Instead of trying to fix the situation though, they try and hide thinking I will go away.

Wrong.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy either, I feel for you man

Yep, car isn't like that anymore. John sold his car about 6 months ago for a golf R instead. He just couldn't get what he wanted power wise out of the uk tuners.

Are there any tuners out there that are able to crack the polo ecu and tune real time? Im seriously considering going a bigger turbo but the lack of "custom" tuning is holding me back. My old holdens had tuners in every suburb able to tune anything done to them.

Yeah, but that's because they could be tuned with a pair of pliers and a screw driver

Speak to Guy, I know the Hurdy was talking with apr in regards to custom mapping...

Haha not quite on the LS1 but every man and his dog could tune them.

Yeah i'll have a chat to Guy and see what he says.

If you have a warranty problem (or are concerned about it) - there is some information here:

A guide to consumers about modifying a vehicle & their rights

Volkswagen / Volkswagen Dealers have come unstuck a few times now by attempting to "bully" a consumer by using modifications as a reason for denying warranty without even checking a vehicle. There is an interesting case coming up in the VIC courts shortly on a similar issue, and independent mechanical engineers have been engaged to investigate. Very interesting & not favorable to VW & their tactics (Polo GTI too).

Where can we watch what is going on with this story Guy?

I also have some issues with the DSG. It's been a bit clunky since day one but now it occasionaly lags a little on initial acceleration and then kicks in. There is some remap of the DSG setup which I haven't had done yet. Anyone care to speculate what could be going on?

There is an update available at VW/Skoda... it helps with initial hesitation off the line.
