Experience with Polo
I have been very happy with my car since beginning. Even though I was very keen on getting rear wheel drive car, and was looking for BMW 1 series of the time. I am happy that for city use and in India I bought a good car to quench my thirst for performance, stability, safety. I decided to keep my car forever, and thats why I started doing simple oil and other filter service at home by myself. I save a lot plus it bring me close to my car every time I hold the 10mm.
Advice for Polo parts
I can give advice on best parts for the Polo TDI which are in some cases better than VW spares which are also from various third parties in different countries. Like in most of Europe including Germany, Mahle is used as one of the most prominent brand for air filter and oil filter, also I use carbon AC filter against the normal ones, which prevent bad odor inside the car.
I have put 205 section tires on the original rim from Falcon which have improved front grip and have reduced under steer at fast corners, also the road noise specially on cemented sections have greatly reduced.
