blowing ...
