Howsit guys, does anyone know what lip is on this polo? part number?

It's not an OEM part, here http://www.magnatuning.ro/en/product/12 ... -Extension

We can try and get better pricing from Alibaba if we buy in bulk

Only a matter of time before they start making Helios Reps in 4x100.
That's if they have not started making them already.
Then all the "Mk1" Golfs will be rolling with them.

Personally I think 19's on a Polo 6R is overkill.

I'm game, and I got another friend also, so if we can get numbers, and a price that would be cool...

Hi Guys
a friend of mine has a 6r polo1.4 comfort, his OEM radio died so he took it to VW to get it fixed.
its been there over two weeks now, today he gets a call that the radio cannot be fixed and the car is still under warranty but the warranty cannot cover for the new radio... on top of that they want R800 for storage... is it possible that the warranty can decline to cover new radio>?

Yes- Read the policy wording....... IIRC, our Polo's only come out with a 1 year warranty on the radio.

Has anyone had their 15 000km service yet?
Taking mine in next week Friday.
Just wanted to get an idea of the cost, and what gets done?

Mine was done before I bought the car. I think it is around R1500 at the most.

Count me in

I haven't done the 15k service, but I did get an oil and filter change done after 2k km's run in (cos I felt like it

)

That cost R600... 15k service should be oil and filters, between R1200 and R1800 I think, different stealers have different prices... Check their websites for service specials.

I too would like the polo lip shown above

nazmo · Post by **nazmo** » Thu Jan 10, 2013 12:13 pm

Lets see how many people we can get for that LIP. maybe get some special of sorts.

Yeah, need a big special, around R2300 excluding import fees is too much for a lip

Jelly-tot · Post by **Jelly-tot** » Thu Jan 10, 2013 1:16 pm

Hi, I paid 1200 for my 15000 km service and 1800 for the 30k one. Oh and before I forget I ordered my springs on Monday and was promised delivery tomorrow but now got no money for installation. Will wait for pay day though.

DarthJB · Post by **DarthJB** » Thu Jan 10, 2013 1:22 pm

How much did they quote you for installation if you don't mind me asking? I was told R2500!

Jelly-tot · Post by **Jelly-tot** » Thu Jan 10, 2013 1:28 pm

Given the comments on this here forum, I never bothered to ask to save my you know what....and baby oil.

nazmo · Post by **nazmo** » Thu Jan 10, 2013 1:31 pm

VW charged 2 hours labour to fit springs in kenilworth, cape town. About R1300 or something

DarthJB · Post by **DarthJB** » Thu Jan 10, 2013 1:42 pm

and there's the huge price discrepancy between stealerships...

Mitch · Post by **Mitch** » Thu Jan 10, 2013 1:48 pm

I was quoted around R2600 in Durban at Weiss Stamford Hill. So at R4300 for the Eibach's including fitment, I am rather going to put in a little extra and get coillies. A friend just bought a new 6R similar to mine. He got silver with red leather and pano roof. Had VW fit the EIbachs and he has a 17inch Helios rep. The car looks nice with that wheel, but the drop is barely noticeable.

I am saving to get VMaxx height adjustables. Called a place in PMB for a price. They R4500 excl fitment. Sets that are damper adjustable or R7500.

Im worried that if I get springs I am going to want more low...so rather have options to adjust.

DarthJB · Post by **DarthJB** » Thu Jan 10, 2013 2:06 pm

I also got quoted by Weiss, but in toti. R1300 fitment i could do though...
Won't coilies void the warranty? I don't want to void mine as I plan to extend it since I do high mileage...probably going to need wheel bearings at some point thanks to the roads.

With springs at R1800 + R1300 labour = R3100 + warranty it seems ok, but if voiding, i'd go with H&R springs for about R2400 + supa quik labour R600 = R3000.

Not that I can find stock of the rims I want anyway

What wheels do you want?

DarthJB · Post by **DarthJB** » Thu Jan 10, 2013 2:14 pm

One of the Lenso Project D rims (PD5), that haven't been in stock at dealers for over a year apparently... Checked with autostyle, A1 wheel and tyre, hannaford, etc

All the VW's I called said the warranty is gone even if you fit VW springs at VW. Idiots. Why sell the springs in the first place. If I have a major issues with suspension and send the car for a possible warranty thing, I will have Volksie do a swop before sending the car to VW.

This one...

DarthJB · Post by **DarthJB** » Thu Jan 10, 2013 2:23 pm

Eish. Weiss toti told me that the warranty will be intact, IF they fit the springs...

Yup, that's the rim Dookie, there's also a gunmetal version, which I wanted, but I would even take that black one and get it resprayed
