SteveP's New Daily / Project No. 2

[Hurdy]

Lovely car Steve....and in the right colour too 

Nice and light too at around 1200kg with a full tank of 99ron.

You like what I do about the car too. That supercharger makes all the difference for the set-off in comparison to a turbo. I also agree that it needs a little more oomph up top too.

Can't wait for mine to land in blighty.

Steve is the polo not same has the A3 dash? on the A3 you can change the functionality of the highline from full DIS to low and it will only give you so much info a bit like the midline with just the MPG and so on?????

Darren

The dash appears to be closer to the Mk6 rather than the A3, but you can access multiple stats (mpg, oil temp, range, digital speed, etc) from the default menu and by holding the up selection button for 2 seconds you get to a selection screen to go into the Vehicle status, MFD or setup screens, so to me it's still highline

Certainly is I think with the mk6 gti wheel you should be able to make use of the buttons and extra menu's? Very nice though Steve, there's a CW one down at the local dealer and every time I go in I'm drawn straight to it

Thing is my wife has turned round and now said she wants a car that I don't have to modify and give me the go head for a mk6 GTI/GTD but not till next year so I don't know which way to go Polo or Golf????

That can only go wrong Darren 
Does she believe that herself?? 
I'll say within 6 month of ownership you'd have taken it apart at least one time 

[SteveP]

Well it's begun 

Had the car in bits this afternoon, end result is a shiny set of gloss black R multi function buttons 



Tomorrow some more mods are planned involving a trip to Daventry 

[Dave63]

Very nice!

[Eddie-NL]

looking good, should have come with the buttons from the factory as standard

True, but a £55 set of buttons from eBay.de is far better than the £255 VW charge for it as a factory order 

As the car already has DSG paddle as standard it's a very easy thing to do

I know its a better buy for you to do it. I mean VW should have put the buttons as standard on the car, not offer them at £255.
After all the skoda has them and it is nearly £3k cheaper

your R piano black buttons look good and suit the car nicely

[Deako]

Looks great Steve. I get 10% discount on the options for my car through work, so the wheel has worked out to £180. However, i am tempted to change my order and get some controls separately instead. But on the grand scheme of things, it might not change much. And i still need to get someone to code it properly afterwards, not having VCDS myself.

[SteveP]

No coding required 

[Deako]

Ooh, thats good.

[rich83]

Daventry... hmm... now let me think! 

[Deako]

So how is it then Steve? 

Did you change the plugs while you were there as well? If so, which ones?
