UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

@RUM4MO Thanks for your thoughts on this. You're right in thinking the faster idling has only just started. I've had the car for over 8 years and even in the snow and ice last year it never idled this fast. Normal idle was always around the 750rpm mark and the only times it would idle faster would b...

Anyone have any thoughts or advice about these two, which may be interlinked (late 2002 Polo 9N with 1.2 12v AZQ engine)? I've noticed recently that when starting from cold the engine idles faster than it used to (it's around 15-20'c outside so not freezing). Instead of an idle speed of around 750-8...

Well decided to use some high viscosity superglue type stuff and it seems to done the job of sticking them back on.

Have to say I was lucky to find the thingies that had broken off, one was in the boot and took a bit of finding and the other was eventually found on the driveway.

Well I managed to snap off both of the lugs (or whatever they're called) in my polo, luckily managed to find both of them though.

So anyone got any good recomendations for a decent glue to stick them back on with?

Talk about p*** poor design...

Ok this is stating the bleedin obvious but make sure your rear windows are fully wound up. In the past (not noticed it recently) they've wound down a mm or two - just enough to let water in.

Nice one!

Oh dear another thing to and to my list of stuff I'd like to do, shame the instructions are in german, google and altavista translations are ok for gettin the drift of whats happening but not enough to risk doing the job. Unfortunately I love my gadgets so this is at the top of my list now above the...

iv got the same problem! rear washer = ****! and also the rear wiper doesnt clear the whole window, it leaves a circle patch in the centre of the glass!!! i'l have a play around aswel 2moro at work Pop into the local dealers and get it adjusted (if they're any good they'll do it for nowt - they may...

Yea I've noticed mine have gotten a lil' noisy recently. I'm guessing its my damn sis using them on ice and so putting them out of shape. Theyre only 7months old, so might take them back to vw, see if theyre willing to change them :wink: I'm sure they'll change 'em and charge you for the privilege ...

ive noticed that the front wipers have a loud scrub Yea I've noticed mine have gotten a lil' noisy recently. I'm guessing its my damn sis using them on ice and so putting them out of shape.

like what they've done with the grill and bumpers on the front, the repeaters on the mirrors (me thinks me might be seeing how easy they are to wire up), but that's about it... Front lights I just think rover 25/45/75 facelift :shock: :( you know the way the lights cut into the bumpers. Rear lights ...

That is the most awesome thing i have ever read. What makes me so deeply sad in spite of that, is that it's all true. but... At double mini-roundabouts prepare to lose your no claims bonus. what the hell is a double mini roundabout? (hides in fear) ... is it... from milton keynes? Milton Keynes, Sw...

I'm thankful I didn't buy a Pug 206, I'd rather have a dashboard that rattles (well I don't anymore since they fixed it) than a car that stalls at 70mph on a motorway.

Knowing my luck that's probably what I'd get

Dear Santa,

I have been a VERY VERY good boy this year and would like to have a MK5 Golf GTi for Christmas this year.
