My Black 2011 6R Polo GTI

Larry mate, you needed to flog it from the get-go! Don't baby it, though if you have done over 100kms on the clock, no point now....

I hear you bud, but I'm just a bit worried cos the manual says run it in for 1000kms.....?!?!?!

Awesome little car!

Thanks Mate...

Hey! Looks like mine! Except for the headlights...

Yep, lots of people subscribe to the "Don't baby it" school of thought on this forum - despite what it says in the manual. Just make sure you warm it up first. I was skeptical, but now on 2000km, and no sign of losing oil.

How long before you remove the bluish protective plastic on the VW logo on the engine cover? I didn't even notice it on mine until I was 1000kms in!

Hahahhaha Removed it yesterday. Still have the plastic around the gear knob though........

Bro if you take it for a service replace the filter with the original one.
Lindsay saker made a huge issue about it when they saw mine...............
