UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

We're near Harrogate in North Yorkshire, about 3.5 hours from Glasgow...not sure about the brakes servo hose...the car is on the Cars for Sale part of this site, and may well put on ebay as well later today if I get time

Hi there, Thanks for the reply, much appreciated- I called the garage just now and suggested your idea but he says sometimes the car runs fine and it's an intermittent 'jump' and he thought if the hose had burst or split that would be causing a constant problem rather than every now and again....i'm...

Getting to the end of the line with an 04 reg 1.2 SE...been on a couple of times before about this and many thanks for the ideas suggested. Big problem with the car kangarooing/hesitating violently and losing power, car has 110k on the clock and has had a full service at a local VW indie in March. P...

2004 04 reg Polo 1.2 SE in metallic black for sale 110k on clock with service history Looking to recoup the purchase price as much as possible but would accept around £900. Good Points Just has full service and new tyres all round (Yokohama BluEarth) New wheel bearings at front New discs and pads at...

Hi, Many thanks for the reply- I'm not sure as he can't recall and think was a bit freaked out by what was happening- 17 yr old new driver! The local VW indie that it was serviced at said that the juddering maybe the coils, and to replace all three for certainty if that is the issue. Not sure about ...

hello all Son reported his 04 plate 1.2 Polo cutting out combined with a large judder/engine stutter on Ripon bypass this afternoon...had to pull in and then car refused to start for aprox 2 mins, turned over didn't catch. Oil warning light came on for about 30 secs too. Has been 'juddering' before ...

Thanks Alan, that's really useful info- I'll have a look at ours and see if there is a similar issue with the valve as per yours,

Much appreciated!

Yep, thanks Alan, reckon we'll do that- I've offered to go halves with him to lessen the impact on his Saturday job wages! Auto Logic said around £170-£190 inc VAT for a full service, £90 for a basic one....

Hi, yeah, mine is in for MOT at the moment. They are really good mechanics at this place. Genuine and honest. Its hard to come by these standards nowadays. These are VW, Audi and BMW specialists that have many years experience working on these type of cars, so not like a general garage that work on...

Great, thanks Alan- just called Auto Logic now and told them that I got their name from this forum, and the guy at the garage said yours was in there now! I'll tell our son and see what he wants to do -use AutoLogic or the local garage, seem pretty similar on price as far as basic and bigger service...

Great stuff, many thanks- actually another member has mentioned Auto Logic so will give them a call as work not that far away from Starbeck,

cheers
Paul

Hi all,

Wondering if any local HG postcode members have any suggestions for a local VW indie garage for a service, seen Vasstech in Knaresborough after a quick Google?
Many thanks!

Hi Alex,

Thnaks for the welcome!
Thanks too for the reply, I'll take a couple of photos and see if I can upload in a few min s!
All new to me this...won't jet wash! did seem an odd tip...!

Thanks again

Hi all We've just bought an 2004 108k miler 1.2 petrol SE for eldest son. All well other than an oil leak-took to local garage and he whipped off the plastic engine cover. He said looks like the end of the engine block has been removed at some point as spotted sealant around the join of the end of t...
