UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

I had the warning light on and the reason turned out to be the EGR valve . Had it replaced (for not so reasonable price of 310€ (50€ for diagnostics and 260€ for the valve + work) and avot, works like a clock. P.S. Depending on the reason, it might not be so dangerous to keep driving even with...

Does it really matter how you measure it?

The motor vehicle inspector around here measure it from the center of the wheel to the arch at the vehicle inspection.

This should work now would it??

Hi, greetings from up north!

You do just that, don´t overdo your modding, it´s a nice car, you shouldn´t spoil it!

P.S. Hope yours doesn´t burn oil like mine. Gotta do something about it soon.

My 1.4 16V actually started burning oil after the first service at 27500km and now just waiting for the oil light to turn on all the time ;-) Drove about 950km trip last sommer and part of it I drove really fast (about 150-180km/h thanks to one persistent MB driver) and I thought that was the reason...

And what´s the brilliant idea in that? Can I buy pads with the wire???

Im also looking for an exhaust with the same sort of criteria for my 1.4 16v, but i also want it to look OEM and neatly fitted... Hmm. what´s the point if you want it look OEM? I guess you gotta have bigger pipes for better noise, don´t you agree? Othervise just drill some holes... Remus makes ni...

Cheers :) - have you got springs and dampers then? Yes, Sportline springs with Pro-damper dampers = Sport-System! The max. lowering is 45-50mm (front) and I do have to admit that during wintertime that´s a bit too much. Guess you don´t have as much snow as we do so... ;-) Some say the stock dampe...

I´ve had those for about a year now (the full Sport-System, not just the springs).

Those rims are "only" 16" ´cause the roads here are like...you don´t wanna know

Sorry to hear your not quite satisfied with your car. I´ve driven about 27000km with my 2004 model Polo and no problems. Okey some squeeks from the dashboard in winter, but it´s freezing here so that´s understandable. Something wrong with the rear wiper but I don´t use it so who cares. I paid mo...

I have GY Eagle Ventura 205/45-16 in summer time and Nokian Hakkapeliitta 1 185/60-14 in winter time (probably you´ve never heard of those?) I think the Venturas are the best tires I´ve ever had and such a shame it´s an old range of tires and not available anymore. Gotta think of something the ne...

Somehow it seems you are a little bit too paranoid?

Just don´t think it´s a long term way of doing business if they just cheat customers out of their money. Well I guess that happens too, but...

How about side airbags? Here in Finland one cannot change front seats because it´s not allowed to "downgrade" oem safety equipment.

Seats with side airbags it a whole new story, but I guess those are too expensive so nobody really does that.

Btw. Your interior looks alot better that way!

GaryUK; I am under the impression that some of the 9N cars are made in spain and some in Slovakia (and finished in Germany, like mine). One should not blaim the workers but the people who should take care of the quality, right?

No rattles and squeeks in mine, so I shoudn´t care too much.

So you don´t have LL service system (LongLife) in Australia but the "old" 1 year or 15000km system? Here in Finland all VW vehicles have LL service system which is 2 years or 30000km. All cars have service indicator so the car tells you when it should be taken to service. I have driven ab...

I recommend Eibach Sport-System fullkit. It lowers 45-50mm front and 30-35mm rear. For more information click here!

That don´t make your car look like it´s about to fly like many kits with equal lowering in front and rear. To see my car with Sport-System click here and here.
