Re: Petrol in diesel engine :(

Interesting, I didn't realise they used to mix the two back in the day in the winter.

Good to hear its not a common rail engine, hopefully that'll work out abit better.

Anyway recalculating the petrol percentage - I had it wrong, it was slightly higher than I first thought (15%) nearly double :(

Re: Petrol in diesel engine :(

Thanks iichel, I have since read online if you keep topping it up with diesel regularly (every 50-75 miles or so) it will keep further diluting the little bit of petrol that is in there which will limit its damage.

Petrol in diesel engine :(

Hi, So this evening I accidentally put petrol in my diesel engined VW polo :oops: It was nearly empty, so started to fill up, wasn't much before I realised (under 5L) I was putting in petrol. Then I topped up the rest with diesel thinking I could 'get away' with it as it would be heavily diluted (ad...

Re: Genuine VW Polo 9N3 roof rack - auxiliary profiles?

Hi both, Thank you for your replies. I think that's what I'll try - just sticking some thin rubber to the underside of the roof-bar brackets and see how that goes. As long as somethings between them and the roof so its not metal on metal contact but still nipped up tight when fitted obviously then i...

Re: Genuine VW Polo 9N3 roof rack - auxiliary profiles?

Evening Alex, Sorry for my slow reply. Attached are some pictures of my roof bars. Like you say - I hope not having the aux rubber profiles will make too much difference. I don't intend to use the roof bars alot, just when going away for the weekend or picking up the odd item. They won't be on the v...

Re: Genuine VW Polo 9N3 roof rack - auxiliary profiles?

Hi Alex,

No problem, attached are the pictures of the manual and I've highlighted red the parts it comes with.

Interestingly they didn't really refer to the additional parts on the Australian post. Its difficult to know whether they are actually essential or not.

Many Thanks
Jody

Re: Genuine VW Polo 9N3 roof rack - auxiliary profiles?

Hi Alex, Thanks for your reply. Yes on your photo I think those little guides on the roof bars match up and follow the roof lines on the cars body. I have these present on my roof bars. It does seem from the fitting instruction manual that they come with these extra rubber inserts from new which fit...

Hi all, I've just bought a Genuine VW Polo 9N3 roof rack for a 5dr polo (Part No.6Q5 071 126 A) It came with what I thought was everything I need however upon downloading the fitting instructions apparently there are four auxiliary profiles that need to be fitted before the roof rack. I don't have t...
