What year and variant of 1.6 is it?  i.e. which engine code?  I've tuned our 1.4 Polo and it was definitely worth doing.

Pretty pointless wasting money on the engine tbh, your best bet is to give it a good service to make sure its running ok. If your really bothered about making it quicker then strip out any unwanted weight, much cheaper and easier than trying to gain power :wink:

No point at all in trying to make it quicker.

Yeah on a 1997 I gotta agree.  Just enjoy it until you can afford to insure something quicker mate.
