Re: Polo 6R/6C Photo Gallery

Nothing too special. 1.2TSI SE 6C. 1.2tsi >2014 Forge Induction Kit Stage 1 Remap (130/215) 35% Rear Windows, debating going darker on this but it's a lot of money for something cosmetic. Basic coding bits too, needle sweep etc etc. Going to head out with an OBDEleven when I get a minute and have an...

Re: Loud Gearbox - Gearbox oil change?

Seems like you can't win with these, notoriously s**t DSG boxes and seemingly less s**t but still s**t manual boxes. Thanks for the reply, that's very logical. I'll see what I can get sorted on pay day. Have you got an idea if you're going to replace the gearbox or have it rebuilt and looked into a...

Re: Loud Gearbox - Gearbox oil change?

I've never considered that the family of manual gearboxes fitted to especially the 6C version of Polo 1.2TSI were "the real thing", I'd think that the majority, during their service life, will end up being rebuilt as in repaired or rebuilt as in a bid to rectify many of their original bui...

Loud Gearbox - Gearbox oil change?

Hi, Excuse the word-vomit title - but I think that's the best way to shorten down. Recently I've noticed a very loud metallic noise coming from my gearbox. When I'm changing gears (even "wobbling" in neutral) there's a dull metal on metal noise, I've never noticed this because I usually ha...

Re: Healights

I'm pretty happy with: Philips WhiteVision Xenon effect -- I see you've detailed about them in your thread, however.

Re: Just remapped my Polo

I've been dabbling with the idea of getting this done to mine for the last couple of weeks, 1.2TSI 6c 2015 (Manual)- and have been promised similar results, with the estimate being 125-135BHP and 180-195FtLbs; a massive increase in either scenario. I also have the 90HP variant- I see it's some month...
