Racingline is the company VW themselves use when they want something tuned .... in fact, Racingline was created by VW themselves to run the factory 'works' motorsport programmes in the UK.
Depends which tuning company they use.
Ask them if they have the software for a EA888-3B engine and if they have done a new AW/AE Polo GTI before.
A DSG/TCU tune would be something I would...
Note that Golf GTI 7/7.5/8 in Australia runs the EA888-3 engine, it is not the same as the Polo 2.0TSI. Gen 4 (EA888-4) is only found in the R models (Golf 8 R/T-Roc R/Tiguan R) in Australia.

AW/AE Polo GTI 2.0TSI runs the EA-888-3B engine. I would suggest you find a Racingline dealer.
The stock tune on that Scout makes all of its 280NM at 1350rmin! No aftermarket off-the-shelf tune will do that, they are all geared towards maximum performance (which occurs higher up in the rev...
Without knowing the build date, it could either be the Gen 1 or the Gen 3. If late 2015 its likely a Gen 3, it has the IS12.
The Polo GTI (MY17 EA888-3) I have has the IS12 (for the time being)...
It may unfortunately be that the tune and the way it has moved the torque curve may not be ideal for your specific needs.

Which tune did you put on Murray?
The 1.8TSI has a substantially more chubby torque curve than the 1.4TSI and with a good tune should be even better.
We need somebody to organize it ... I was just talking about it over the weekend, keen to put a few of the cars on as well.
034 Motorsport is a USA company and their tunes are not tested during development on Australian delivered cars. Australian delivered cars and those in USA are often different in specs.
OEM+ tunes...
On Stop-Start ....
On the facelifted T-Rocs the Aliexpress dongles no longer works as the plugs behind the buttons have changed.
You can however unplug the battery monitor plug on the battery...
Congrats mate, I am interested to know what OBD11 coding you did on it though. My wife's R could potentially do with some of that too.
Even if you buy nothing, the kits on that link will give you the part numbers you need, as well as a list of all the parts required.

That is absolutely not a GTI.
South African GTIs (being built from 1982 onwards) all had the later larger taillights and the "newer" dash, and no GTI ever had a tan interior.
Somebody stuck...
Have a look here, all the parts you would need to retrofit PDC to a Mk 6.

The only original 4 door MK1 GTI's in the world were sold in South Africa from 1982 onwards. They are also super scarce these days. If you can find 1 (in South Africa) you can privately import it.

Worn parts from a 2010 GTI sells for practically nothing and the hassle of pulling parts off is not worth it. It would be better to sell the whole car.
A wrecker might give you a couple of...
R-Lines did not have inner DRL LEDs in the headlights.
I second OEM+ as the tune of choice in Brisbane.
For some intake sound, MST has a cold air intake.

In the rain you can go 4H to reduce wheelspin when taking off. Try not to use it too often on sharp corners though (this is when you need it most I know :P). On a dry road, stick to 2H.
BTW:...
Depends on whether you have the manual or the DSG really. For both, regular servicing is key, the EA888.3 is a great engine and provided servicing is done when requried can go a long time. Brake...
Welcome, mate. It is a fun little car, I have 1 too. Not without issues but pretty good overall.
VW wants $140 per coilpack, so $420 plus labour of perhaps an hour, say $500 all up. For once the stealer is cheaper ....
$57 from VW each. Saw some online for ~$35-40, but that needed delivery of up to 2 weeks, needed them today :(, so all up $160 for 3 new plugs.
From the looks of it, it needs an oil change...
