If 1.4 or 1.6 engine then rather leave because you will waste your money...

Re: Help boost kw New polo
Hi sorry,
Polo model: Polo 6 or new shape polo
Engine size: 1.6
I'm roughly looking to boost some performance but don't need modification such as a turbo, only minor changes that just improves little performance for now
Thanks

Re: Help boost kw New polo
I was looking at k&N short ram filters or cold intake filters. Good idea?

Re: Help boost kw New polo
its been proven that the stock air box and the paper filter gives best performance for these small engines.
fitting a cone intake or panel filter might make you sound fast but wont do anything else.

Sell it and buy a Polo Gti, Do not modify a car under warranty you will just risk it and waste your time and money.

Re: Help boost kw New polo
There are such small gains to be had on the N/A motor.
Rather do not mod.
Save up and by a Turbo and then you can really see some gains.
Sorry for the harsh words, but it is the truth.

Re: Help boost kw New polo
You can do what you would like but it may not necessarily be recommended or a good idea. The 1.4 and 1.6 Polo motors aren't renowned for their performance potential and are very limited in terms of performance modifications, never mind that fiddling with a car well within its manufacturers warranty isn't always the best idea if you can't afford to fix what you may break...kili1 wrote:Lol, So i cant do anything?

Re: Help boost kw New polo
By fitting a filter you might jump 1hp if you fit a full exhaust system, There you will feel a small increase in power but your warranty will be void, Almost all the guys that toyed with small capacity N/A went and swapped it for a bigger engine as this is the best way to make more power. Best will be either a Polo Gti or if that is to much for you sell the polo and buy something out of warranty like a Golf 5 Gti and modify that but be warned if something goes wrong.kili1 wrote:Lol, So i cant do anything?

Your friend may have been ripped off then, **** me if I am going to pay for a faulty turbo because I fitted lower suspension while my car is in warranty...Vinnige Fanie wrote:Also voids warranty cant fit coilies to them, my friend lost his warranty on his Vivo by doing this.1.9TurboVw wrote:Low and slow I'd saykili1 wrote:Ok thanks everyone .

I also told him to fight it but some issues with a cv joint came from the car being lowered and they said he voided his warranty, He sold the car now and bought a stock one.

Re: Help boost kw New polo
I didn't when I fitted 17" Mags, Eibach springs and Angel Eye headlights, Still had the turbo recall done by VW after all that.Vinnige Fanie wrote:Also voids warranty cant fit coilies to them, my friend lost his warranty on his Vivo by doing this.1.9TurboVw wrote:Low and slow I'd saykili1 wrote:Ok thanks everyone .

I obviously didn't try claim for shocks or a steering rack.

Make it a panty dropper!
Those polo's are good looking cars...
A nice set of wheels, some vw approved springs, and other cosmetics (HID's etc) and you have a winner!
