I have two keys - a main key and a spare. I have had intermittent problems with the car starting fine some days and refusing to start again when it is stopped after a journey. Sometimes I can wiggle the ...

1.2 2002 9n ignition barrel failure

Hi chaps,

after a bit of advice here as I'm jumping in the deep end with this as I have no previous experience with in-depth electronics or anything on any polo's.

Recently my car started flashing up the key in the car warning light on the dash which I believe is the key immobiliser/chip reader ...

Re: Polo 9N Vinyl Wrap!

Yeah, how many metres did you buy? I will definitely give white a try... will be interesting to see what its like cleaning a vinyl car.

Did you use a heat gun or hairdryer? And does it need an application spray on it to smooth it out etc? Do you pre cut the pieces of wrap it and then cut into the ...

Re: Polo 9N Vinyl Wrap!

Looking lovely! :D I'm contemplating doing the same right now, either white or black. Where did you get it/what exact vinyl did you use if you don't mind me asking?

Perhaps we can get a gallery going of DIY wrapped polos :lol:

First time polo owner

Just about to buy a polo and have seen a new facelift version which I love the look of, but the catch is it has 111k on the clock and I'm wandering what the things lifespan is going to be.

No doubt vw's are very well built cars, but what is everyones feeling on this? Worth a punt and keeping it a ...

F/S/Swap: Beautiful 2001 Seat Leon Cupra 1.8 20vt

Due to saving for a house deposit my pride and joy cupra has to go for a small run around, so it is regrettably for sale.

I am interested in swapping for a decent 02-05 polo of similar mileage/value though, or with cash my way for something less valuable.

It is a 2001 Leon Cupra, completely stock ...

As per title, I am looking for a newish polo as a runaround until I have a house deposit, so my lovely Cupra is up for grabs.

It is in beautiful condition mechanically, and with one or two very minor bits of cosmetic damage. Very low mileage, 66800, It's a 2001 m1 with the AUQ engine, completely ...
