And so the mods begin...

**mr_walker** · 31-08-2008, 05:32 PM

Well I bought a bunch of stock Polo GTI stuff from Timbo today so I can get to work on my Polo TDI which is a new addition to the family ...

This is my first go at modding a car, and I'm playing it safe by sticking with factory VW gear.

Does anybody have the springs colour coding figured out? My Polo came with a tow pack, so it probably already has stiffer springs in the back ... I'm guessing. I just noticed the colour dots today and I'm guessing they mean something.

I just checked the stock Polo TDI with tow pack - Rear: Yellow,Yellow,White,Orange Front: Red, Blue, Blue, Blue (and small white dot).

The stock GTI gear is - Front: Red, Red, Red, Green,Green and Rear: Orange, White, White, Orange

Cheers,

Walker

With the diesel engine up front, your springs & dampers may need to be "heavier" than those on a GTI. But then, the GTI ones may be heavier than the diesel ones already.

Good luck with all the fun

Yeah - Timbo had a look at the spec sheets, and the TDI is only 30kg heavier than the GTI (but I'm sure it's distributed differently), so hopefully it won't be a problem.

Cheers - I had a look at his stuff, and SWMBO is already eyeing off the top dash compartment. Well if that means I can get the other bits ... then all's good
