UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

So what's the general consensus on when to change these belts / chains I've a 2014 (64) 1.4 petrol (83bhp), and now sure if it needs done 46,000 miles atm.

Firstly we can all see the funny side of this, but it's more a joke between friends and not for customers, let alone their belongings. I clean cars myself and would never dream of doing that to someone else's property no matter the make or model or age. But reading through your local dealership has ...

Wouldn't opt for SP sportmaxx tbh, I've had them and found them alright (Great in bone dry weather, but any sort or moisture and they're average) but will be going back to Continental or Michelins.

Maybe it's a land dolphin

Evening all, I'm considering changing my car from my 1.4 Polo 6R as I fancy a bit more power. So naturally I considered the mk7 Golf GTI pp which was disappointing and boring, so I'm now considering another polo but this time the lovely 6C GTi and was wondering what everyones thoughts are on them? A...

Your Local Detailer should advise you that you shouldn't use shampoos containing wax on your Gyeon (very good stuff, you'll love it). Although my question is why use waterless wash? I tried it once, but threw it out after one panel as it scratched it. I hadn't realised I was to avoid shampoos with ...

As a new owner I booked my car into the local vehicle detailer (actually took it in this morning). They wash it properly, clay bar it and will apply a ceramic coating (Gyeon - Q2 Mohs). Not cheap but it does provide a first layer of protection which is easy to clean. I had my last car prepared the ...

My question is why spend money on a new unit, when you can use the Apple carplay? Why not instead teach your daughter to be responsible ( I'm sure she already is, I don't mean anything by that) and not touch the phone while driving. I've no experience with that generation of polo as I have the 2014 ...

I ceramic coated my car 2 years ago with Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light and Exo V2 (now revised to v4), and it looks still as good as it did after polishing it 2 years ago, with I'd say very very few scratches have been incurred, It's good for 5 years. I also wash weekly. I agree with SRGTD, the most ...

Thanks for the info Dink. I’m not really into the modding scene - I’m too old for that now 😄 (retired), so I’ll stick with the standard suspension set up. The only changes I tend to make to a car’s factory build is to change the wheels if the car comes with diamond cut alloys, as I dislike diamond ...

There's no real pros or cons list for changing alloys, it will change your speedometer by going up a size ( Personally I haven't had any issues with it ) and if you're going to paint wheels black why get 17 inch alloys? Black doesn't show the shape of alloys, so in my opinion you might as well run s...

cheba, I know all about Diesel I was just making derogatory comments about it jokingly as iichel's car is a TDI, that is all. By the way, I don't advise it, but you can extinguish a lit cigarette by dropping it into a container of petrol most of the time, though some people might just get it wrong!...

Okay, so probably engine code BXW, I think that the "FSI" got dropped years before that engine was built by the way. Nothing else gets changed normally at year 4 major service. The cambelt kit on these engines normally gets changed at 5 years, not at 4 years as it was with much earlier versions lik...

What is the engine code of your car, and mileage?

Will need to check the engine code, but it's the 2007-2014 1.4 FSI 85bhp, with 42k on it.

Still for sale?
