UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Might give that 1+2 a try tomorrow. On 2+2 but seems to have lost some of the lower down power. Excellent pull mid-high though. I just found 1+1 pinned me more to my seat from the off, but then seemed to drop off a bit after 50-60ish. Either way still alot better than standard

Just did a 10 mile round trip on P2 -1 and it felt more 'natural', less messed with than P2 0.

I have just set it to P1 +2 for comparison next time.

P1 +2 is definitely 'softer' than the P2 -1 I was running before, but it feels more natural, too. I will keep it on this setting for a while and see how I get on.

Thought you might prefer it! Also oddly my stop start after months of not working is now fully working every time. I grounded the box to a battery hold down instead of the terminal as the terminal has the start stop probe on.

Tried 1+2 but didnt seem that good for me. Back on 1+1. Read up on one golf forum and they seem to get best from 1+1 by looks of it

Hehe, yes sorry, I can imagine it's a bit confusing if you don't own one of these tuning boxes. There are basically 3 programs, each of which you can tweak up to +3 or -3, so 21 settings in total. I find it a bit of a faff changing them, TBH, so am trying to find out what the consensus is in advance.

Haha you had no idea. The old FSR box I had originally had to be taken apart with a screwdriver and jumpers moved to change program. This is simple!

hi
can you please explain how you removed the gt badges on the polo bluegt.
new member and first post.thanks turbocatt

My solution to the Polo's not-very-useful cupholders.

On the left, a Renault 'bin' for my unwrapped chewing gum. As the Polo's cupholders are so deep, I put two 13mm discs of Dynaliner foam in the bottom to lift the bin out a little, so that the lid can open properly.

On the right, a Skoda phone holder, part n°5JA 857 953 9B9, cost €18 (many thanks to Doc_House for the heads-up on this). Again with a strip of 13mm Dynaliner added in the bottom to both lift the phone a little and make for softer dunking. I also put some Blutac around the underside lip of the holder to stop it moving around inside the cupholder.

Not very usefull??? I juse mine almost daily with no problems what so ever... Fits 33cl soda cans, McD cardboard cups, cardbord coffee cups, 50 cl soda bottles and so forth...

I would never in a million years be without mine.

Hardly ever drink while I drive. If I do, I just remove the bin and put it in the door pocket.

hi
new to the forum.advice please.how do you remove the gt badges on blue gt.
also has anyone fitted side rubbing strips to the polo blue gt

Same technique as on most cars: warm the area with a hairdryer until almost too hot to touch, then pry the badges away from the paintwork with your fingernails, or a plastic trim removal tool. You may then have to remove any residual gunge from the paintwork with a suitable mild solvent.

Don't know about the rubbing strips - wouldn't look very nice, IMO.
