What have you done with your Polo so far (and today)

If it's anything like mine (and it sounds similar but I haven't really heard mine from the back, only the front) then it's the turbo waste-gate rattling.

It's annoying as, mostly does it after restarting the engine after a short run.

Sounds really metallic from the front of the engine. If you say your bros GTI is doing it though it may mean its something different. I'm not sure if the GTI's are using electronic waste-gates like the Polo but I'm pretty sure they aren't.

I noticed that in the new Golf 7 when the car is unlocked it primes the turbo actuator so that this noise doesn't occur - so they know about it, they just couldn't be bothered releasing an update.

Yer it seems kinda strange that it's only just starting to make the sound though

You've eliminated the one thing that makes this car unique

That was the point
Just need some unassuming plates now.

Haha I see what he is doing! All you need is some standard issue plates, standard TSI grille and put the OEM "Polo" badge on the back and they will think its a Trendline - you will then have the best Trolling machine.

If you really wanted to make it look legit get some 14" black steelies haha

Hi everyone! Been stalking everyones posts over the past few days looking for ideas and everything. I'm Aaron from Ireland.

My car is pretty standard (i.e. basically yellow fogs and chrome stuff!) so far but here's a couple of photo's I stole from my instagram.





I've ordered a set of 17inch Alloys which came today with 215/40 tyres. Soon I'm going to install the VW Approved Lowering Springs which are 30mm front and back. So that's exciting as it's my first real 'mod' haha. I'm pretty hardcore!! Though I am scared that my front ones won't fit without scraping!

Yeah! Thanks for telling me about the site. Will have a look on that thread now! I've also 300+ pages of Polo photos too look at! So good!

Traded the GTI for a 2001 model car SMH!
Thought I'd get out of it before it losses too much resale and save for that new Polo R in a year or so

No way...like your thinking on the Polo R though.
Spilling the beans on what your new purchase is?
