What did you do to your Polo today?

Looks like I'll be in touch some time soon, Gavin!

There's a good chance I'll be in Campbelltown end of next week at CamdenGTI. I can promise a more exciting drive home if you come up!!
No need to pull your ECU out either. I can just flash it through the OBD as normal.

That sounds like a plan! Let me know when you'll be there once confirmed and I'll shuffle my schedule to suit.

I'll probably fly down during next thursday and leave Saturday arvo. Do you plan any further modifications? I have Phase 2 tunes for downpipes and also Secondary Air Delete tunes too.

I'd also recommend a dog bone insert.

If you haven't looked yet, have a read of my cheapy GTI thread for some inspiration and what not to do.

Ok; I'm free Thursday until 3pm, Friday after 4:30, and after 1pm Saturday. Let me know when you've confirmed your arrival time and we can try to sort something out.

I was planning on stopping at phase 1, plus maybe adding a TIP and A PD160 down the track; don't want to go too far from stock, and I think with the suspension mods I've done that should be plenty enough fun for a daily drive!

I have an APR mount which isn't yet installed (came with the car) so maybe the guys at Camden can fit it whilst you do the flash?

Cheers,

Steve

Finally have confirmation on what's wrong with my Polo after a checkover today... Turbo bearings are going, and it's rubbing/rattling.

Currently summing up the cost of replacing the turbo, to selling the car

Anyone know what the specs of the K03 turbo are to aide in my search? Are they all made equal, or best to track one down that came from the correct era Polo 1.8t engine?

That's bad news mate. It's a K03s you need to look for. If you bought a brand new turbo and paid for fitting. It should be doable under 2k or there abouts.

You can get secondhand turbos off ebay under $500 delivered.

Hi Gavin, I thought it was just the Cup edition that had the K03s, with the regular GTI running the K03 - I take it I've got that wrong?
