Well time for me to jump in at the deep end, been reading this forum for quite a while now.

I'm a driving instructor on my first Polo, loving every minute of owning it, brings a smile to my face everytime I get the chance to drive it.

Bought the car brand new about 18 months ago now, it's an SE 1.4 TDI.

Enough talk, time for a couple of piccys.

In the VW workshop having the graphics put on before I collected it.

These are after a recent clean

Looks cool... I just love those 1.4TDI.. they are too fast for 1.4...and so much fuel economy... must be very practical for your line of work?

I had another come in yesterday for remap - just so much fun

)

You had an "economy tune" yet ? To make MPG even better ?

The invoice for this can go through the books...

Guess what economy tune also makes the car faster... lol

Many of my male customers tell their Wives that I am there to improve economy... theyre not lying but not telling the whole truth either...

Cant beat big stickers on yer POLO though.. hehehe

Thanks more-bhp, I'm loving how fast the Polo is, had comments from other instructors telling me it's "too fast for teaching"

My opinion is, the faster, the safer.

Been thinking about an "economy tune" for a while, but it's the warranty that bothers me in my line of business.

As for the stickers, they get a little addictive, a bit like tattooing

Welcome aboard. I have driven them a few time, must admit they're pretty nippy and not half as bad as expected on the motorway

If you are friends with your dealer then just ask if its OK to do...

I get referals from main dealers... I have a new Audi A8 3.0TDI coming in next week for a real "economy" tune... It was his Audi dealer that gave him my number !!

I do brand new 90k Fiat Motorhomes - before they even hit the road.

Your warranty is fully intact as a driving school car ?????

Thanks for the welcomes

Yeah, warranty is fully intact, car manufacturers love us using there vehicles, will bend over backwards sometimes. They look at it as the pupil getting a massive test drive, brand loyalty and stuff

Was thinking of asking at the dealership, but didn't wanna drop myself in it.

It's PASS (as in driving test) L (learner) slightly misspelt, the number plate actually came before the name.
