Hey NR027
The 17's could be the problem, but I doubt it as there are guys in the club that have 17's on their Polo's but I can't remember them saying it affected their performance.
Fanatix has 17's on, ask him
Cheers

Howzit Nic
thanks for the reply. took the car to VW they said all seems fine
I think that i've just gotten used to the power.
Ps the guy said that the rims could of added some weight on the vehicle

Re: Polo 1.9TDI
Could possibly be a rolling weight issue, as if there is more weight on the rim of the wheel, it is harder to get it rollingNR027 wrote:Howzit Nic

I think they do have a negative effect. Last wednesday I diced a 2.0 Polo like mine, the guy had an Xhorst, I have a modded airbox. My pull off sucked big time, he got 2 cars ahead. I beat him by 4 cars. He had 17's, I have the standard 15" rims and tyres.Neuk wrote:Hey NR027
