    Out of stock again (and happy)

    Took my beloved DNA enhanced polo to trusted VW garage for a check-up on it's hesitation in gear engagement. The dealer was great - very thorough, even resetting the engine management software to diagnose what might be wrong...

    ...boy did I notice the difference when they'd finished with it. My Polo had lost its mojo. It took me a day or two to realise, but then only a minute or two to act.

    I called John and DNA and he shipped me out his software again. 15 minutes of install time, and my polo got its mojo back.

    I can testify to the difference it makes to the 77kw motor, and to John's responsiveness to his clients. It only takes a few moments of driving without the DNA treatment to remember how 'stock' feels like. Now it's zippy and engaging again.

    I'm just glad the Polo I know and love is back

    Merry Christmas and safe driving to all,

    good to hear

    two questions: what ended up being the problem and did the VW guys mention anything about the DNA software?

    I've heard good things about DNA but have never got around to pulling the trigger

    They said that maybe something had got corrupt when it had the two recall changes (shim and rattle from pipes)
    No mention of detecting a software mod.
    What ever they did cleared the mechatronic issue but it just slowed the car overall. DNA re-injected and its all sweet again
