Re: Dreaded ABS light!

Sad News on the polo.... Took the car to an autoelectrician, not cheap, he gave a good look, prodded and probbed it and found that it was a fault on the wiring loom! Quoted a minimum of £700 to get it fixed :( One thing i noticed when he was testing it was that if the fault code was cleared and you ...

Re: Diesel or Petrol?

They do look comfy, they look like they have big side supports... Hold you in when cornering.

Re: Diesel or Petrol?

Perhaps they look nicer in the flesh rather than in photos.... I was only joking they're not too bad, anything is better than the boring grey thats in my car at the moment.

Re: Diesel or Petrol?

Yeah, i'm reconing on the gti. Can't resist that magic 200bhp mark... Dont think i could go from my gti to a diesel, i'll just have to save some extra money for the mpg.

Besides i'll be saving money by not trying to make a diesel look like a gti and like you say the interior is a little bit ...

Re: Diesel or Petrol?

sounds nice, 190 bhp polo... i'd imagine a break upgrade isnt too much hastle, its simple enough on the 6n2. So rare to find a nice diesel, been looking for the past few weeks with money burning a hole in my pocket! Gotta spend it soon, found a nice gti but the economy is worse than what im driving ...
