power loss
I recentlt brought a 6N2 1.0 mpi polo to replace the 6N 1.0 polo i had before, i've noticed that when going u even the slightest of inclines, the power drops dramaticly and i have to dro it 2 gears just to stop it slowing down, can anyone give me any clues as to what it might be...

Re: power loss
1.0 have little power climbing hills, but it shouldnt drop that much to have to change down two gears.
Id look into a new air filter insert and cleaning your throttle body with some decent carb cleaner
TBF if it hasnt had a full service recently, id get one done.
