Yeah, would have liked one in white but the deal on this car was good so yeah.

I initially wanted a red one...BUT dealers were no longer bringing in new 6R models as they were phasing it out to make with for the 6C Tsi versions. And i did not want a tsi, so settled on the one i have now.

I tried holding the buttons on the indicator stalk, but nothing happens.

Want to change the fuel consumption to km/l.

It is currently set to l/100km.

Why wouldn't u want a TSI? I traded my 6r for the 6c and it's the best thing I could've done.. The 6c is way more car than the 6r

I'm not sure...my mom has a A1 TFSi no problems, my dad has a MK6 Jetta 1.4tsi, no issues.

But i've seen a few posts on FB go viral with guys having issues with their TSI 6C's. Along the lines of engine/waterpump/radiator failure etc. And some other issues.

Ja i've seen one post of a guy's white one on a flat bed, apparently he's been battling with Barons for 6 months or something. Asking because the so is in love with the tsi and wants to get one after her 6r.

zain_c · Post by **zain_c** » Mon Jul 06, 2015 11:17 am

ya, saw that post too.

All guys I've personally met with 6C's haven't experienced any problems yet, the cases I've mentioned is just what I've read so don't take my word for it.

zane.mk1 · Post by **zane.mk1** » Mon Jul 06, 2015 2:17 pm

Need some help:

I am wanting to change the headlights, parks, brights & spots to white xenon or H.I.D.

Do you guys prefer H.I.D kit or will the phillips blue vision be suff?

Also can I just change the number plate lights with led bulbs or do I have to fit the canbus units?

I saw yeah, now that I own a 6r that is the only thing I search for now.

Actually looking at diff. wheel options and I think I found a suitable wheel to start off with.

After a week of ownership, the Polo really looks too "stock".

what you have in mind?

For now I am going swop with my Dad's OEM 16" 6r rims, can't remember the wheels name.

Would like a OEM 17" wheel, but have nothing that attract my attention at the moment.

Looking for something to fill the arches nicely and give that "bulky" look.

Talladegas look nice, but seen way to many 6r's rolling with them.

Reluctant on fitting reps. but will see how it plays out.

If I were to fit a rep of a VW wheel, i'd go for Interlagos.

This was the wheel I had in mind, but looked at some pics of them fitted and they did not look too great, or maybe the cars was just too high.

I think there is a oem set on gumtree. 17"
