Polo After Market page (body kits, light kits, etc) P.S try not to post rice items.

[Hail22]

I thought maybe its time we have our own little goodies thread where new VW Polo owners or avid Volkswagen Enthusiasts post links to sites, companies (Numbers etc) or products that can enhance our individual polo;s


Please try to refrain from posting rice items (Coloured Tyre pressure caps, Aluminium tin wheels (Habib spec)

I personally am interested in the Bluemotion Grill : http://www.caradvice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/2010-VW-Polo-BlueMotion-625x467.jpg

And possibly if you ever do find, the ways of enhancing the headlight unit (Getting the Bi-Xenon headlight from Germany for the new polo GTI with headlight washer kit).


If you own a polo you are already an individual you don't follow a crowd and want to be different...but you most probably like me want to keep the Genuine look of a VW not a rice special.


get posting!

[Casper]

Not sure if it qualifies as rice or not, but I've just ordered a bunch of white LED bulbs from eBay to replace all the interior bulbs. Also ordered a couple of special ones to replace the number plate lights with... No idea what they're going to look like but cost less than $50 all up so not a big loss if they turn out to be crap :P

Also, when I get a chance I will be changing the stock headlight bulbs over to some nice bright white ones... Probably Philips DiamondVision or CrystalVision... Can pick these up at most auto parts stores...

"habib spec" .... i lol'd for a bit, haha.

bluemotion grille will be a sure fire way to set you VW Watercooled boys apart from all the other polos on the road in australia- i reckon it's a very nice OEM+ kinda mod.

and yeah.... OEM+ for the mother****in' win:

-looks classy
-attracts attention from only the RIGHT kinda people
-easy swap ins/ swap outs
-will not likely go outta production anytime soon (e.g. the bluemotion grille, or the roof spoiler)
-can fly WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY under the radar when it comes to cops and foolly hektiks alike...

[Hail22]

Buller from your very pursuasive talk...maybe you should set-up a paypal account and possibly find the Hard Core Watercooled boys a sure fine way of getting said grille and Roof Spoiler.

As i really would love to remove the TSI badge and replace it with a Bluey badge.

I just noticed look at the front lip...it has an add on :O...i think i just had a heart attack haha.

This is one item I am searching for. The ABT rear spoiler. It differs to the VW factory one as it actually sits on the rear brake light on the hatch door. I think its the best bit of the ABT kit.

Don't know if we can buy this separately though, and would like to know the price for this one part!

[Hail22]

Go to Ramspeeds website, send an email to them with the order number on the ABT website stating "Interested in pricing for ABT, rear roof spoiler (Carbon-look) for 1.2 TSI, TDI or just 1.4 polo 6r0"

They will reply within about a week as many people are trying to get info from them about products.

[BR @ ON]

I do know they source it, but they did not reply to my email...

I was wondering if anybody has done the same? or has got any other rear spoiler on their Polo?

i know, i know... if only i had the finances to start up a business like that, i think it would tick over, given the ever-growing VW scene here in Oz. as for the front lip- i cant be sure, but i know that votex does a lot of OEM body kits for VW, it might be one of theirs?

nice! they look really good, and lots of people that come to the vic cruises seem to have them- such a small part, and yet, for example (and in my experience) it will really set a red mk5 golf gti with one, apart from a red gti without one- in a "i really dont know what it is, but THAT one just looks better for some reason" kind of way.

hey mate,

lol- im sorry, i meant to say that because of the pic, it reminded me of the sharan antenna.

but please post any questions RE modding etc on here. i know that the jap/euro scenes are very different (and for me, driving a diesel, it's very different from even a VW petrol- e.g. even though i have a tune, a bigger dump pipe would be BAD), but, and not to say that i know it all (hahahaha- VERY far from it), if you've got a question regarding potential mods etc, dont hesitate to ask- i might be able to help.

oh.... not to get anyone's hopes down, but rather to get some thoughtful motion going- one thing that really ****s me with the polo 1.2 TSI is the 270 degrees of bends in the air intake-> throttle body.

SOMETHING has to be done about that!

it'll happen, though. no doubt.

that's pretty good, man.

if you think about it, we're a VERY small market (people who want to mod non-GTI polos in australia, when you could spend half and have a "brutal" 15 year old V8).

for them to have even one kit of each in, is testament to the game they play- i would have thought they'd be one of a million honestly-trying-to-make-a-go-of-it local modding companies who will gladly take your order, but will advise you of your import wait time...

hope it works out mate!

[matty]

Ok everyone, though decision. I got my eyelids yesterday, and there black plastic and they don't look to bad on. Should I get them sprayed black or red, red being the main car color.

[noone]

Red. Ive got the last polo, and will be doing the same when they arrive (any month now...)

[Billecartz]

Painted red would look good, but have you considered stick on Carbon Fibre? I know its not real but it could be effective?

Where did you get them from and how much?

[matty]

I have a mate that could do that, but iv never been keen on carbon. I think reds the go, and for 50 to paint it I don't see why I coulnt change it in the future. So red it is for the time being.

I got these off the eBay. It was like 130 to my door. Way to expensive for these to mingy bits of plastic. But what ya gonna do.

[Transporter]

I thought this would be nice page with body kits, lights etc. :(

[Hail22]

Well it is, i have checked both the Reiger and the ABT rear kit, decals, front badge, rear badge etc etc.

This is all dependent on what type of Enthusiast you are, if you like to stick out like a sore thumb i would go full Reiger Body kit but then you lose the sheen of what is already a very sexy car (starts to hear fast and the furious music)...

The rear of the Reiger kit on the polo (if at standard ride height) looks nice.

However "personally" looking at the ABT rear skirt and the 72/75mm Exhaust setup it keeps the genuine aesthetics of the Polo, but makes the rear a bit more special.

In conclusion it is up to the individual buyer but i wouldn't want to put fiberglass on my car (Reiger) if she cracks you may be up a creek without a paddle.

So now its whether or not i would like to spend the $$$ for a small upgrade and centering the exhausts (and changing them to twins) or wait for Mr. Chong in China to make a copy.

However the Polo would look so damn sexy with it (honestly with some lowering coils and a bit of patience) the car may look like a baby R...we shall see.

P.S i may mix it up and get the Reiger side skirts, Bluemotion Grille, and Bluemotion front aero pack (if its available). It may sound like its bastardising the car but i "personally" see the car coming out quite well with this mix...suggestions? :D

you shouldn't have to wait too long. They have already started producing new Gen Golf for the Chinese domestic market (VW is the first foreign car maker to venture into China back in the days, and it remains a strong presence in the biggest car market in the world...)

They are however still making the old Polo in their factories, which should be ceased by next year, for the new lines to be installed.

I am not saying they would ever be making POLOs for OZ, no way, because the Chinese market consumes all the cars it could possibly make (the Shanghai VW joint venture already got 4 full car factories there producing just short of a million cars each year), and they drive on the different side of the road!

But the VW has always been popular there and quick search online will get you so many lower priced OEM parts for the VW of Chinese domestic market. Expect a flurry of new Gen POLO parts once it get into production!!!

Standard deal though with all OEM wheels. The sport pack is great value IMO. Every time I see a Polo with the normal wheels, I think its a different car! Looks terrible IMO!

Yeah and even if you gutter your wheels, it is always repairable, the only reason why it can't be fixed is if the alloy has been cracked :)

$175 each for those wheels i linked before (17 inch version of the Golf GTI Detroit Monza shadow rims), they look hot imo but so far a lot of people think the Boavistas look sexy.

That is fine, but he should put a disclaimer as such or reply to buyers informing them of such.

I wouldn't have an issue if he said he had a few parcels to send to AU and did them in batches once a week or something. But no communication at all after a week of payment = bad feedback.

FWIW... I will buy the 2nd Sharan antenna from Dubaddiction (Tim). His service is first class, good backup guarantees etc.

I have one on the .:R32. When the Polo arrives...I'll transfer it to the Polo and see if there is any diminished performance on the RCD510. (We live in a sandstone predominant area...and it does provide for some loss of signal strength/quality). If all is good...I'll order a 2nd one from Tim. A+ seller

Yeah sounds pretty good the picnic, yes really interested to email orange tuning see if its cheaper etc...who knows we might find out we have in a few months more polo owners thus more interest/shipment of the H & R coils.

Yeah i don't want to over do her...i love a car that remains in the spirit of OEM...yet dares to be a little bit different to all polos i think we may have a following "Still waiting for more news on the Bluemotion gear :("

:( are they multi stud replicas? or are they genuine oem? i only ask because i love where you're going with your polo but the polo has a stud pattern of 5x100mm and the R is 5x112mm.

(dont want to get any hopes down, just dont want to see you backed into a corner with the purchase).

[Hail22]

will need to find out i believe they are OEM as they're coming off my cousins Golf R, if that;s the case i can get replicas at 5x100mm it will just take time to wait for them, early days. :)

not 100% happy with the eyelids. they dont sit perfect on the headlight, and the body panels dont match up either side. for $250 i dont think it was worth it. id wait till there cheaper and pre painted. though hopefully these photos work and give you an idea on how they look. plus theres the debadging photo and a pretty photo i took :)

Nice pics, not to add salt to the wounds but i am guessing your bottom photo is without the eyelids...it looks way better with that black eyelid looks like the car is pissed off with other motorists muhaha >:)

[Buller_Scott]

Matty your car looks really nice, and the de badging looks good. I think eyelids are a subjective thing- I have never particularly seen the aesthetic advantage of them on any car, but each to their own. That scenic shot of yours really highlights just how attractive a car the 6r is.

[Hail22]

hmmm thinking de-badge, put bluemotion front grille and rear badge, ABT Rear skirt and still waiting on the R Wheels you were right the offset was 110 on the originals need 100mm.

[dave_r]

Yeah I've never been a fan either but the debage is a good idea.

I might do it to make my life easier with washing the car, white isn't very forgiving when you do a "quick" wash and there is bugger all chance of the missus doing it! :rolleyes:

[Hail22]

Highly unlikely you will be washing the polo much mate when your R arrives, lots of TLC and avoiding IDA drivers (Incompitent drivers association) xD

Nah I gotta do both, would be vehicular crime to let her do it! I just won't spend as much time on the Polo :D

[MAD]

:( are they multi stud replicas? or are they genuine oem? i only ask because i love where you're going with your polo but the polo has a stud pattern of 5x100mm and the R is 5x112mm.

(dont want to get any hopes down, just dont want to see you backed into a corner with the purchase).

Gday fellas,
Ive also been waiting for the Talladega's to come out in 17"x7 or 18"x7.5, 5x100 PCD and correct offset for the Polo, please let us know if anyone sees an aftermaket of this description (does anyone know the correct offset of the 17" polo factory sport pack boavistas????(fyi have also seen boavistas on some honda's not sure of the size PCD or offset))

Love the debadged photo, have been waiting to see a debaged polo even before we got ours ( i love debadged cars, and i need to remove the TDI if I'm gunna have talladega's on it :P LOL), that shorty aerial is a good idea also, will have to get me one also,
does anyone know of if the bluemotion front spoiler lower addons are in an aftermarket yet?

Thanks for your time guys keep up the good info

Regards

MAD

[Hail22]

Seems like you just did a carbon copy of my car hahaha, Talladega's...bluemotion addons, aerial.

Dare to be Different? your car is a TDI (hides and smacks head with steel pan to the thought of R wheels on a Diesel) no offence by any means :)

*thinks at a set of lights when you idle...Mack truck engine sound with Talladega;s*

[matty]

how did the aerial fit in everyones car? it seems the threads to long on the one i got and dosnt sit flush with the base!!!!!!!! frustration

JE DESIGN - Individualprogramme und Tuning für VW - Audi - Seat (http://www.je-design.com/de/30_Shop/10_Volkswagen/56_Polo_6R/) hmmm the item i am looking for is heaps cheaper...the problem is how much it would cost to paint the bumper...then the cost to install the rear skirt with the centralised mufflers.

I had the same problem, I have cut my thread down till I can find the right one.

hey MAD, welcome to the forums!

man, seeing as you're in melbourne, you REALLY REALLY REALLY have to come to the next dub meet- here's my little pre-edit of what went down today:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrTxatTnsW8

such a strong VW vibe in melbourne, no matter what VW you drive. it was sick!!!!!!

now, as far as the 6R polo is concerned, the ''upgrade'' alloy wheels that you can get from VW are an offset of 45 if i recall correctly. depending on tyre size / width, that'd ''probably'' mean that you've got an offset of between +38 and +48 to play with. i'd confirm this with the dealer, though- or get someone to have a look at your wheel clearance over the brakes, and between the inside of the tyre and the suspension gear, before jumping into anything.

as for removing the TDI badge just because it has bigger / nicer wheels- NO NO NO NO NO!!!!

keep the tdi badge- it makes people look at you funny. once your car is remapped, it should have somewhere in the vicinity of 320nm at the fly, which is quite decent for a 1.6 in a car as light as the 6R polo. keep the punters guessing what the hell is going on when you've r*ped them in the twisties, i say.

im going the silly route- recenty, my "I" fell off, so im gonna debadge the rear, and get stickers such as "got soot?", "i 'heart' my tractor", and a silhouette of a turtle with "slow but safe" on it. meh- just a bit of fun, i guess.

as for the bluemotion spoiler, i dont know if many aftermarket companies will bother- even with the previous gen polo (mine, the 9n3), the only way you could get a bluemotion bit of kit was to hand your local dealer the part number. so from VW it must be (but i dont think it will be very hard- you will be able to source the part number on the south africa / europe / uk forums).

keep dubbin, man!

[Buller_Scott]

oh, hail22 - you think the truck / tractor sound is bad, hahahahahahahahahahahahaha........

oh, i REALLY REALLY REALLY have to show you video footage of my polo TDI inside the cabin, after having the polyurethane engine mount installed

keep dubbin, man!


it's subjective. my tdi with straight through back box + intake mods sounds decent TO ME- sure, not enough to **** you over medium distances like your run-of-the-mill mk1 WRX, but just enough to be noticed. and besides, im grateful that so many people do the "man, the car had plenty of torque, i got AWESOME fuel economy, it was really fun to drive in the hills, damn i would have one- but i dont like the sound it makes...."

to me, that's like having a poppy snowboard, that's super light yet super durable, spins well off the jumps, feels perfect underfoot etc etc...... but oh no, the graphic on the bottom just isnt quite one's cup of tea, lol. orly?

it might have enough go already for "what it is"- but what is that? to some, it's a city runabout and nothing more.

to me, it's a car that i can load 4 people into, load up the boot with snow stuff, stack 3 snowboards and a pair of skis onto the roof, and still have no problems overtaking single-occupant commodores up steep hills quite easily.

the diesel might get a bit more torque... with a tune, that's 300+nm..... enough to spank a VT commodore SS in the hills quite comfortably, whilst getting 750+km's (minimum) out of a tank.

dont get me wrong, i think the 1.2 TSI is a brilliant car and truth be told, it would be my car of choice from the current polo line up. but you cant deny the TDI's merits... i mean, there are plenty of people in the states, bolting on a turbo from the 2.0l tdi golf (NOT a big turbo), onto the 1.9tdi engine, and with injectors/ mapping, getting 480nm of torque (enough to spank quite a few cars, rolling start) and still returning 50+MPG....


Thanks for the reply dude,

yeah I want to freak em out when they hear its a diesel sitting next to them not when they read it LOL

Love your comment I highlighted by the way, my thoughts exactly,

Wont be chipping it in the near future (warranty and missuses car) + the new dry clutch small model DSG has a max torque rating of 250NM could probably handle more being german built but hey I'm older and slower now and the missus don't need anymore LOL, the golf 77kw 250nm mapping would be enough, just want more fuel economy really, thats why i got the diesel and because smooth fast driving involves torque more than power :D

Yeah with the wheels Just want to set it off to look sh*t hot and a few other small items to spruce it up a bit but dont want to go over board, If anyone is removing there sport pack springs to lower it more give me a hoy or Pm as I'll be interested in them as thayll be low enough for the other half but not so low she'll rip the front off it LOL ( didnt get the sport pack originally as I'd still be waiting for the car now and we couldn't wait that long)

Any how better goto i'm tired dude

Hey dude howzit going

Did you find the talladegas in 5x100 PCD? what size and offset are you getting dude?

should set it off big time, best wheels I've ever seen,

Yeah I can't find them in AUS yet either especially not in 100x5 PCD

Let us know how you go with them

[bigfoot]

who knows we might find out we have in a few months more polo owners thus more interest/shipment of the H & R coils.

count me in :) are we talking about the 35/55 ones??

the Sport pack is meant to have lowered suspension but the back is still jacked up :LOL:

[Hail22]

The back is where the issue is for me as well, currently not doing anything to the car as the Festive season is approaching and may be getting a new dog so yeah...going to hold off on any car work until the new year.

I like the wheels too!

[Hail22]

used a converter, but to be honest i don't trust the brand...Romania...not to generalise but a lot of world wide scams originate from there.

I would prefer to go with the JE Design Rear Bumper and the new polo Blue motion front air dams that cut the air flow on both front edges to create better downforce (Mind you, you would need to be doing 100+ before the downforce can be verified as working).

[Hail22]

i might soon have an interest in this...

Bluemotion polo grille definitely, Bluemotion bottom front splitters (on both sides under the fog lights they diffuse air to create a positive flow) JE Design Rear bumper with exhaust...see the bumper is cheap...but the exhaust is ridiculous >.<

Not doing any chipping for the first few years as i like my warranty as it is...rather than risking having it voided.

The warranty is only voided if it can be proved that the ECU tune affected that part directly.

-Bluemotion bottom front splitters

-Polo new GTI rear bumper ( At a reasonable price )(if not exact aftermarket copy of it) (the stock polo rear looks pretty average compared to say a stock standard ford fiesta rear)

-The New narrow DSG knob, so I can get my F%^&*G cup out of the cup holder after I put it in park (Big VW oversite I think, a hyundia I30 has much better dash and interior ergonomics than the polo, just saying)

-Climate control panel White light version (MY11 week2) (if it will work in place of the stock 3 knob control NON comfort pack???????)

-seat that can go lower( another oversite ) ( they use this seat in many vw models, but with the polo being so narrow and small they cant mount the seat rails so the seat can be mounted lower)(even on the lowest setting I will never need to use the sunvisor and if you raise it enough the head rest actually touches the roof, proving that it isn't mounted where it should be)

- sunglasses holder in place of the unused alarm plastic cover in over head console, IE: what the passat has, not sure if there's one to fit the polo

I'll post the rest when I think of them

Regards

MAD

PS: don't take my comparisons and picking the wrong way, I love our polo and believe it is a much higher quaility car, but vw do miss on external looks and internal ergonomics of other cars,(the new polo front is perfect but the back ???????)

me too
same for TDI offsets? and is PCD 5x100? note there are two very similar wheels 1 is talladega and another is an similar audi style, I prefer the actual talladega style as in what is on the golf R, but it and the copys Ive seen are wrong PCD though( 5x112 )!

[madsumberohat]

"habib spec" .... i lol'd for a bit, haha.

bluemotion grille will be a sure fire way to set you VW Watercooled boys apart from all the other polos on the road in australia- i reckon it's a very nice OEM+ kinda mod.

and yeah.... OEM+ for the mother****in' win:

-looks classy
-attracts attention from only the RIGHT kinda people
-easy swap ins/ swap outs
-will not likely go outta production anytime soon (e.g. the bluemotion grille, or the roof spoiler)
-can fly WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY under the radar when it comes to cops and foolly hektiks alike...



Indeed what person in right mind would want to nick a Diesel :P. "besides looks sweet. idf you really wanted could stick the gti back on but might defeat the whole point of STEALTH!! <~~~ test drive a gti in werribee VIC this weekend

Just joined will be posting for comments as im torn between jsut getting a heaped speced 77TSI DSG *no mocking* or coughing up the extra 5 grand and getting the gti.

[Hail22]

I have a 5 Door TSI, im 22 and i honestly thoroughly enjoy it the car is well within its practical means for day to day a bit of a kick on corners (with sports pack) then you have an extra 5k laying around incase you would like to get the car chipped, modded etc.

[madsumberohat]

Spot on HAIL22 still its a GTI


*WEEPS in the corner in the fetal position as brain hurt thinking of which to get*

just scoped this when looking for a pic of a hot blue looking polo.

check out the RZR Golf. i know its a golf kit but im sure revozport would make a polo if got enough interest. It would look better with POLO's angles and light layout IMHO.

also must say the sunroof looks sweet :D
i mean if you paid the $$ and got say a candy white with the roof and pillers painted black and the windows tinted would look one with the car IMO

IF ONLY V DUB would update the website so you could add that stuff and see the look grr :P and still no update on the gti combo on the website either COME ON!!

[madsumberohat]

GOOD LORD if you can fumble about the VW german website

<~~ doesn't know german

they have a configure thing that is AWESOME.

your can even rotate it to see from all angles

Anyone know where to find the Polo version of this?
Volkswagen Golf VI 2.0T > Exterior > Mirrors > ES&#35;1172960 Blind Spot Mirror - Left Side - 5K0857521 (http://www.ecstuning.com/Volkswagen-Golf_VI--2.0T/Exterior/Mirrors/ES1172960/ES1172960/)

Want to get one for both cars, but no idea on what the equiv part would be for the 6R Polo?

[madsumberohat]

give em a buzz might have it in the works never know.

Hey if get enough interest from here and say hae 15 guys wanting one *me included* they might even build them for us or something

[madsumberohat]

on other note

Anyone seen the sunroof in the flesh on any of the polos or polo GTIs incase they sent out demos with them installed so people can gauge what it looks like on the car when they start building them in Jan 2011?
Pictures i found aint that great sadly or give a true idea of the look.

Love the idea one of you guys did with candy white with black roof. thought look great if the sunroof went in with the black roof as the black tint of the sunroof appears to be much the sameas the black standard paint on website.

*used the UK website cool config system*

Thoughts?

[madsumberohat]

also posted this in another thread but think better placed here is

Can just BUY the Bi xenon head lamps for the POLO?

I really like them but im starting to lean away from the GTI for $$ reasons.
*SIGH*
Think dealer could order them in as parts and then just fit them to a 77 TSI for me if i ask really nicly. Dodgy i know

Any dealers on here looking ask your service centre and post on here im sure a few moders would like to know the answer. other wise its just me

[Hail22]

As much as you would love a fast reply...you could just edit your post and add furthermore in the singular post rather than triple posting.

The Bi Xenons you will need to discuss with Volkswagens Parts/Accessories department if you have yet to buy the car it is best to speak to the sales person in the show room.

[madsumberohat]

right thanks will ask the dealer about it

Sorry not really used forums before.
Thought best to break up the questions so people can reply/quote them easier.

noted for future posts Hail22

side note
I am starting to like your idea of not getting the gti and specing a TSI instead and pocketing the 5 grand as you meantioned before. Just really like the xenon light though lol:(

[Hail22]

Ask yourself the question, why does the DTM (German Touring Car) Le mans 24 Hour on Le Sarthe and other major touring car operators are not using Xenon lighting however using HID instead?

Xenon is a fashion statement not a safety statement, Xenon is a gas and like all gasses it burns, sometimes the light flickers, alternates in colour (slightly) and if you really look at the costs associated with the purchase of Xenon lighting, be prepared for a rectum rupture as the cost to replace/fix a globe will be hurtful to some who try to live within their own means.

[dave_r]

Xenon is a fashion statement not a safety statement
LOL do you have to hate on everything that you don't have? GTI is crap cos you can't speed, Xenons are crap because they don't use them in racing. wtf?

Anyway, the same topic comes up with the Golf's from time to time and the answer is the same. Retrofitting Xenons isn't an easy nor cheap job and then you still have to maybe worry about not being RWC. Do a search over in the mk6 forum as corey has covered it before.

[Kane-St-Kane]

Almost everthing to do with a car is a fashion statement.... If it wasn't we'd all be driving Lada's.

It seems to me that Hail22 likes to poo-poo anything that he doesn't have.... and decree that people who do have it 'live beyond their means'.

It's a sad, sad state of affairs.

I thought we were all supposed to talk about how much we loved our VW's.... Not how all the options we didn't tick when we ordered suck?

[Hail22]

Kane, i think your a bit of a forum troll when it comes to me matey, i actually know and live with cars owned a BMW 323 Coupe with M sports Kit, Xenons, leather, sunroof etc. (2008 model)

At night time when going over the slightest of bumps or speed hump, the lights tended to flicker most of the time and sitting at lights where there was no street lighting the lights started to have colour variation.

So watch it before you take a stab in the dark, as i actually have owned a car with such options and hence why i wouldn't go near it anymore.

I am entitled to give my opinion/view of something especially when i have owned said option(s). So do me a favour stick to the topic or get lost as i remember i started this thread for mods not for public debating.

So you downgraded from a 2008 BMW coupe to a Comfortline Polo? :rolleyes:

There is a difference in offering an opinion (which people usually respect and like) to dumping on everything one doesn't have. Your severe and noticable problem is (IMO) that if you don't have it, or have had it and don't have it now... It's not worth having.

I too have had a lot of vehicles.... But I don't need to tell everyone how their choices are crap/not as good as mine because frankly, to do so reeks of poverty.

[Hail22]

Downgraded due to the fact that the car was paid off eventually to which i realised after i bought a car with many underlining problems such as Idrive system issues, software problems, enginge lag, oil gauge kept beeping low after they re-filled/reset the computer and the final straw was the fact the car was parked on the street and became a scratch plate for the garbage truck that came past each week to which my car had heavy passenger side damage (hence the smaller car, a lot more cheaper) until i find a place with an actual garage.

Living with a nice car is great until you realise living in a tight street can become a problem so the options for me became limited.

So i am within reason from my past to be annoyed with expensive cars as they lead to expensive problems, i wouldn't wish it on my enemy trust me.

[Hail22]

LOL do you have to hate on everything that you don't have? GTI is crap cos you can't speed, Xenons are crap because they don't use them in racing. wtf?

Anyway, the same topic comes up with the Golf's from time to time and the answer is the same. Retrofitting Xenons isn't an easy nor cheap job and then you still have to maybe worry about not being RWC. Do a search over in the mk6 forum as corey has covered it before.

I don't hate them, just from experience i didn't really notice much except for the fact it looked cool...for 2.5k extra i would look at upgrades...wouldn't you? ;)

I have driven the GTI its a nice car, neat package for me personally i didn't thoroughly enjoy it as much as when i drove the Golf GTI MK6, then again both cars are slightly different.

Just my view.

Already done :( Corey made me weep on how much it would cost. What a suck that can't retro a standard 77 tsi as was like $4000 OUCH.

oh well. lol

I guess some Phillip HID will be just as fine in there lol could even just get the new LED ones can get now last FOREVER

[Hail22]

or you could wait a few months as i know a few developers in NZ/Japan are making 6R light housings with LED surroundings ;)

As time passes you will notice a lot of affordable modifications will arrive, always at the start is the expensive German products (which are sexy) and later on the replica makers etc will start to get a sniff of the money making potential thus there will be a market in the hopeful near future.

So don't stress its still early days in the 6R mods :)

[Corey_R]

Hail22 and Kane-St-Kane, can you please both play nice and keep on topic, else infractions will be handed out. I haven't read all 16 pages of this thread to see who said what and who started anything, but lets all just be a little more accepting of everyones varied (on topic) opinions.

Cheers.

[madsumberohat]

yeah kids play nice.

As said there options and can be ingored :D


EDIT: And thank Hails, ill reserve judgement untill I get some real time in both cars.

Must say being a big guy *waist wise* not much more of a squeeze then me getting into the ex's new 2010 Maxda 3. and the seat held my wide ASS well lol.
Love the boot it IS bigger than it appears *not the tardis i might add but maybe a smaller tardis for mini me* and love how the seat fold flat - er than any other small car.

can't wait till weekend grr 1 and half more days damn it.


Extra question

i wonder if you can relocate the battery or get like a high performance Battery that's small enoguh so can move it to engine bay and reclaim the boot a bit and fit in a full spare on the gti.

be handy to have a full spare and also could reclaim some boot and get that false floor thing going on gti lol

[jaedencook]

Just a quick question from me.. took my mate for a drive today and he loved it, but was wondering if it was possible to fit a BOV? I couldnt answer him as I've never had a turbo car myself.
Would it interfere with or alter the computer in the car?

[Hail22]

You know, i never thought of it...but now that you mention it the TSI's turbo does wind up a fair bit which means it may be possible to put a Wastegate/BoV I might take a look into Apexi, HKS and see what i find :)

[jaedencook]

Let me know what you find too as i'm actually quite interested.
STZ automotive here in Northgate QLD seem to think its possible but the stock BOV is plumbed back, I'm dropping in this afternoon so they can have a look and see exactly what options are available.
I think it would sound pretty mean with a nice BOV tbh, or as you said, a wastegate.

[madsumberohat]

I wish they make a BOV that sounded like a KAZOO that be awesome lol

Seriously though..

What could you do to a TSI engine without pulling it apart/out etc?
Mapping and tune, Exhaust change over, maybe fiddle with the supercharger *for the gti people* as that should be on top of the engine, get a can of GOO and ditch the spare tyre (since VW give you road side assist for 3 years ;) ) are some can think off top of my head.

thought?

Also wonder what it would be like with a LPI system installed?
LPI should allow for further compresstion right? as a gas directly injected into an engine should cool more effectively than a liquid directly injected.

Also get LPG's higher octane boost as well and LPI offers they say only 5 to 10% drop in millage per 100ks but that more than offset buy LPG's price per litre.


Hmm but where would you put the tank? Roof racks? lol

50L Donut tank in the now empty tyre well, seeing as you just replaced it with goo:P

Dont Know if youd get what your after, as small engine on LP is usually not as efficient/effective as larger engines, octane in lpg is not that good being a propane /butane watered down mix rather than the straight propane high octane mix which we power our BBQ with, cos we so need high octane BBQ's :facepalm:

also expect LPG prices to rise as the (ex liberal) government implemented policy to add an excise (tax) to it and increase the price, you don't think they gave everyone a lpg rebate on conversions out of the kindness of there stone cold black heart did you PMSL:facepalm:

I think you guys bought the wrong car if you wanna do all that stuff. I've always just bought the best thing I could afford and then left it for the most part but cosmetic stuff is easy and a good way of personalising if that is your thing. Performance mods are really just gonna cost a lot of money for fairly minor gains and ruin what is a great reliable and economical run about.

[Hail22]

Hence why i am waiting for either the sport kit (VW variant) for it to be made by other companies as replicas or get the ABT rear, the front of the polo doesn't need work, only the back and ride height thats about it everything else has proven to be quite strong. Small cosmetics as you won't regain most of what you spent regardless upon resale.

Not to mention that it void your warrenty most likely

[madsumberohat]

Agree Hail and dave. The 77 TSI polo is great, as is the GTI if I can afford it:P


Just was wondering.

The tune might be best way to get a boost. Im sure the Germans know best :D might be insteresting to get the VW supercharger for the 1.2 TSI Engine down the track after warrentyis used up, but that be but it.

Best to work on the outside as you say.

I got my new H&R coils earlier this week and had them fitted yesterday, the car still looks low and the ride is a bit more compliant. Also got the Kamei eyelids, haven't decided wether they should be red or black yet?

Also got 20mm H&R wheels spacers so will try them on over the Xmas break and see what the wheel clearance is like.

I have also ordered 2 sets of wheels, Audi R8 V10 reps in 18 x 8 and Audi A1/TTRS 5 spoke titanium reps 18 x 8, should arrive late Jan or early Feb. I will end up selling the rims I don't want.

Will post some pics as I fit the new bits and pieces.

[matty]

what did you do to the suspension billecartz? change springs? what did you do with the old stuff? selling?

also had a good idea for changing the wheels, might get my bovista's painted white, reckon it'd look pretty sweet with the red car once its lowered.

[Hail22]

Your on the money Matty, as the Boavistas so far have been the wheels that stand out more than any other vw variant standard wheel, you are doing it white, sounds solid good luck with it.

Hi Matty,

Yes the springs are for sale, they were only on the car for 5 months. They are H&R to suit a TSI model, 40mm drop at front and 55 drop at rear. You can see pics of the car in some of my previous posts.

I'm not sure about the white, matt or semi gloss black would look better, thats my 2 cents worth.

[Hail22]

Well for me its either wait for 6 months when the PCD 100 variant Black Talledegas or i send in a request for pricing on this colour http://www.gtrblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/wheelcolour-premium-001.jpg the wheel on the right is the colour im aiming for.

I thought you realized that it was just an add on bumper apron when these picks were posted ealier on, I personally dont like how it looks just doesnt do it for me, although if she tried to rip it off in a car park or somthing at least the bumper would survive :P , I would still prefer the whole bumper to be one piece ie why i was interested in the GTI bumper its also mounted higher up so when i lower it she also will have less chance of tearing it off, but we'll see what the after market gurus get upto in the next 6 months hey

Should full put race tape on the car...bwahaha nah jk, well as the new year approaches it will be interesting what is released in the first quarter for post production modifications.

[William_Foster]

Everyone is probably ahead of me on this; but the German website has updated all its brochures for the 2011.5 release. There are a few extra things there that caught my attention; they get the Bi-Xenon as an option on the rest of the range, and they get the drawers under the front seats on the Comfortline [I am using google translator to understand the brochure, so please excuse me if some of the statements are wrong].

They also still get the Polo in optional Orange; like the old Caddy [I am probably on my own here but I think that would look great with the Sports Pack].

[swgn]

Just took delivery of a MY11 77TSI here in Malaysia, those drawers under the front seats came standard.

[William_Foster]

Swgn, there was a bit of discussion on one of the other threads before about Singapore getting the RNS510 standard; so there must be a bit of difference with the cars sold in the Asian countries and Australia. Did you get anything else interesting? By chance a power outlet in the boot?

Not much else very interesting, except that there are absolutely no options available here - so you get what's given :D which seems similar to the Comfortline. Interesting they spec Polo's here with an RCD210, povo pack in the extreme. Am looking into getting an RNS510 soon.

I'll check the boot for an outlet tonight, haven't checked yet.

Mad, I am considering getting the dealer fitted reverse parking sensors installed; if you could post a picture of your back bumper and show me what they look like it would be greatly appreciated [We ordered the same colour and model as you]. By the way do you have the RCD510? If so, were they able to hook up the sensors to give you a picture like comes on the ones that were factory fitted.

By the way, I don't think the drawers add any height to the seat as the ones without them fitted still have the cavity for them to be installed, they just have a blank plates stuck at the front.

Why reversing sensors on a Polo? Doesn't strike me as big enough to warrant them. (Note: I've recently been driving a Suburban in the USA and can see why you'd need it on a BIG car).

Wonder if they can be ordered/retrofitted? My wife's Peugeot 307 Touring has them. Very hand for some stuff. Especially with a sticky mat on the bottom to stop things sliding.

I have the RCD510, so when you engage reverse it shows a picture of the rear of the car and the distance each individual sensor is away from an object.

The RCD510 is excellent and so easy to use.

This is my complaint the reversing sensors dont hook up to anything other than a $2 box wired to the reverse light thats it, they do not connect to the canbus or the RCD, the beep sound is not directional IE not to the side were the sensor is close to an object, it is just a beep in the left hand rear corner only no matter which sensor is detecting an object, there for i dont believe this so called Genuine system could connect to the canbus or rcd for any processing, the real genuine sensors do connect to the can bus and if the right numbers are enabled in the software I believe will give the display on the RCD, this is the only VW i have ever been in that has this single beep system which is why i am questioning if its genuine VW, (we only have the rcd310 but still should be able to connect to it)

will add pics when i learn how

I noticed that in Great Britain you can now option the Bi-Xenon lights (as per the GTI) onto Standard Polo's! When will we get this here?

[Hail22]

probably in the My12 as the 11.5 specs has been released.

[Corey_R]

I completely doubt it.
In the UK you've been able to option them on standard Golf's for ages... yet they've never been available here. Can't see it happening on a Polo before it happens on a Golf.
There are many, many, options and stuff available on overseas models which we don't get here!

[Hail22]

Well if you want to fork out $2,500 i got it quoted via Genuine parts this includes the washer system in the front bumper.

Not a bad price i am thinking about doing this mod.

(Note you need to get the VIN # of the polo GTI then VW genuine parts will search for that as the VW polo TSI search engine doesn't come up with a part or part number)

This also includes the rear bumper of the Polo GTI you can't just ring up and say oh i want to get a quote on the Polo GTI bumper, you will need a VIN number so they may be able to search it under the database.

The RNS510 is only for the Golf models and above... I think the Golf 1.2 TSI doesn't come with it as well.

Polo 1.4 comes with RCD 210 and 1.2TSI with the RCD 310.

Honestly, RNS 510 doesn't realise its full potential with our basic MFD. On the models withe the full digital MFD, you get directional signs and road names with the GPS! :(

Placed an order for the ABT Rear Centralised Exhaust, and rear diffuser after much research it is shown to reduce rear drag and actually provide better down force, the exhaust is apparently a performance boost (does not effect the famous BLURT CLUB) :P

[Corey_R]

lol... I know what a "rear diffuser" does, but it's a bit of a stretch to call the "rear valance" on a Polo (or even a Golf R) a "rear diffuser" - especially since the section in front of the valance isn't flat, or sealed, to guide the air onto the "diffuser".

Do you have a link to the info where you have found it provides better downforce and reduced drag?

[William_Foster]

I went to see my dealer today to discuss dealer fitted options seeing as my delivery date is getting close, unfortunately I got a few surprises. Firstly, I was told the towbar option is $1,600 and the rear parking sensors don't intergrate with the standard car at all. So I have some questions:

Has anyone got a quote for a towbar on the new Polo? Does this price reflect what you have been told?

Does anyone have the OEM Polo dealer fitted parking sensors fitted? If so, any pictures or information about its operation would be greatly appreciated. I understand that sometimes the OEM Golf system is fitted instead of the Polo system because of cost; but I am not sure whether this is the reason that is doesn't intergrate.

Can anyone tell me what the led on the rearview mirror does? Does this have anything to do with reversing sensors or is it something else?

Thanks!

[Corey_R]

The LED in the rearview mirror indicates that the auto-dimming feature is turned on. You can turn it off by pressing the button on the base of the mirror.

[William_Foster]

Thanks Corey; greatly appreciated!

there is no link there is the information provided to me from Ramspeed in Seven Hills who most likely spoke to the ABT guys about it.

So no actual link to provide as it was all over the phone (I have rung up so many times since i bought the car {Late September} to get the information as the ABT website doesn't provide any clear details of what the kit actually does/does not provide.)

[Corey_R]

Yeah - the rear "diffusers" in Polo's and Golf's are just for show. They're not real. I'm not sure if there is any car under $100k with a real one.... maybe the cheaper Lotus Elises or something.

So if it makes your car look better, then great... but don't buy something like that for "performance increases" :)

CHeck out this page on ABT it has a better description of what the weights are and which model and engine for which abt springs , it may help and do believe it depends on your exact model

thanks mad, i'll check it out

Yeah - the rear "diffusers" in Polo's and Golf's are just for show. They're not real. I'm not sure if there is any car under $100k with a real one.... maybe the cheaper Lotus Elises or something.

So if it makes your car look better, then great... but don't buy something like that for "performance increases" :)

Well i could assume from the information that the exhaust system is a defo upgrade in performance, and if its a vanilla effect with the diffuser so be it, at the end it makes a very plain rear body look that more...special.

[MAD]

Why reversing sensors on a Polo? Doesn't strike me as big enough to warrant them. (Note: I've recently been driving a Suburban in the USA and can see why you'd need it on a BIG car).



Wonder if they can be ordered/retrofitted? My wife's Peugeot 307 Touring has them. Very hand for some stuff. Especially with a sticky mat on the bottom to stop things sliding.

Q: Why reversing sensors on a polo?
A: My other half is Vietnamese and Female, you figure it out

Placed an order for the ABT Rear Centralised Exhaust, and rear diffuser after much research it is shown to reduce rear drag and actually provide better down force, the exhaust is apparently a performance boost (does not effect the famous BLURT CLUB) :P

If you dont mind, How much did it set you back?
Does it come in painted rather than carbon fibre? (not a fan of carbon fibre bit tacky, I like the brakelight shroud also but not in carbon)

[Hail22]

Got the rear diffuser in a Black Matte finish (its up to the customer) The exhaust System and rear Diffuser set me back exactly $1890 Installed.

The item itself will not arrive until March/April due to the fact i wanted cheaper shipment so im waiting until they send a Cargo Trailer overseas to be filled with goodies.

[Corey_R]

Was the exhaust TBE or CB ?

[Hail22]

Its a CB so i would only say i would get around 7-11hp increase with a higher note to the engine. If it was a TBE i would run away as i have heard with turbo spool and the amount the polos run with this little thing may rip the heads off the manifold bolts which would scare the bejesus out of me.

[Corey_R]

lmao...
It's simply amazing how much BS is out there ;)

7-11HP from a Cat back on atiny engine???
I really doubt that it would be that much of an increase, maybe 1-3hp at most.

That is the main reason i didn't do the one on the Tig, just wasn't worth it.

[Hail22]

Who knows may be a sales pitch but with the price im getting it at even if i get 1-3 i merely did it for the personal enjoyment of having it centered.

It was either that or pay $1200 with paint on a Reiger rear bumper...which was...idk a rip to me

If not mate you live and you learn, thats sometimes the only way we become wiser. However at least im a Guinea pig for the VWWatercooled forums, so if it turns out well i really don't care if other people get it. :)

Fingers crossed.

[Corey_R]

lmao...
It's simply amazing how much BS is out there ;)

Ooops... after reading team_v's comments, it just occured to me how mean my comment might sound! I meant that the BS is about a TBE ripping the heads of manifold bolts.... not the HP increase claims of the exhaust! (though, they're a bit suspect anyway). Most of your increase comes from the downpipe and cat replacement, which is why you often see people leave the catback section and just replacing the "invisible" bits.

Catback is good for changing the exhaust note, and the looks. So if that's the reason you bought it, then I'm sure you'll be happy!
I once purchased a TBE for the looks as well (Quad pipe on my MKV GTI) when I could've just gone for the downpipe for the Stage II requirements :)

[Hail22]

Yeah i love the beat she has now, i really did it for the aesthetics of the rear as it doesn't do much justice, hell even if they chromed the tip it would of been nice, but im glad these mods come out as it looks like a Baby R without having to be a rice special with stickers and crap hanging off.

Don't worry i didn't take offence personally i know two bits of F all about car mods, turbos etc however if it comes to replacing parts (globes, wipers, oil, filters, sumps, fuel lines and internal items inside the cabin) and driving a car/Go-kart or Tourer like its stolen thats a different story. xD

[Corey_R]

Well... all you need to do now is post some pics of your car :P

[Hail22]

yeah until i wait for my tight ass postage wait period for the parts to arrive, by the time Thomas orders the part and gets it here will be looking at an Easter weekend *hoping* :D

[Allegiance]

Yeah i love the beat she has now

What do you mean the beat it has now? You haven't got it :S

I went to see my dealer today to discuss dealer fitted options seeing as my delivery date is getting close, unfortunately I got a few surprises. Firstly, I was told the towbar option is $1,600 and the rear parking sensors don't intergrate with the standard car at all. So I have some questions:

Has anyone got a quote for a towbar on the new Polo? Does this price reflect what you have been told?

Does anyone have the OEM Polo dealer fitted parking sensors fitted? If so, any pictures or information about its operation would be greatly appreciated. I understand that sometimes the OEM Golf system is fitted instead of the Polo system because of cost; but I am not sure whether this is the reason that is doesn't intergrate.

Can anyone tell me what the led on the rearview mirror does? Does this have anything to do with reversing sensors or is it something else?

Thanks!

Usually the dealers here fit an "aftermarket" kit sold as the genuine accessory though VW (sourced from Cobra by VW Germany). They can just drill a hole in the bumper and they clip in and look neat. That's why they don't integrate with the car electronics.

The genuine sensors require a whole new bumper skin which has the sensor mounts molded into the back skin. Then the factory sensors clip in from the back and everything sits flush on the bumper skin.

If you have the factory sensors they can also be programmed to allow for having a towbar (so the sensors dont go off every time you reverse because they are picking up the towball signal).

The towbar fitment itself is expensive because it requires a module and special harness as well to integrate all the extra load from the extra tail lights etc into the vehicle electronics. The factory harness would also turn off the rear fog light in the car automatically once you plug it in.

That price even sounds excessive for VW Australia. :mad:

[markis]

hi guys..
didnt want to make a new thread but, can anyone confirm that the stud patten for the 6R polo is 5x100?

Absolutely YES. 5 x 100

Graeme86; do you have any ideas where I could get the part number for the proper part your were mentioning? If I can try to get another quote from the dealer.

Thanks for the information; I knew there would be something available as Billecartz and others who got one of the first 100 had the option, so I can't see why you couldn't buy it as they would need spares for repair and replacement you would think.

[matty]

did you order the adr rear end hail? how much did you end up paying?

They list a few different bumpers, with and without towbar option and with and without sensors (and there are also different bumpers depending on licence plate size). You would have to confirm which one fits yours from your VIN/option codes fitted. I believe in the Polos case the bumper for the sensors just has a proper hole pre-drilled. So you might get away with drilling out your bumper carefully with a step drill - there would hopefully be a mark on the inner skin where the holes go. They have to be in the exact location for the mounts to glue on properly as they are shaped to the curve of the bumper skin.

It looks like the sensor mounts are actually glued to the back possibly as there are some mounting parts listed below for the sensor to mount into.

So these should be the parts (confirm with dealer).

4 x Sensors 3C0919275SGRU - require painting
(4 x O-ring seal 1T0919133C9B9 - may come with sensor anyway)
1 x bracket - left outer 6R0919491D
1 x bracket - left inner 6R0919491E
1 x bracket - right inner 6R0919492E
1 x bracket - right outer 6R0919492D

1 x control unit 6R0919475 - will integrate with vehicle electronics properly
1 x bracket for control unit 6R0971362B - also holds factory trailer module if fitted
1 x buzzer 8E0919279
2 x split rivets N0385051 to mount buzzer to bracket

1 x wiring harness for rear bumper park sensors 6R0971065

May also require these extra parts to mount module:
1 x base 867955499
4 x split rivet N0385051

Again, you will need to see whats inside your bumper at the moment - especially whether there are any markings in the proper spot.

I would just order one of the mounting brackets, say - left outer 6R0919491D - just to see what you actually are getting and go from there. If its just a flat adhesive bracket that doesn't clip into something on the inner skin then you would be good to go getting some holes drilled yourself into existing bumper. They have to be pretty exact as well so everything is tight - the sensors are actually slightly tapered where they go through the bumper skin (or at least the O-ring is) so the hole has to be drilled from inside.

Good luck.:cool:

(This is how I am trying to mount sensors in my R32 - that's why I have researched all this stuff before.)

[Hail22]

did you order the adr rear end hail? how much did you end up paying?

You mean the ABT rear diffuser? the kit is the exact same as the one from the ABT website with the Exhaust centering with Catback, Diffuser (depends on colour or choice you make) with instal priced at $1890 cash

The negetive side to this is that i have to wait til they bring a shipment in at March (saved a lot of dough) oh well, i at least have the choice to pull out if CCC get back to me with the pricing of the GTI rear bumper as the part i ordered is on back order :(

[Billecartz]

On Our tdi there are markings for where the genuine sensors should mount to the back of the bumper, they are moulded centre marks only (no clip in moulding just markings) when they put our so called genuine kit in they didnt even use these markings I have a photo showing where ours are mounted and the marking below it to the side would like to share this to clarify but dont know how to post photos (any tips?),

The marking is definately where the guys with the factory fitted sensors have theres mounted, the position is identical to the photos ive seen of the factory mounted kit, (externallay only)

If anyone gets a quote for this true kit please post it here so noone else gets ripped with the other so called genuine vw cobra kit (ours vw genuine? cobra cost $761 dealer fitted = major rip off, personally think its only worth about $150 max fitted)

Ps: if anyone has pics of the factory fitted version from behind the bumper could please post them to clarify so we can see how they actually mount them and what they look like.

929kg is for petrol cars and 930kg is for diesel cars.

I believe it also depends on whether you have a DSG or Manual and which petrol motor you have, (different weights) although the diesel most definatly would require the heavy dutys being a heavier motor,

Billecartz, If you dont mind me asking which springs did you remove and what did you replace them with? and why? what did you find to be the difference? (hight, compliance, ride, handleing etc)

There is no "factory fit" kit, you need to buy all the parts I listed separately and install them (or tick the option box when you order the car) :(

The stock mounts in your case are just a socket shaped piece of plastic which the sensor slides into, then there is a flat "rosette" on one end which just sticks to the inner skin of the bumper.

Have a look at the pics on this thread:

VWVortex.com - Hi-Def / R-GT Front Fascia Install w/ MANY Photos (http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?4847797-Hi-Def-R-GT-Front-Fascia-Install-w-MANY-Photos)

This has some great pics on how the factory sensors mount (not a Polo but exactly the same setup)

If your bumper is already drilled now, then the holes for your sensors are probably bigger than the stock sensor holes, so if you want to put in the factory kit you may now be up for a new bumper skin as well :(

[Hail22]

Have Cancelled my order for the ABT Exhaust and rear diffuser, just coped a sniff from a relative who is in management of NRMA and these floods up in QLD will start to effect home and contents insurance, car insurance, green slips etc.

So im pulling all plugs on upgrades or mods until the full backlash and the cost associated to all this damage will do to mine and everyone else;s hip pocket.

My advice is unless you really need it or you have squillions to splash around be-careful as these floods could cause an effect from simple things as food to our luxuries.

[Corey_R]

It will only affect them to a certain extent... once the damage bill gets too much, the "re-insurance" is enacted (that's the insurance for the insurance companies) so it covers the insurance companies and helps prevent too much of an impact to consumers. Hence why each time there is a national disaster (fires/floods in vic in the past few years, hail storms in syd, melb, perth, over the past few years too), insurance premiums don't really go up too much.

[William_Foster]

I did some research at the dealership today on options I thought I would share; and ask for feedback:

Rear Parking Sensors
The dealership I am dealing with installs a system by AutoTecnica by standard; not sure what the others do. I got a quote on the parts mentioned by Graeme earlier in this thread; that came in at $1200 for parts and then you had to add labour on top and they could not guarantee it would work like the factory fitted sensors. However, I found a part number for the genuine part which they hadn't installed before at the dealership called 'Park distance control - rear' [Part Number 6R0054630B]. The big question is does anyone have a friend in VW who could find out the details of this part and whether it can be connected to show an image on the RCD510?


[Edit: I found this info on a website, still no information on whether it connects to the RCD510 - Rear Parking Aid Kit, Polo V (A05-6R) 2009 >, Risk-free and easy manoeuvring in reverse gear: This is achieved by the retrofitting of an original Volkswagen Park Distance Control. Four harmonised sensors integrated in the bumper detect all obstacles. An acoustic warning signal helps the driver to avoid collisions. The system is fitted with an intelligent setup function so that, for example, a tow-bar is not incorrectly identified as an obstacle.]

Bluetooth
The dealership advised that the premium bluetooth option [Not the one with the additional screen that sits on the dash, the one that allows you to dial via the RCD510] will not fit in the Polo; and it does not work with iPhones as apparently they do not allow remote dialling [Something to do with the SIM card]. Can anyone confirm this?

Underseat Drawers
Apparently you can order underseat drawers; the part numbers are: Frame - 6Q08825999B9; Drawer - 6R0882601C82V; Glide Piece - 6Q0881203; Socket HD Bolt - N90918701. Its expensive at $132 per seat, but it is going to make my wife very happy as this was the thing that sold her the car when we test drove it; it wasn't pretty when we were told that it was only available on the first 100 cars.

My dealer (Solitaire Medindie - SA) is installing the premium bluetooth option in my car whenever, if ever, it arrives. They have said it will work with the RCD510 as well as the MFD. This is the 'invisible' (you don't see it) one not the crappy additional screen thing.

[William_Foster]

The premium bluetooth option comes with the following note on the Volkswagen Genuine Accessory Master List 'Volkswagen Premium Bluetooth Kit (only compatible with RNS510 or RCD510 and must have multifunction steering wheel and highline dash)(only compatible phones with RSAP, remote sim access, iPhone and Blackberry not compatible)'

EDIT: Apparently some guys worked out a way to resolve the RSAP problem in a Skoda; it may work for Volkswagens also? http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/182537-installed-rns510-module-3c8035730a-rsap-bluetooth/

+1
I was told exactly the same.
Really have to wonder why we get differing info from dealerships?
As someone again mentioned this being factory fitted.....salesman was very
clear in saying this is not an option on the Polo and its dealer fitted only
The touch screen unit is another Bluetooth option they tend to recommend for commercial vehicles

[gavs]

It really is ridiculous isn't it. VW claim to be so far advanced over other manufacturers and yet out of the whole fleet at work which is full of workhorse commercial vehicles (Amarok doesn't have it standard either, which they say is superiour to all other competitors!), not one car that has integrated bluetooth doesn't accept the iPhone!!

I would have thought that at lease the GTi model would have it standard with the audio system upgrade....

[Corey_R]

Guys there are multiple versions of the "premium" bluetooth kit.
The original version didn't support the iPhone. Later versions do. It's very hard when you guys use these "marketting names" rather than model numbers.

The "9ZB" MY11 factory bluetooth option is basically the replacement to the premium kit. It definitely supports the iPhone. The premium kit used to cost ~$2200 dealer installed and now only costs $550 from the factory. Unfortunately it doesn't appear to be available for the Polo yet, but you could probably get one of the 9ZB equivs from eBay and install it yourself. EIther way - there is much more info in the VW Car Audio and Electronics (http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/f78/) forum than you'll find in this "aftermarket body parts" thread...

[Carlos_Hangover]

Hey Carlos


Please look on google for a company Ramspeed Automotive (Seven hills Sydney) speak to Thomas (one of the sale staff) he is usually out of the office but he will get in contact with you via phone, just leave them the info of what you would like quoted for the model of polo you have (TSI, TDI, GTI or the 1.4)

Thanks for the reply Hail22, called him a he quoted me $1600 delivered, though I'm also interested in the GTi rear bumper. Did you get a quote on one yourself? and for how much?

Hey guys,
sister just picked up her new polo today.
Its a bog standard petrol engine (sorry i dont know my polos) white in colour with comfort pack.
very nice little car.
I would like to get her some rims as a present to replace the hub caps she has on it at the moment.
Nothing major just some matte black 15" or maybeeee 16".
What size and fitment are they and where could i source a good yet decently priced set around melbourne or even over the net?
thanks

Have not received word back from VW at CCC or VWA, apparently there is shortage of parts as well as shortage of GTI's as the guy has no price in the database to give me even with the POG Vin number i gave them, which means they haven't even received shipment of spare parts for that particular batch......

Don't get me wrong, but if you were going to bother "upgrading" a sound system, you may as well upgrade to something good. Especially in the case where you were going to pay someone to do the work for you, cause the labour would cost more than these parts!

It has been a while since it has been mentioned, but I am still stuck on getting the BlueMotion Grille for my soon to arrive Polo TDI.
I have been in contact with dealers overseas trying to get the part, finally one of the dealers has responded positively, but they need a chassis number to be able to identify the part; does anyone know where I can get a BlueMotion Chassis number from? Alternatively, has anyone had luck locating the part number?
I have found references on overseas forums which highlight that people in Europe have made the modification, but no numbers get mentioned.
Any assistance you may be able to provide would be greatly appreciated.

[Corey_R]

Are you sure it's a wise move for Australia? I don't know where in Australia you are, but one of the reasons for Bluemotion cars coming here is our "high heat" designation. There is no guarantee that even when Bluemotion cars come to Australia that we'll have the same grill, due to the restriction of airflow to aid in disipation of heat from the engine bay.

Yeah, don't get me wrong, I'm not in any way a mechanic or privileged to Volkswagen's service bullitens etc. So it might be 100% fine. But if it were my new Polo TDI, I'd be wanting to make sure before I went using my car as the "pilot tester"!

Who on earth are Helix? And only €259 inc 20% VAT.

Don't get me wrong, but if you were going to bother "upgrading" a sound system, you may as well upgrade to something good. Especially in the case where you were going to pay someone to do the work for you, cause the labour would cost more than these parts!

Just did some review searching they are the main competitors to Rockford Forsgate, a US designed and made product.

Will dig deeper and find out more, but with work piling up it may be nearly a week before i come with more info.

1 x control unit 6R0919475 - will integrate with vehicle electronics properly


Does this CU support OPS? I heard the one for GTI is 6R0919475B, what's the difference with the other?

Was doing a search on ebay and found that you can get numerous led lights to replace all interior original lights to bright leds as well as the number plate ones.

Had a look at my Polo GTI 6R license plate lights and the ones you mention won't fit as the housing assembly is different. Unless there is a way of disassembling the OEM one? or cutting wires?

There are some OEM LED number plate lights available now on some models of Golf VI

Just google the part number 1K8943021B for some pictures of them.

If your stock ones are Part number 1K8943021, then they should be interchangeable - compare the pics you find to your originals

Edit: see Corey_R comment below regarding possible compatibility issues

Just a word on the OEM LED number plate lights... it's the same with the Golf as well. They come standard now with Xenon optioned cars.

BUT! and why I'm posting here. They cause errors on some cars, and thus far no one has found a solution in VCDS. See the Golf thread here. (http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/f112/led-number-plate-lights-59337.html)
