Ah, if you'll pardon the pun, that's cool to hear! :) (I added the bold text above, which is how I assume you meant it :).

Even at just around 30-35c the Polo seems to take its sweet time cooling...

Hey,
3 year lease is coming up on my 2006 Polo GTI and I'm thinking of possibly upgrading to the MK5 GTI.

One thing that'd really help sell it (i.e. the ~$300 extra payment per month over just...

Thread stickied! (Will edit this post to reflect my Eagle F1 tyres later.)

Great work Neil!

I think we all agree that keying is very, very low, and we all feel for the victims - however please keep the discussion within forum guidelines. I.e. any avenues discussed should certainly be above...

Been away from the forums for a few weeks, it's just been flat out. Sorry.

However, I'm going to Winton tomorrow to have some fun with the car. Can anyone recommend what a good PSI loading is for...

I agree completely.

Then every few months I come across someone who is "old school", e.g. someone like yourself, and my faith in humankind is somewhat restored.

Sounds electrical/computer system-ish.
Sounds like an extremely good reason to get this serviced asap.
You don't want your stability control suddenly failing on you in a critical moment.

Haha, they'd slaughter the ADR ones anyway. We're just way behind in this country.... ;)

Those ECM chips tend to get _better_ fuel efficiency for the same style of driving actually. ;) This would have to improve emissions if anything.

Mitch, my response was more in reply to Spec and I probably should have made that clearer - I understood that your jest was just that. ;)

To elaborate: Whilst we got very clear guidelines about...

Clearly illegal car mods are in the same boat as boasting about street racing as far as I'm concerned.

Plus I care about the environment. So sue me.

Yeah. My Euro's leather seats never suffer the same problem. Then again they're ivory white (very nice). Also have Ming windows tint which might be blocking a lot more than the tint I have on the...

Drove home last Thursday and the car had been heating in 41c all day with no cover. Temp as reported by car was 45 then 44c, so this was probably more like the "real" street level temperature, sun...

Well I'm using the indicator a lot less in the Polo than in my Euro. The 3x feature is the main reason. Will get it disabled at next convenient time.

Ditto. However I have the Ming tint on the Euro, and a standard tint on the Polo - the Euro's climate control is a lot better.

My brother had Climate Control as an option on his Polo in Norway -...

Ah good to know this can be disabled. I find it quite annoying as that 1 courtesy blink which I intend to give is very different from the 3 that I get which can mean {to other drivers} that yeah I'm...

That's a great X-mas present for you! Looks very nice, congrats! :)

No need to say welcome with your post count :D

Ditto re APR ECU being fine as first thing to do without any further mods. ECU + air intake was even nicer.

Having said that, tyres was a great upgrade after this (F1 GSD3) - much more traction...

I caught up with GT3 recently to inspect his fully APR'ed Polo and say hi. OM*G what a monster drive, it's just completely unreal what he's been able to do with both the power and handling of his...

Did you end up getting the braided lines? I'm considering paying racebrakes a visit for DB2500s, some fluid and braided lines.

I am wondering if this will take care of the sponginess I'm...

Since I've already got the intake, the filter sounds tempting. How much work is involved in installing the K&N filter? Is it buried deep below lots of other parts that are hard to get out?

Why would they recall the Conts? Sounds weird..!

I got some nice Eagle F1s on mine, work exceptionally well. I also just did the wheel alignment, FL camber was off by a bit and the car handles...

Does anyone have a Melbourne recommendation for someone to do the install for me and run me through settings? And possibly also order, pending outcome of separate group buy thread?

I'm much more...

I condition my leather every 4-5 months or so (note to self: do more often, is quite nice then!). No issues yet, but then again the car is only 2 years old.

The ivory leather in my Accord Euro is...
