you could always try cleaning the throttle body aswell

mine did that power lag thing, it ended up being a blocked cat. this might not be in your case. just thought i'd let you know

got her back 2day, no rattle , when i went 2 pick her up the guy showed me the belt, tensioner and pulley, all were knackered, lucky i stopped driving her when i did, it could have went any time. any way t new timing belt and alt belt now

got her delivered to the garage today, picking her up 2morrow

had a look today, on the belt i spotted 2 niks. before the belt goes over the first of the 2 big top cogs it is loose. do you think the rac will take it to my garage for me??

suppose the the belt breaks or comes off during the journey to the garage, wont that damage the engine

hi all, went to drive my 1.4 16v 97 polo today, but i can hear a rattling sound coming from the engine . i think its coming from under the cam belt cover. do you think its safe to drive to my garage about 5 miles away.

thanks mate
