VW POLO 1.9 TDI

[ILoveCorners]

First let me start by saying something. This car is fast, not just fast but the way the owner remapped it and did various modifications. This car is mind blowing fast, its dangerously fast. Yes going from a vw golf 1.4 to this big/small Vw polo does add to the factor but when you put your foot down and those turbos kick in that's proper German power.

The car is on coilovers, and has been smoothed in various places. It came with BBS alloys painted in black and green surrounding to match the cars colour. Other mods include anti roll bar, ecu chip, intercoller,air filter and other things which I will add if anyone is interested. The car is very much a sleeper. But an expensive sleeper. (The bbs wheels give the speed away I guess).

I got it with only 76k on the mileage and as you know vw diesel engines, in particular the pd engines can last forever. He did p/x my Vw Golf and I did pass him a bit of money.

The car is astonishing on fuel, when I was driving back from cambrige I managed 76.5mpg which is amazing. Compared to the golf which was s**** on fuel.


Hope you guys enjoy the pics and if you see a vw polo with ph stickers on it make sure you honk.

Traction is crap, i do have to drive slow in 1st and 2nd as it just spins. The car has been to santa pod as stated by the previous owner and has beaten alot of top marques (shown to me by video). The main reason was I needed a diesel and these cars on motorways average 77mpg, and it being small meant low insurance, the difference being 200quid. 179 BHP AND 242 IBFT.

You lot may take the mick but the way it takes corners is epic. I woke up at 3 am just to drive on country roads and just want to do that everyday. Its tuned not to much but in a way which is enjoyable. The ride is very harsh but i`ll get used to that.




New exhaust being put in

Yes, I had to pay an extra 250 due to the coilovers and engine mods

Other than adding the exhaust and fixing the condensation in the headlights. I have to fix the central locking and improve security a bit. PH smiley comes next week so cant wait to stick that on. Few scratches on the rear bumper, thinking of taking the back seats off all together and do a mini gp kind of thing. All in all its ready for meets and summer!

the previous owner said it was a guy who specialises in ecu chips for vw diesels in Leicester. It has not been remapped as far as I know. Ill check the paper work later on and let you know as the folder is huge. Ill take a picture and show you the mpg, im only saying 77mpg based on what it tells me.

took the left side fog light out yesterday so more air could flow intro the inter cooler and pics of the new exhaust which look subtle.

[ILoveCorners]

Light out = more air







New Exhaust

i do agree

Im 18 years old, not a 50 year old sap. When I do get to that age where my belly hangs over my belt maybe I will calm down. But you know how it is when a adolescent teen is driving a 1.9. Its hard not to calm down.

Its got brembo pads back and front Cant have that power and no stopping. Can you walk me through spacers? Im sure if I do get spacers it would rub against the wheel arches?

[ILoveCorners]

The car at the moment is very low meaning I have to drive 1mph over bumps. Its 50mm low, if I do get it even lower it would make it undrivable over bumps. The look I would like would be like a beach kind of car, add a roof rack with a surf board/bike and adjust the dampers a bit.




Clean look



roof rack is yummy here



And here

wow those steel alloys would look good, any idea where I can get them from? In black preferably?

[ILoveCorners]

TheBurgerKing Thanks, I do love it if only I could feed it milk and cookies every night...

[ILoveCorners]

Those reminded me of an episode of might car mods. The black steelies look really good. And yes I watch mcm more critism headed my way...

[ILoveCorners]

got it but will be posting final pics when my smiley comes through the post!

Its the power to weight ratio which is impressive. The back seats where removed today as I don`t need them aswell as the space saver. The power in the car is perfect and the handling is spot on. Its time to shed weight. Any one know how I can control the tire spinning in gear 1 and 2 as a little press on the gas it spins. As a result of this I have to set of really slow.
