Suspension bush replacement.

Hello everybody Polo 6n3 2005 1.4 TDI One of my suspension bushes started clonking back in the autumn, now another 2 have joined in so it's time to bite the bullet and replace all of them. Research tells me that it's not a technically complicated job (gonna make up my own puller), but I am pretty mu...

Re: 6N2 misfire.... end of life help!

Yeah I usually try and get to 150k, I aim to buy at around the 70k mark so can get around 7 year's motoring for a meagre initial outlay. This car had spent the majority of it's first 70,000 miles in London so lots of 'bad' miles done in that time which I feel has led it to be a bit of a problem chil...

Re: 6N2 misfire.... end of life help!

'fraid not! It's time to give up on this one I think. I now have a continuous misfire that is unrelated to the injector problem. On the basis the car is pretty beat up, needs a new windscreen and the MOT runs out next month it's off to the scrappie's for this one. Thanks for your help. I'm usually t...

Re: 6N2 misfire.... end of life help!

That's really helpful, many thanks carrera!

Like I said, electrics are not my strong point... up until now I've stuck a probe
into the injector connector and then the other end into the wire that goes
into the ECU and got good continuity on each one... anything else I should be doing?

Cheers again!

Re: 6N2 misfire.... end of life help!

Can't remember the P codes unfortunately but the ex VW mechanic who ran his computer on the car was equally flummoxed after a few days of fiddling! Haven't tried running it on 3 and reconnecting it, but after ticking over for a long while at traffic lights I then usually pull away on 3 cylinders, if...

6N2 misfire.... end of life help!

Hello all, my first post here... thanks in advance for any help! 6N2, 1.4 petrol, 5 door... has served me well but may be heading for the scrap yard if I can't sort this one out. Rather than embark on an essay I'll list relevant info relating to the problem I've been chasing for the best part of 9 m...
