UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Hi girlfriend crashed the car yesterday :( i think I've got away with cosmetic damage, but i do need to replace some items if anyone knows the part numbers that will help me out.... VW polo 2010 1.4 petrol DSG Front bumper.... Both headlights... Passenger side wing.... Front bumper grills bits.....

The only reason I thought 195/55/15 might be ok was that option appeared inside the petrol flap.

I have a set of falkens on there at the minute, they came with the car, not sure what type of falken.

What do people recommend I get, I intend to replace all 4 at once.

I just feel like the car lacks grip on the tyres I have on there, I feel like the back is loose and skips away at times, it may not be the tyres doing that but I still need new ones.

Hi i have the standard 15" alloy wheels on my VW polo 1.4 2009 with 185/60/15 tyres, can i up my tyre size to 195/55 without changing the 15" alloys ?

There is also a shielded har...

ok i'm being picky now , so i'm not going to worry about the DRL, but the leak from the expansion tank i am going to fix........

Thanks for all the advice people, i bought the bosch 027 battery and now the car starts so much better

Now all i need to do is turn off the day light running lights and check the RNS510 i install yesterday does not have the power drain issue i had when i installed it in my Golf.

I'd be aiming to get a 60amp hour minimum regardless of what the present VW Group suggestion is, seriously I can't see a cheap car company like SEAT fitting a bigger than needed battery to an equivalent late 2009, ie 2010 model year Ibiza with the same 1.4 16V 85/86PS petrol engine and similar extr...

Oh, I've got something right, that is okay! Anyway, to the OP, while I was willing to consider that ECP had offered a battery with the terminals the wrong way round, or at least their picture might have shown, I've looked again and I think that the pictures are okay. If you consider that the batter...

How do i private message as it wont let me ?

I just checked the connection layout and i think i would have difficulty with the bosch one, as he terminals are the wrong way round and due to the terminal wire locations i don't think they would stretch......

or i could be looking at a generic picture !!

is the bosch battery the Bosch S4 Battery 027 ?
