Re: Official 6R Polo GTI thread
Hi Guys
I'm looking at purchasing a 2013-2015 1.4 Polo GTI
I've done some research and seen that the earlier models had a lot of issues.Have these issues been rectified with the later models ?
Thanks

Re: Official 6R Polo GTI thread
The later models were still plagued with gearbox problems. But with the 6R's it was a lucky packet draw as some people had issues and some did not.Yoosuf wrote:Hi Guys

Re: Official 6R Polo GTI thread
Sup bro...
I did, Kamz did sort it out. But i think its the clamp thats damaged.
Il have to go to vw and order 1. Need to sort it out this week. Its realllllllly heavy on fuel.
Next best bet if it still does it with the new clamp, im going to get someone to weld the DP and exahust together.

Re: Official 6R Polo GTI thread
definitely no quick fix for that. Mech Unit issues, VW will need to diagnose and possibly replace

could be a number of things :

mega tronics
my one buddy sent his car in about 5/6 times for this issue and eventually traded it in for the for the new 6C Gti

Re: Official 6R Polo GTI thread
Howzit guys
The gearbox on my car acted up as well. I pulled out of my drive way one day and all was fine, the moment I switched off and on again the gearbox locked completely. The car did not want to move no matter what gear i selected. Had to get a flatbed truck to come in and use "dolley wheels" to take the car to VW.
Sent it to VW and all they done was a software update/ DSG calibration on the gearbox.
The car was fine since that incident happened, however now there is a slight shudder on a low gear.
Just a question, if the car is out of warranty, are there any RMI approved workshops that fix the mechatronics on these gearboxes?
Cheers!

Re: Official 6R Polo GTI thread
Sup Guys, so checked on my car, the gearbox pump is throwing out dsg oil. Waiting for a call from the warranty company to check if they would pay for the work that needs to be done.
Phat01 give Fr&r a call, they RMI approved.

Hi Guys
Did anyone fit 205/40/17 tyres on the oem 17 detroit rims.
its a smaller tyres than the 215/45/17 is it safe to drive with.
reason is that i do not know so much a but stretch tyres.
and a bit skeptical. but tyres prices on 215/45/17 is madness compared to 3years ago
when i changed 2 tyres

Re: Official 6R Polo GTI thread
Thanks Tander..
But are'nt they 132Fkw motors?
So i guess with Dp only, it should mak about 140wkw. guess that will do for now.
Will do Cooler, and Intake next year. Just bought a Chev Ute for everyday use, so cash is lil low now.
