Hi All,
Just signed up after collecting my car at the weekend! Been following this thread for a while and found lots of useful information!!
Overall really pleased with the GTi. I'll be using it as my daily for work and doing about 600miles every week so it was important to have something quiet & comfortable while still being a bit sporty.
Having come from a remapped Fabia 1.4 TSI, the Polo feels quite down on power but Autotorque are sorting that out for me at the weekend
Although VW said that the DSG7 has reduced torque to protect the box, APR seem confident that this will be just fine with their S1 at 288 lb/ft and S2 at 316 lb/ft
I'm going for a conservative remap for now and then probably go for the S2 APR with downpipe in a couple of months.
I only have 2 niggles with the car at the moment.....
1) The 2 buttons by the rev counter (trip reset and menu) seem to be stuck down and will not work at all.... I'll raise this at the first service.
2) I have the Alcantara seats and no matter how hard I press/shove, I cant get the front headrests to go fully down. There's about 3 or 4 inches of the metal prongs visible. It's annoying me as I like them to be snug against the seat. Are they meant to be like this or do I need to shove a bit harder??
Thanks
Gav
