November 2007 I believe. You can just call any dealer and quote your VIN, they'll advise you if any campaigns are active for your car.

I had a spastic attack at the service manager for washing the car for a airbag replacement. No way of saying it politely, but do not touch the fkn car.. Can't stand VW service, bunch of twits.Quote:

Yeah I'd freak out if they washed my car. I think based on your experience, if I ever have to take it in, I'll definitely tell them not to wash it.
Also, I think it's important that if they take delivery of the vehicle, for whatever reason (warranty etc), they should do a full round inspection of the car and inspect any scratches, dents etc. Last thing you want is a scratch down the side of the panel and for them to say "well we didn't do it".
Sometimes I wonder, if I ran a dealership...
One thing to consider is that as well as being easier to make a light vehicle handle well than a heavier one, it is also easier to make it handle well if it has less power. And part of the equation is narrow tyres as the lower scrub radius improves steering response and the tyre is less affected by camber changes.Quote:

Even playing with tyre pressures can quite noticably adversely alter its handling. The Sports variant (wider tyres, stiffer suspension, more power) is faster but the handling is not as sharp.
time to sell Greg your V1's??? :cookie:Quote:

wow try that's gonna be intense - given the designs of the polo struts, no matter what setup one buys we'd still have to take the back suspension apart to adjust, right?
so what are you gonna do with your rears - set it up stiff straight off the bat?
Yeah looks like you have to take these out too, due to the design of the polo rear strutsQuote:
