Oh and the abs pump

Basically anything that's different on the GTI you should fit it to yours.

The GTI has electronic differential lock which is controlled by the ABS pump/controller therefore you should fit it also.

Mine went for its MOT recently and passed with no advisories :) Even the mechanic who done the pre MOT checks said it's almost unheard of for a 13 year old car especially as it passed last years with no advisories as well so you can tell it's been looked after :)

My Polo is a 1.4 16v with 100bhp... there quick aren't they and you will have fun with the 1.6. I'm already saving for my next car; possibly a 2.0 Clio 182 :)
