Polished stainless. looks really good.
Its the full downpipe right to the rear secton, includes one rear box to make it a bolt on.
Very very tempting. I think it will compliment the SW very well. Oh yes and an intake and intercooler.

You can still fit a downpipe.....

Re: Official 6R Polo GTI thread
The pistons were too small for the bore so they changed them to some new pistons, rings n bearings. It was changed as the car consumed too much oil and it had intermittent misfires at high RPM's, lucky that gets logged on the ECU so I didn't need to prove it.
Another friend of mine just dropped piston 3 on the weekend

I'm guessing when they were engineered and designed, they had "driven hard" in mind, they not quite targeted at the 30+ Market.ree1 wrote:Yep hectic, 6000km's on the motor. He drove the car very hard though
But just like all new motors a manufacture produces they will encounter problems.

True, teething problems are part of it i guess. Even the big boys at BMW have problems, so much so they recall over a million cars...

Piston:
The pistons are made from diecast aluminium. A combustion chamber recess with a deflector has been worked into the piston base. This leads to a strong swirling of the intake air and thus to a very good mixture formation. The outlet side of the piston is cooled with a piston cooling system. The jets open at 2.0 bar. The friction of the piston package has been reduced by a graphite coating on the piston skirt and a greater skirt-to-wall clearance of 55 μm. The piston pin diameter has been increased from 17 to 19 mm due to the high ignition pressure.
