Is tuning your Polo worth it? 

Lol thanks bro 🙏🏽 not making it fast to win any races, just making it more fun to drive

@@nicowalters Best 👍🏼🍻...I have the same car in tiptronic...Gonna do a backbox delete soon when I get a chance

Its gonna sound good bro

Yes thats ittttt

what if part of my enjoyment of the car is it being fast???

Thanks for the kind words!

Does that include the polo 1.9 TDI?

@@mhlengindlovu8450 Yes, TDI you can tune and mostly gain torque. Go for a low smoke tune.

Awesome bro. Mines a 1.4 trendline. I still need to get a better intake. Im not looking to win any races, just a fun daily 😂

How much difference did it make?

@@joeyoung7600 When you upgrade the exhuast manifold and the rear silencer a 1.4 polo vivo the car will feel as strong as a 1.6 polo vivo and any cold air intake upgrade does nothing to its performance only sound!!

Hey bro, send me a message on Instagram and I'll take a picture of what the armrest looks like at the moment. It still looks brand new

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Thanks bro 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Howsit man, yes I wish I got a bit more as well, but I guess its just not possible to do so safely on these motors 😂 The dumping sounds and all that is only there when I want it to be vs pops and bangs that are always there on deceleration (or whenever they're supposed to be there) they're also literally pops which would annoy the hell out of me. The "burble" as the guy from TDC calls it sounds good and isn't there if I drive normally. So im pretty happy with how it sounds I have not driven the car normally since it was tuned to see what the economy looks like (as you can imagine I've been beating on it this whole week, so the figures would not be an accurate reflection) I would love to get a TSI but I doubt I'll be getting another polo unless its a GTI - but thats a story for another day Thank you for your comment and for watching the video, I truly appreciate it 🙏🏽

What area you from... Where can I see the car?

I'm from gordons bay, you are welcome to give me a follow on Instagram or on Facebook, I often share stuff there about what events I'll be going to

Thanks for this comment Wayne. I was wondering about the fuel consumption. I saw a 320i with pops and bangs this past weekend. Also noticed he was overfueling while pop and banging. Smoke was swirling out of his exhaust. How did you deactivate it. Take it to the tuners or did it yourself?

Thanks Mogamat🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Nice one bru, what are the power figures?

Those move bro!

The 2.0 tdi moves even more!

Thanks bro, I appreciate it

Hi there thanks for your comment. Im running software from TDC performance. The car revs past 5k rpm now and does not feel like it falls on its face anymore. However the motor itself stops making any power after 5.5k so thats when it feels like it doesn't accelerate anymore. I only have a branch and a powerflow exhaust. I still need to add a intake, so I'll check your video out. Exhaust was 2600, branch was 3500 and software was 2500 I hope this helps

Thank you very much. This is going to help a lot

Yo buddy, thanks for this comment. I appreciate it 🙌🏽🙌🏽 so the car used to feel alot quicker than what it was, but I think I just got used to the extra bit of power and now it just feels normal again 😂 but you can really feel a difference on the road when you are trying to speed up to overtake someone or take a gap or whatever. The power is always there and it doesn't take an hour to get up to speed anymore. Where you see the real difference is in the fuel consumption, the car has really impressed me with how light it is on fuel. I think the most I got out of a tank was 930km which is a lot considering I used to get about 700km from a tank when the car was completely stock. So if you're wondering if it's worth it then I'd say yes, but not for the extra power, but for better fuel economy 👍🏽

@@nicowalters thanks Nico . Appreciate the feedback .

I like your rims what are they ?

I like your mags what are they ?

@williammngomezulu6605 16 inch high line rims from a polo tsi

True that!

Go for it homie

Thanks homie, I appreciate it 🙏🏽im trying to change it up a bit

Thanks bud, it's a 50mm free flow system from powerflow

They flashed the stock ecu bro

So even if you don't have a turbo you can. Still get those pop

True bro

😂😂 thank you Casey 🙌🏽🙌🏽

Dankie bro

Thanks homie

Shot homie 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Hey man, I hope you are well. We had to cut holes in my bumper as well. Its a stock bumper and we had to cut holes in the covers as well. What I can suggest is that you check Facebook market place for a new set of lights with covers and then install that. Hopefully that helps?

Thanks bud

How’s it buddy. They used to be in Killarney Gardens but I heard that they’ve closed down permanently. Not sure how true that is

@@nicowalters Aaaahhh I see , do you know any other places that you’ll recommend for tuning for pops and bangs ?

@@j.jackson7 Mosports Performance is a good company to try. I know they tune a lot of diesel cars but you should contact them to find out if they can assist you bro. They’re located somewhere in Cape Town, not exactly sure of their location but you can google them

@@nicowalters Thanks alot bro , i’ll check that out

Danko🙏🏽

Howsit bud, thanks for the kind words. I have a 50mm powerflow and 4-2-1 viper branch from powerflow as well and then I did the tune as well, that's basically it 😂

nice bro.. I also have a polo vivo 1.4 wouldn't mind that sound 😅... sounds great must say 👍... estimation on the cost from all that if u don't mind me asking lol

Uhm it was 3500 for the branch and I'd say 3500 for the exhaust as well

I think that would be a bit extreme for the motor lol😂😂

Shup shup

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

That's awesome bro

Yo buddy, I hope you are well. Sorry for the delayed response. Thanks for the compliment man. Yes dude, go for the exhaust and branch and then try to do an intake and tune, it’ll change how the car performs and will increase the efficiency (the increase in efficiency is what I’ve experienced but it might be different for you depending on how heavy your foot is)

​@nicowalters shot for the response bro. I'm from WC where would you recommend am Intake and tune? I'll be going going powerflow salt River as soon as the new year starts to start the year off with a bang 👌

I’m not sure where you could get the software done now because the place I went to closed down. Try Mosports? I think that’s what they’re called. I know they do mostly BMW’s but maybe they’ll be able to assist

Howsit, mine is the old vivo before the face-lift, I just did the face-lift headlights, grill and mirrors. Mine came with 55kw

@@nicowalters okay but you can look it up the old ones are 63kw and the facelift models are 55kw

They come with different ecus, trendlines come with 55kw and comfortlines come with 63kw. Research it bro

Mine is a trendline, therefore it came with 55kw

Ooh Okay that explains it

True bro

In my experience it’s actually helped my car. It’s been running beautifully and is extremely fuel efficient and reliable

Howsit bro. It’s a normal polo Vivo bumper, the number plate was just flushed. The headlights can be found at any spares shop 🙌

Thanks homie

Howsit bro, the car is still going strong. Absolutely 0 issues. I’ve done about 70k km’s after the tune and it hasn’t missed a beat. I’m very happy with it 👌

That's awesome, great to hear.

I'm down Bru 😂😂 what do you have?

Yo man, I have the face-lift polo vivo headlights in and I got them from Rosbys spares in Strand. They had Led bulbs in but I put the factory bulbs back in

Yes it’s a manual

Yo bro, I got it from a buddy of mine. You can check scrap yards

Thanks homie, my entire exhaust system is from powerflow

❤❤❤

Howsit. You just ask the person tuning your car to add

The response was a bit better, but it's totally worth it

Thanks homie, it was 2499 but contact TDC for their latest pricing

Yo bud, it's a 50mm free flow from powerflow

Yo man, I bought it from a friend. It's from a polo GT, polo gts and polo 9n gti

Hi, yes you can do everything I've done and it will sound the same or even better. I tuned my car at TDC Performance

Howsit bro, check autostyling klerksdorps website. If you don't find it there then check max motorsports website. And as a last resort you can check Facebook market place

🙏🏽🙏🏽

Hi bud, from TDC performance

Howsit buddy, I just got the face-lift headlights and center grille. You cns get these from your nearest spares

Hi there, its from Powerflow

Hi there Marvin, so you need to get your car decatted, so for this you can either let them decat it or fit a branch (it removes the cat on certain cars, like mine). Then you need to get the software done for it

@@nicowalters okay cool. I've got a polo tsi, did the decat and removed the resonator. So r u saying I need stage 1 software to get pops and bangs?

You should contact people who do software in your area and they would be able to advise better. I think you should be good to go for pops and bangs now

TDC performance but they are closed permanently

You can check revo and other places as well

Thanks homie. I didnt see any change in petrol consumption when I put the exhaust on and the car is lighter on fuel on the long road with the branch added. The tune is supposed to make the car more efficient, so I'll see if thats true, but ill only be able to give you an honest answer over a longer period of time 👍🏽 Also remember that if you drive the car hard its going to use more fuel than normal

Hey man, any update on fuel consumption? For normal city driving and also long open road? Have 1.6 tiptronic and been wondering about exhaust/branch/tuning. Not worried about noise or tons of power. Fuel economy and responsive feel is important to me.

@stefanmarais83 hi buddy, the best I’ve gotten so far is 950 out of a tank with mixed driving. I’m sure I can get it closer to 980kms, I just need to be on the open road long enough

How's it bud, yes it's n/a so the gains were not that great but it's still better than stock It was 2499

@@nicowalters R2499 is not bad at all for all the enjoyment popping down the road

Lol the motor won't last very long

Standard VW Polo Vivo 1.4i 16v CLP engine

Howsit bro, this is my first tune ever. I've been driving the car with the branch on for almost a year. As far as I know, you dont need a tune just for a decat. Just put the o2 sensor where it needs to go and you should be fine

@@nicowalters ok awesome I got a golf 1 4 tsi I did a downpipe and put in a cat fooler for the o2 sensor but It feels like it's running a bit lean

You can get it tuned. It should give you nice gains

Hi bud, it was a flash tune and the exhaust is a 50mm free flow exhaust from powerflow. I also have a 4-2-1 branch from powerflow

Yes it Can bro

Howsit, if you are from the western cape, Google TDC performance and ask them what packages they offer for your car, they would be able to give you the best advice

@@nicowalters thanks Bro

50mm free flow from powerflow

2500 bro

Howsit buddy, exhaust is from power flow in strand and branch is from power flow in bellville 🙏

How much for the power flow fam?​@nicowalters

Yo bro, 3500 for the exhaust, I think 3500 for the branch and 900 for the exhaust tips if I remember correctly

Hi there, no we are not a car club. We are just a group of friends who were at school together

Has straight pipe and cold air intake...

Yo bud, I'm sure they can but it would be better to contact them to hear what they offer for your car

@@nicowalters okay thanx❤

Yo bud, 2500

50mm free flow exhaust from powerflow

Howsit. It’s a 16 inch rim from a Polo tsi Beats. You can also find them on Polo TSI Highlines

@@nicowalters aweh thanks bru

Howsit bud. Yes you can. It's only there when I want it to be. I forget about it sometimes

​​@@nicowalterscould you please explain how can you explain how can you control. the pops, it's nice man🔥🔥👍

Yo brother. Search TDC on google. I’m not sure if he’s still at that place or if he relocated

It was 2999 if I remember correctly

@@nicowalters That is reasonable. Thank you

Hi there, TDC is located in Killarney

Just Google them✌🏾

Whats up with yours bro?

@@nicowalters I have a 1.2TDI Bluemotion polo... Took it there and had to go back 3times...months later not sorted 😔

Yoh thats a crap one bro. Im sorry to hear

Thanks homie!
