Had this beast for 8yrs and what an epic machine. Replaced this with a Virtus GT and I must say it doesn't feel like a monster grunting under your seat.
For how much you sold the car??
I own 1.6 Vento 2013, i love the sweet turbo pull. Great fun on highways ❤️
Be careful, ex vento owner of the same model. 1.6 high line. On highways the car feels unstable. It feels bouncy on slightly bad roads
@@hrisikeshbhattacharya5467 bro vento feels very stable at high speeds… maybe just maybe you might had an alignment issue or one of front suspension bar could’ve gotten weak because those are the 2 very common problems in polo/vento
@@hrisikeshbhattacharya5467 Go change your suspension parts
@@hrisikeshbhattacharya5467 change your tires & suspension pls
@@yashharmalkar5929 Bro I own Rapid 1.6 tdi and done 65k kms how to check the suspension and shock absorber it is good or not
1.6 tdi is gem of a engine. That engine purely gave justice to the polo.
What's should I go for considering 2023 1.6 or 1.5
@@aniketkedar2986 1.6. I bought one yesterday. Instant adrenaline rush when that turbo kicks in😍
Got the VW Polo 1.6tdi 90SEL with just 34,000 From 2012 and it does PULL like crazy for such a small little Diesel. Cannot wait to start Modifying it, Starting with Coil-Overs, Re-Map and the Polo R body kit, THEN i will sort out the stereo/Speakers.
i get exicted by seeing old cars but i realize i live in delhi.
I’ve a 1.5 tdi with stage 2 tune from ICD tuning. It rips and fast Af. The car build perse isn’t costly as you’ve stated but the maintenance goes above your head once the odo touches 1L kms. Still the best fun to drive proper hot hatch for ripping the city
maintenance like? approx expense for a pre owned car to make it run good?
@@captainjacksparrow1 it depends on the condition of the car. The annual maintenance would be up to 15-17k. Once it crosses 60k in odo you’ve to mostly change suspension depending on the driving style and the road conditions and majority of the service depends on the city road conditions. Most of the spares from the dealers are priced obnoxiously high.
@@hariharasudhan907 would you recommend a polo 1.5/1.6 tdi or a laura 2.0 manual.
If you’re in a city with narrow roads by all means go for Polo, if you’re in a big city with wide roads then Laura and at this time importing parts for Laura would be bit difficult I suppose as compared to polo. If you’re interested in 2.0 Tdi with bit more budget go for Passat.
@@hariharasudhan907 I'm in a big city. Aren't parts locally available for laura? If so, the best car under 5L according to you?
I've got 27 km/l ,this is calculated average. The mid was showing 32 💀😂
Same here on stage 3... But put you leg on the pedel.. it goes to 12-15 kmpl 😅
A friend of mine has this and I have driven it a lot. The most fun I have had in a hatchback.
If you get to own a car like this, DONT TUNE IT RIGHTAWAY! There's a lot to play around with the car other than its engine. What I'd suggest doing is get all the electrical upgrades such as BCM, headunit, cluster, steering, electric side mirrors, parking sensors, rear camera. And other mechanical upgrades such as better 256mm brakes, suspension and finally a nice short shifter with ball bearing for that rubbery shifting you mentioned. Bring the car to current trend and then explore the car. After 2-3 years when you get bored with the stock power, go for the tune. This would be financially relieving and a chance to experience the car.
Very good video! Certainly miss the older engines, but it looks like there were some some apparent issues
Bro i drive a vento 1.6 tdi with a stage 2+ tune , i only changed a downpipe and it's already producing 367nm of torque and somewhere around 150ish hp ....
That thing is a monster!!!!
CR140 around 25k (Used) and CR170 can be sourced for 60k+ i suppose.. + a remap around 35k and the best option for downpipe is just open the cat and remove the cat.. it would look OEM in front of the people 3k for the whole job and get it even cheaper....and wolaa... A 150+ bhp with 380nm on the wheels...
Mine is 9years old still engine feels new.
Can you guys explain about different stages of tuning and the upgrades needed for each one of them? Something like a noob to pro series for young car enthusiasts?
For stage 1 you just need an remap and an performance air filter, for stage 2 you need stage 2 ecu remap (tcu as well if have an automatic) an free flow exhaust, spark plugs, custom downpipe and upgraded brakes…. In stage 3 you need to have everything mentioned above with a stage 3 ecu,tcu remap, cold air intake,upgraded turbo ,blow off valves and probably coil-overs to improve handling
@@yashharmalkar5929 I think upgraded spark plugs, ignition coils, fuel injectors and stuff will be required in stage 3 right?
@@jethalalgada5 jetha ji got swag, Babita Ji's gonna be impressed 😏
@@rudrranshs6620 She already is😉
@@jethalalgada5 aish 😂😏😏
The 1.6Tdi was a gem
thanks for the video 👍
please suggest where can I tune my polo 1.6 in Bangalore
2014 Polo gt tdi 1.6
55000 kms
Rs. 3.5 lakhs
Should I go for it??
Bro u purchased it?
I'm confused between Laura and polo so what should I pick up
I’ve been owning polo since 2011… i had 2011 polo tdi…it didn’t have a powerful engine but it was really fun to drive…then in 2019 i sold it and bought polo gt tsi its an heck of a car its just so much fun to drive car even the engine feels super punchy…..but when it comes to laura I cant deny that laura is any day faster than the polo but trust me on this if you want fun to drive car with good performance just go for the polo blindly… because u can’t really feel the power in laura due to many factors laura is good if you are going for a project car because then you will change the suspension too.
Fun fact : Ford Figo diesel was faster than any GT TDI ever sold in stock form
💯😌
But it never felt as punchy as 1.6 tdi
But not faster than 1.0 tsi baby
Stock 1.5 tdci was a sohc engine while 1.5/1.6 tdi was a dohc , so it got out of breath in the top end. 0-100 definitely better than the tdi because of PTW .
In 0-100 yes. But beyond that, the 1.5 GT TDI or the 1.6 TDI would outperform the Figo 1.5 diesel.
1.5 tdi when asks for money, it really goes deep into the pockets. Injector issues are very common and stressful
After a a lakh km actually... I mean wear and tear is common.. so... Can't complaint..
@@christyrajie this engine issues were apparent before 1lakh kms and there are quite a lot of engines without that issue at 1 lakh
Use Liqui Molly diesel additive every 3000-4000 km, no injector problems to me on this same 1.6 tdi.
Can i swap vento 1.6tdi engine to my polo 1.2 tdi , what will be the necessary changes if it is possible , like is the gearbox same for both the cars
I think I'm going to get a polo gt tsi as my first car
Totally worth it bro✨💪
They say the dsg problem has been solved after 2015 models. Is it?
@@abhishekrathore2586 probably yes because we have 6 polo’s in my friend circle but none of them faced any problems regarding dsg … mine is 3 years old
Stage-3 specs?
What about suspension and brake upgrade after tuning?
Hey I am owning a VW Polo GT TDI 1.6 2013 model and I want to know any garage competent enough to do stage 3 top up in BENGALURU. Based on my experience of owning this car first hand in Bengaluru, the VW mechanics or some local mechanics...they failed to understand the car so far! Help me out with some good referrals!!
I have one with me 175000 km run. Perfect condition with Petes stage 1 and K&N filter. Like to turbo upgrade and compatible tuning. Pls suggest, CR 140 or CR 177 is better. And it’s difference basically
Go for 177
@@og_gtd don't spoil other GTs bro 🥹
Actual 1.6 push the seat back. Can feel the Torque under the pedal.
Bro, Hyundai i20's are not cheap to maintain. It will go around 10-15k for a showroom service! Nowadays Hyundai's are very expensive to maintain...
wait, I have a 2020 Verna 1.6D and none of my service was above 9k even after opting for synthetic engine oil. Idk how are you claiming these numbers.
@@d_techterminal Maybe, the dealer will include their charge too. It will depends on the dealership. Not a silly amount for a hatchback owner. My car is 7 yr old!
@@aravindbhuvan4266 my car has done 61k kms and I've had muliple servicing of my car. I purchased my car in March 2020
@@d_techterminal okay bro, maybe our dealership will charge their share more than your dealership.
Anyway, All the Best and keep your car good.
1.6 gt tdi 2012 run 84k kilo meter. Should I buy 1.40 lakh?
Can you share me the owner number
Can you guys suggest if I can tune 1.0 tsi manual for a stage 2 set up ? Will it sustain ?
U definitely can tune 1.0tsi to stage 2 it will handle the power pretty easily … 1.0 tsi is much powerful engine than the 1.2 tsi .. many people have tuned it to stage 3 as well producing about 200 bhp
Where can i buy polo 1.6 tdi its no where available not even on olx if u have any contact for polo 1.6 tdi please reply on this comment

Ameo 1.5 diesel is better
comment for the algorithym ;)
⚡⚡⚡⚡
🔥🔥
what no one talks about is the horrible driving posture of the polo's, I rather have a creamy comfortable 1.6crdi
Id doesn’t feel horrible by any means.. what are u talking about in fact polo’s feel easily more fun to drive than any hyundai… (except for hyundai’s proper performance models)
Reliability is the Biggest Issue in this Car. I have this car.
Vw diesel engines are reliable
Lol, running it since 2012 Rapid TDI, fcking reliable still.
I kind of agree with Lucky here. While I personally know some 1.6TDIs with 3 lakh kms, many of the 1.6TDIs face injector, fuel pump and even turbo issues.
@@anirudhnaagi true Mine Got 1 lakh Kms and from the last 50k's kms i've faced two injector issues & needs replacement costed me 60k and made hole in my pocket 💯
I also have a remapped GT TDI 1.6 which has covered 1.2 lakh kms. High Pressure Fuel Pump started leaking at 90k kms, and the turbo became weak post 1 lac kms. The thing is, when the 1.6 TDI works properly, it is sooo much fun that we dont mind spending so much on maintanence.
1.5 tdi is also gud
