Open your bonnet then remove the plastic cap ontop of the shock mounting nut, place one finger on the nut then push the front end of the car down, if there is any play you will feel it, if there is play it means the nut is loose and the mounting is damaged due to the shock striking it while you are ...

Hi

I had the same question asked by a alignment technician "is it a golf?" lol.

Ensure your fuel tank is full and tires pressure ok before having the alignment checked and set.

He set the alignment to the pre-facelift Polo 2002 Sport suspension specs, but the car wasn't stable at high speeds. So ...

Hi,

I just want to know if there any gloss B-pillars available for 4/5-door Polos available?

I paid R197 150-00 (South African Rands) for my 2007 Polo GTI four door : black magic paint, 6 disc cd changer, sun roof, cloth seats, without cruise control and only four air bags (passenger side cannot be disabled with key)

Here in South Africa the Polo GTI's don't come with the spacial features ...

I mean are there any restictions inside the airbox

Hi,

The best consumption I achieved on my Polo Classic 1.6 8v was 718 kilometers on 93 Octane. I had the fuel tank overfilled to about 55 litres. On the long road I kept a constant speed of not more than 110 km/h.

Hi,

I want to know if the Polo GTI's boost is set manualy or controlled by the ECU when upgrading the software for performance?

Hi,

Here in South Africa we only have 93 & 95 Octane fuels available at the pumps. I used the 93 for a while because it is cheaper, but the fuel gauge needle drop vey quickly when I drove hard so I now I'm using only 95 which noticeably makes the car lighter no fuel.

Hi,

I want to know if the claimed time for the Polo GTI's 0-100 km/h in the manufacturers booklet is done with the ESP ON or OFF?

When I overtake other cars on the road with the ESP on, I can feel that the power is held back when I shift gears. Without the ESP it is a rocket!

Hi,

I want to know if there are any trumpets inside the Polo GTI'S airbox that can be removed to gain extra performance

What other mods can I do to improve the engines breathing?

Thanks,

I will use this info to find out more about the engine management and the effects/consequences of making the oem dump valve dumping pressure into the atmosphere.

Hi,

When I look at the back of the engine from the top next to the engine cover I can see a black plastic device. It looks similarly like a dump valve, but directly connects back to the air intake between the air flow meter and the turbo.

Doesn't this reduce performance!?
