....

I would wait a few months just to get to know your car before remapping and also to be sure she's running fine. Plus you'll appreciate the difference so much more.

:afro:

Indeed, I'm still getting used to all the power, and the fact that people seem to want to race me off the lights and at roundabouts everywhere I go!

Modifying is definitely an area I'm reluctant to get into as I know I'll end up spending all my time and money on it. In addition this car is my only way of getting to work so if it starts becoming unreliable etc. then there's big problems!

Providing you make sure you only use reputable companies who specialise in VAG products, you wont have any probs regarding reliability.

Remap it now, or you can wait like i did for 2 years before making the move on the well Known "slippery slope" :smiley:

BTW, like your cool carbon grille surround - got any better pics of it (of point me to a thread).  :smiley:

Congrats dude, I bought one 6 days ago and effing love it!
Im still trying to get used to making smooth gear changes though, im not used to the power!!!

I plan on keeping mine pretty much standard too although I really fancy sorting some sort of mp3 connectivity out!
How much did you get it for?

So I bought a new Polo TDI in 07 as it was cheap to run, tax, insure etc.

Fast forward 2 and a bit years and I was so bored with it!

So I bought this and I couldn't be happier!
