    up!'s gearbox is only rated to 120Nm which would be your limiting factor but I have (briefly) toyed with the idea of throwing a turbo on mine. Won't ever do it though

    1.6 tdi Stalls

    My TDI had the same stalling issue with exactly the same symptoms as yours. It was faulty injectors and they were replaced under warranty. No issues since.

    2015 Polo headlight

    Did you buy the bulbs from Blingwork? How long did shipping take (just bought some W21/5W DRL bulbs from them for my up!)

    Is it a DSG or just a normal torque-converter auto? Lots of US-spec VWs have normal autos instead of DSGs.

    I don't think that -1mm between the edge of the rotor and the caliper will cause any issue. They're not in there with zero clearance to begin with.

    Good to hear it all worked out for you! Sounds like you've had a far more positive experience with your local VW dealer than the rest of us have had with ours. Glad the car drives great now!

    That is true. The cars in our driveway are made in South Africa (VW Polo) and Turkey (Renault Megane) so I suppose Vietnam isn't a huge stretch past that. Still, I'm not sold.
