Great video can I just ask who insured your car ? I have a 1.8t 20v that was mine I’m passing on to my son who as 2 years no clams but is still getting prices of around £2000 any advice would be great 👍
He looks so cool driving lying down. In fact he should swap his car seats for beds. I imagine his drag time would be a second quicker if he could reach the pedals.
Im a van driver, the amount of time I've had to dis people laying down when driving. They feel its cool, but dont notice when they take the bend they way off the lines. Even on a straight lol cant seem to drive in the lane.
That is not the DQ250 mate, the DQ250 is a 6speed wet clutch and the the polo gti 1.8 have the 7speed DQ200 dry clutch and there is a reason why the auto only have 250nm and the manual have 320nm, the DQ200 is only rated to maximum 250nm.
Cool kid and nice car but please don't drive like a plant pot with your seat flat 🤦♂️ putting your self at risk kid, can clearly your struggling driving 😀
@@J4Z666 Arms are supposed to be 35-40 degrees bent so that you have full control when turning the wheel with hands at 10-2. His point was about safety, not comfort.
@@1993j If he was involved in an accident his insurance can refuse to pay out due to lack of control, I think we've all been there thinking it looks cool but in reality you look a wee bit silly 🤣 Nice little gti though
Was already a Calvin fan but I love the man even more after this, the way he didn’t talk down to the young lad and was on his level and encouraging him, might only be a small thing but shows the type of guy Calvin is
The mileage issue could be like what happened with my bike where they accidentally flicked the clocks over to KM when they check dash lights etc, 29k km would be around 18/19k miles
Nice one Calvin & Ben. I appreciate the way you give your time to this aspect for the channel. It's great content and shows real people from a real world, it's the people that make the cars interesting. Sub'd to Ben's channel also, good luck Ben!
You can plug the car into a computer and cross check what the gearbox is saying the millage is as its stored on that separately so they should both match.
Hes a good lad heads screwed on I have the same car 2017 plate in black running around 250bhp 400lbs torque straight piped lovely cars nippy aswell I can do 0-60 in around 5.5-5.7 seconds 👍💯
Awesome Calvin, I've just subscribed to his channel. The young lad had a heart of gold and his mum helped with his steering wheel...you couldn't make that up....lol, that was me 40 years ago .... Am retired now and still love cars ❤️
Seems like a really nice lad and reminded me of me in the early eighties lol Glad you didn’t talk down to him , we’ve all been there at some point in our own personal car journeys Not the sort of thing I usually watch let alone comment on but you both have my utmost respect. ❤❤
You need to use a code reader like the carly code reader as it checks all the control modules which store milage separate to the main ecu. That's the easiest way of checking.
There is a big problem with people taking out low mileage PCH and doing high mileage, then having "mileage correction" carried out. They return them to lease companies with the low mileage, sell at auction, and dealers buy from auction. That seating position though.... questionable
ppl really need to stop laying in the car and driving it... its not cool, you do not look cool, ur not cool with doing that... This lad isnt able to put his hands fully on the steering wheel because he's almost sitting in the trunk of the car. if this car spins out of control, he wont able to recover it.
It is possible to get mileage off the ECUs memory. Yes you can clock it and hide is as much as you want but there is a hard sorted “true” mileage in the ECU itself you can’t adjust, change, or code out. Volkswagen itself can access it or you could yourself with lastest vcds. Hpi checks or whatever will tell you nothing on any car and it’s virtually pointless for that purpose. Always plug into ECU with appropriate software to let you read stored memory
Fancy a stage 1 cupra (280) dsg on the channel? youve had a crazy one with the 4WD conversion and your stock one, would be cool to see how it compares to your golf too and other competitors with just a stage 1 tune.
Yeah I reckon the 19k was supposed to be 29k but they typed it in wrong. Very unfortunate but a lovely car none the less, I love the spirit of the owner, he will go very far 😊
What tends to happen is female drivers tend to drive with the seat 90 degrees and all the way upto the steering wheel then don't slide the seat back to get out causing excessive bolster wear seen it many times before. Some people are more careless than others aswel to some a cars a car A to B thing to others its much much more, so we tend to care for our cars that much more.
The seats suffer the same as the MK2 Golf seats, fat arses and lots of getting in and out kills the fabric on the bolsters. Find someone local with VCDS (the Polo Owners Club can help) and check the millage, while you are there get any options unlocked that are still missing on the car.
Not watched the videos regularly in like 2 years but this was nice. I see you still got Arthur's Golf R I believe because I remember the plate :D Seems like a good guy and very much into the car culture but idk about the driving position 😅
If speedo had been read in kms rather than miles when mot was done this could account for the mileage discrepancy. Good on the lad for what he's done. I have a feeling he'll do well for himself.
Yeh the painted mirrors aren’t great but he did it himself and they look ok from a mile or 2 away. It’s just mirror caps, can be redone in the future. Steering wheel too, fair play having a go doing it himself 🤷. Nice car for a 20 year old! 👍 Sit up straight boy!! 😂
It looks like its been turned back just before its first mot in 2019, then of course in 2021. From 2019 to 2020 its done 14,000 miles, then really another 14,000 miles from 2020 to 2021, so i reckon it's done 56,000 + miles or more with the driver doing 14,000 miles for the first 3 years and an extra 14,000 miles from 2020 to 2021, so the true mileage will be in the 90,000 miles. The wear on the seat confirms this. Great car though thinking about buying one myself.
@@jasonboyle7203 In all likelihood they just read it in Kilometres instead of Miles for that MOT. The two MOTs either side are around 15,000 miles and 20,000 miles, so you'd expect the middle one to be 17,500 odd, which is 28,000km.
Nice ride.. I owned a 1.4T polo gti full house beautiful pocket rocket.. Down fault of those cars is the dsg gearbox I repaired mine twice after the 2nd repair I SOLD IT with out regret.. The seat issue mine was suede with leather getting in the car & out you do tear that side by the door my leather was worn off that side
I work at a garage and twice now the distance travelled has been put in as kilometres instead of miles. One was the Polish owner who had it set as KM and our tester didn’t notice, the other we think the tester accidentally switched to KM when checking. I’d say that is what’s gone wrong here. Sadly, it cannot be changed! Clocking usually occurs before the first MOT anyway so that’s why it is absolutely vital to buy with FSH from a main dealer to minimise the risk.
Bro Calvin have great respect for you, your always speaking to everyone with great respect & always encouraging everyone. In return Calvin you've got everyone's respect & love for you & that young lady is going to go a long way absolutely stunning Polo with every mod he has made.
We need a day in the life of Calvin video would be awesome to see what you get up to In a full day even down to when you find time to eat between deals.👌
Looks cool when you having to drive seat back, but not so cool when you have to keep leaning forward to peer over the steering wheel. Sit in the correct position your hands are way too over extended in an emergency your reaction will be way off. Happy motoring.
yeah they do, stock, mine is stage 1 mapped but manual and will do it in about 5.5 on a good day, only thing I can think of is that maybe Calvin is a heavy geezer 😂
My Mexican made golf with the same engine does 5.7 with an APR stage 1 map so I imagine this with a dsg is probably closer to 5 flat, if he had really good tires might be able to get it down even more
@@Jushwa DSG is limited on the torque without the gearbox being mapped as well, so the manual tends to be faster in most cases, especially from rolling
Had one of these almost identical but a manual 3 door. Great cars! Should’ve turned ESC off for the dragy runs though. Mine was 35k ish and whilst the seat bolster wasn’t as bad it was definitely getting there so I think mileage adds up. Lower foam section however was pretty weak and soft. Would recommend getting a manual stage 3 on the channel they are a handful!! Great vid
The mileage is low but not impossibly so I guess. I have 30 odd thousand on my Polo of the same age but I never commuted to a job. The bolster wear is interesting though, no such wear on mine at this mileage, in fact it still looks mostly new. I suspect the mileage record is just a misprint.
Is your polo a gti? The gti seat bolsters stick out much further if a short lady had it the wear on the bolster gets more of a beating as they don't tend to slide the seat back to get in and out I've seen it many of times in the past.
Thank You for having me calv!👍👍

Someone needs to explain to this lad he’s got zero control of that car when he’s lying down 😂.
Doesn't want be seen when he's picking up minors 😄
He has to drive it like that @fourpipes It’s a sleeper. 😊
Made me smile, he looks out of the Back Windows instead of the side 😜
My man's ready to sleep
He's just chilled out
He'd be able to drive it if he could reach the steering wheel and see over the dashboard!! 😂

How can anyone drive laid down that much?!
Totally agree. Far to far away from the wheel
I bet he gets pulled over alot if he always sits like that.
Thats how drive...and who that fuckk are you to twll us otherwise...tf🙄💀💀

“A bit optimistic getting into the 6’s” , it does 6.7 seconds standard and he’s got a map on it, so his map has made it a slower car 😂😂
Must’ve been mapped by his baby bother
thought the same, hows he getting 7s with all his mods, stock I can get better. What's he done to the poor thing.
Binca never looks like they sell anything not surprised never respond to emails calls nothing 😒
Cool car and cool lad. But how does he drive that far away from the steering wheel 🙈
Its got that new Bluetooth steering 🤣
Hi good video get him to get someone to plug VCDS in it will tell him the real mileage no getting away with VCDS
Was just coming on to comment this!
Are the seats broken, he cant reach the steering wheel or see over the dash !
Fair play to him for reaching the steering wheel and pedals from the boot stig shit

Whos child is this? jk
DSG has its own mileage counter. This can be compared to engine ecu mileage
This.
I got a mechanic to do a full inspection of a dsg car and the mileage between the gearbox and odometer was out by 20,000
Insurance quote
'Is your vehicle modified' .....No
🤣 😂
8,000 miles a year Social Domestic and Pleasure only. Parked in a garage with Military grade protection 😂
no way that's pushing 240bhp
Not if it’s that slow idk what’s wrong with it
Hes a good lad heads screwed on I have the same car 2017 plate in black running around 250bhp 400lbs torque straight piped lovely cars nippy aswell I can do 0-60 in around 5.5-5.7 seconds 👍💯
Don't you mean 400nm? To put out 400ft-lb the bhp would be a lot higher.

Benefits of having rich parents but im glad he likes it.
Is he laying down in that driving seat? 🤔 😂🤣😴💤
Great kid. I wouldn’t worry about the mileage. I have a car where the mot garage cocked the milage up within its mot history as well.
All dsg boxes retain the real mileage
Kids in a different postcode with that seat position
You need to use a code reader like the carly code reader as it checks all the control modules which store milage separate to the main ecu. That's the easiest way of checking.
Or do an MOT check online. This car passed the MOT in August 2020 with 28k on the clock, and then passed an MOT in August 2021 with 19k on the clock.
There is a big problem with people taking out low mileage PCH and doing high mileage, then having "mileage correction" carried out. They return them to lease companies with the low mileage, sell at auction, and dealers buy from auction. That seating position though.... questionable
Never understand how you can drive lying down, may as well have a pillow case and a duvet cover 🤣🤣

He really reminds me of when I was 19/20 sitting with the seat like that in my 306 GTI soon learned my lesson when I pranged into another car 😂😂
At least clear out the McDonalds cups before cinematics. 😅😅
Everything is nice apart from the driving position, idk why loads of young lads sit like that
Why have you stopped me again officer , I'm only 20 lying flat in a stage 1 mapped, blacked out, GTI !!

Cant even reach the top of his steeringwheel. Ugh.. this hurts me as an instructor.
Also a dsg with 240bhp should be WAY quicker.
the mileage aint that bad tho, should be on like 42k now
He should of done a HPI check before buying. For 16k 😂
Also dealerships are more sus than private sales
How old is he again? I missed it the 5000 times u said it lol
You could say this lad is one laid back guy 😉
Yeah I reckon the 19k was supposed to be 29k but they typed it in wrong.
Very unfortunate but a lovely car none the less, I love the spirit of the owner, he will go very far 😊
You too short to sit like this boy
Looks about 12.
You should review Michaels VW scirocco (TheOtherStuff) channel
had a 2016 polo gti with near 60k miles on it had no issue with the cloth on the bolsters I have heard they’re known to collapse tho

Even mine here, VW POLO 6R 1.2 TDI Bluemotion the driver seat has suffered a lot 😢
Thought he was navigating by the stars, but there's no sun roof. If he put the seat up, he could see out the front window.🤷🏼♂️
If this didn’t happen to him now he may have done it worse in the future, a wise man learns from his mistakes 👍
The worn seat is a screaming red flag that the mileage is actually higher than it claims.
My seats are like new at 50k miles

The seats back is cringeworthy.
Seems like a great guy but I wish he would sit properly, its just dangerous
Got a stage 2 2012 Seat Leon Cupra R if ever you want another different video
Got a Vauxhall Adam s with the recaro seats, 24k miles and the seat has worn away more then what you’d expect
It looks like its been turned back just before its first mot in 2019, then of course in 2021.
From 2019 to 2020 its done 14,000 miles, then really another 14,000 miles from 2020 to 2021, so i reckon it's done 56,000 + miles or more with the driver doing 14,000 miles for the first 3 years and an extra 14,000 miles from 2020 to 2021, so the true mileage will be in the 90,000 miles.

No doubt we'll here about it millage on his own Channel after the reading from DSG when he goes to vw

That should be getting way faster than 7.8 seconds 0-60. My ek9 type r with 200hp runs 6.1s with a passenger
Yeah suspicious of the stated bhp nice little car tho but 7.5 7.9 drag times is usually at around 180 190 bhp
Sounded like he was shifting around 4k though 🤷
This is 20 to 70 not 0 to 60.
