Re: Re: Polo GTI spare wheel

195? that's interesting I thought the normal tyres were 205/45. I wonder if a 205 will fit in the spare wheel well?
The normal ones are yeah, but it's just a spare so doesn't really matter as much. Anything is better than a space saver!

Re: Tailgate lock - any tips re fixing?

Thanks for photo description, my solenoid motor had come loose, in fact one of the screws fell out when I removed the trim. Twenty minutes later, all sorted thanks to this thread :)

Re: Buying advice please

Just got the car home after a very wet 140 mile first drive. Stopped for petrol on the way, reached down under the seat to see if there was a petrol release flap on the floor anywhere (yes I now know there isn't) and found a factory fitted cd-changer under the passenger seat which was a nice ...

The third car was a more mileage but ...

Buying advice please

Hello I'm new to the forum, I am looking for a Polo GTI and test drove a 2006 5 door today. It was a nice car on the whole and confirmed my decision that I want a Polo GTI just perhaps not this one. There were a couple of negatives about this particular car which I was after a second opinion on ...
