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

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.
Looking good @LukePolo! Any pics of the damaged original rims?
Fuel pump failure or in-tank filter clogged
Ok awesome. I opted for free shipping so I'd probably be expecting them before the end of the week. Thanks :)
Did you buy the bulbs from Blingwork? How long did shipping take (just bought some W21/5W DRL bulbs from them for my up!)
Alex.
Is it a DSG or just a normal torque-converter auto? Lots of US-spec VWs have normal autos instead of DSGs.
The sensor can connect to cars with the brake pad wear warning system which will throw a warning light when the pads get too low. If your car doesn't have the system, but the pads you bought do, many...
This is because putting HID bulbs into reflector housings which are designed for halogen bulbs ALWAYS causes excessive glare to oncoming traffic as well as reduced useful light output for you, the...
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.
Your 77 has 288s on it!? Why does our 66TDI (with heavy diesel lump hanging over the front) have the puny, warp-prone 256s on it?? My up! has the same 256mm front rotors ffs.
I love Polo but for no tangible reason I'd prefer the German build of Golf and the newer platform over the South African build of Polo and its much older platform... Polo is still lovely though and...
I'd recommend:
15k - Oil and oil filter
30k - Oil and oil filter, air filter, pollen filter
45k - Oil and oil filter
60k - Oil and oil filter, air filter, pollen filter
75k - Oil and oil...
Glad to hear it's still working!
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!
Carbon buildup in intake manifolds and the backs of intake valves is very common in DI engines as soot builds up from the EGR and doesn't get cleaned from the intake valves by the injectors (as they...
Hello everyone in up! land. I've been on this forum for a fair while in the 6R Polo section, with that car belonging to my sister, but with my 18th birthday a mere two months away, the search for my...
Inner ones are the fogs and outer ones are DRLs
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.
Final assembly in Vietnam!? That seems like a really weird decision from Skoda. Surely quality will be affected.
Golf Alltrack won't come here as a diesel because that would hurt Passat Alltrack sales (and VW won't like that). If you want a diesel Golf Alltrack though, check out the Skoda Octavia Scout. It...
That test compared factory AMG wheels to Chinese knock-off wheels that imitated the same design and didn't conform to Australian standards. Aftermarket wheels from reputable manufactures, such as BBS...
See my reply above.
The rear can't really be aligned as it's a torsion bar setup and has no adjustments. I think the only option if it's been bent out of shape considerably is to replace the entire torsion bar, but I'm...
I've had very good results with a DIY windscreen chip repair kit such as this one: Rain-X Windshield Repair Kit - Supercheap Auto Australia
Fills in the crack/chip and if you do it right, can leave...
