Posted this on another forum,but not had a response just yet.

Anyway it seems like i've fallen prey to the polo timing chain slip after a routine oil change.The car is a 2002 1.2 with only 53k on the clock.

Ive read on the 'interweb' that this is a common problem with them,I just can't believe a ...

is the sealing cord working?,i don't mean completely take it out,i just ment the section in the middle where the radio is.thought i might be able to get my hand through and tighten something

Cheers dom! i notice there is 2 kits for the £36 mark,,only differnce i can see is the flip key looks different

I dont suppose you have fitted one of these kits and can say how time consuming it is?

interesting you ask this as im about to buy one of these cars myself,and part with a 1.4 polo (w reg) which i think is heavy on fuel,,i was hoping the 1.2 would be much better,,the one im buying has 47k on it.

How do everyone,,im currently buying a 02 polo 3 cylinder one with round lights.

The car is so standard,its untrue,,its a 5 door E,,the only electrics are the mirrors :roll:

How easy is it to fit central locking,,and best way,,original polo bits or an ebay kit,,i would also like some sort of thob ...
