I'm with you on that one my cluster still irritates me , but the radio functions is purely software as the wiring is the same, just features are left out , also esc usually needs to have a deactivation for conditions where some slip is needed , this was the first car that never let me deactivate the system , the basic way was remove the fuse but you can't due to not knowing what to remove.

I had a very rare troublesome MK5 GTI DSG, when the ECU decided to say bye which costed me R21K @ lindsay saker Rivonia. i opted for something more reliable but did not want to lose the power, haveing a N/A is boring exept if you have a honda civic V-tec. So that was no option. As i travel 140km to work and back everyday i needed something that could handle this amount of traveling. After the test drive in the polo 6c 1.2tsi i was toatally won over by how the engine reacts to input. Its responsive and has decent pull. I have then purchased a candy white polo 6c comfortline. I have done some mods: gloss black WRC VW roof spoiler, Jabba LED interior light package, CREE LED fog lights & Canbus parks. This toatally transformed the polo. I will post some photos later. I have also installed A JBL Audio system JBL 609C 6.5inch front splits and a GT 604A 4channel amp and the 1204BR JBL Box sub. I am very impressed with the quality and volume om the JBL system. Next is the 25m drop GTI springs which i will install once it goes for its 15000km service. I only have one problem with the polo tsi, the suspension cant handle fast reload any bump in the road feels as if the suspension is botteming out. I hope the 25mm dropped springs will make damping better? I have 17inch rims attached. Peeps with the 25mm dropped springs do they improve the damping & body roll?
