UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

I'm starting to think this engine is cack and won't last at all.

internal leakage will probably go into the induction tract or the cylinder, then the oil get burnt and leaves through the exhaust. I had the same problem and this is what I suspect it is. Then the timing chain snapped! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk How much and how often did you notice you wer...

Is this not the kind of thing that would be picked up on a service or oil change?
To be honest its always kind of been like this, I'm just a bit of a worrier these days

Thanks for the info. Hmm, I doubt it I'll be able to check all those myself but I'll certainly have a go at what I can do myself.

Wheres it actually going internally then do you think and whys it not leaking out?

I check my oil once a month, but I'm constantly having to top it up. Over the space of a a few months its been like this: April 2018 - 1/4 way up dipstick line - Not topped up May 2018 - Looked lower so toped up to half way June 2018 - Had gone down a little - Not topped up July 2018 - 1/4 way up di...

Lovely ta.

Even though this doesnt state its for my VW Polo 1.2TSI it should be fine right?

Bless you.

My guy said it was the sensor after the cat. Bank 1 sensor 2. So after means behind yeah? This page is very confusing to me http://www.oemepc.com/vw/part_single/catalog/vw/markt/RDW/modell/PO/year/2010/drive_standart/672/hg_ug/906/subcategory/906010/part_id/3708477/lang/e and it even states my VIN n...

All very good questions.
Where would I find what the official part number is please?

Ive not actually been under the car, I'm just going off what my A.E. told me whose been in the business for 40+ years.

Hey guys Ive had my auto electrician plug into my Polo as the engine management light keeps coming on and he tells me that the Lambda sensor needs replacing. I reckon this is something I can do myself with just limited car mechanic knowledge, but I see that you can buy a universal one on eBay WITHOU...

I didnt hear about recall for the turbo actuator. Although I have no idea where/why I would have heard about this. Is this something I need to do you think? I'm going to assume I have the right oil filter as it was done at a VW servicing, repair & tuning garage. How would I know if I have the &q...

Ha, yeah.
Its not worried me for the past few years too much, I just think its gotten a bit louder and more often of recent.
TBH I'm glad we can resurrect on this forum, I hate the ones where you cant.

Hi This noise, just after ignition, that then sort of revs itself up then then drop off after about 2-3 seconds is still happening on my Polo. It does seem to do this more on its first start of the day (I sometimes also dont drive it for days at a time) Its not these "Death rattles" https:...

I am in the UK nu I'll check it out and report back next time I'm over there.
Thanks
