What did you do to your Polo today?

Over the past month I have done a SEAT Intake, had the 30K Service done and had the Turbo to Intercooler pipe replaced under Warranty. Also, on Thursday had Gavin come round and do the Custom Code reflash. Also currently waiting for delivery of a BMC Air Filter.

The power increase with the reflash in awesome, but did cause one hiccup. The new intercooler pipe was held together by spring clamps, and the extra boost generated by the reflash caused the pipe to blow off. Although it was an easy fix, I didn't have the tools at home (need to address this issue). VW Assist wanted to tow my car as the intercooler hose was 'Major Repairs', so got RAA round by describing it as a radiator hose over the phone. The technician that came out took 10mins out of the 15mins to determine that is wasn't a radiator hose, then concluded that everything should be ok. I am now considering replacing all spring clamps with standard hose clamps. Was a good start to the easter weekend.

Just bought a K&N panel filter...$121.93 inc GST

good price?

I paid about $90 in Darwin, but that was last year. Fitting will tale about 2 min...All you need is a phillips head screw driver.

Think I paid $95 a couple of years ago ... with change in exchange rate ... probably about the same.

Had the V2 flash done. Is it just my imagination or does 3rd pull a whole lot harder?

Another one for the 'Dark Side'. :D

If I get chance I'll drop that spring clamp tool in, on my way home tomorrow night. I'll leave it with you until next week if you like.

Get the clamps changed and we'll look at tweaking it a bit.
