polo 9n 1.2 AWY
The cars done 70,707.
I bought it second hand with 31,000 on it, at 34,000 one of the coil packs failed, the car came with vw assistance so they came and changed all 3, free of charge.
Today i think one of the packs has failed again !
The car sounds and feels like it's running on 2 ...

Thanks for the reply.
I had someone sat in the passenger seat today who said it feels and sounds like the noise is right under his feet ?
He suggested the gearbox mounts ? I wouldn't be suprised with this car, a bit more to add to the list.

looks like i'll have to book it in.

Thanks .

I sprayed the front topmounts with Silicone PTFE grease, it stopped the noise for 10 mins, then it came back.
Does that mean the top mounts are the problem. The creaking sound has definatley got louder over the last few weeks.

Before i throw it in the garage does anyone know what i should expect to ...

I've done a quick search and i'm thinking it's the Rear Top Mounts.
It makes the same noise as when the front ARB Bushes failed, creaking with every little movement.

Has anyone had these replaced and how much will it cost ?

Thank you.

I can't remember who told me but i got the impression that they replace the handle.
If it was a paint problem why replace the whole handle ?

Vw salesmen must pass a lieing course before they get the job !

The reason i went in was because i had heard that VW were replacing these handles (known fault !)
He told me he had no knowledge of this, then went off to check it up (yeah, right) came back and said there was no recalls or anything for that and mine was the first one he'd seen with this problem. It ...

I took my 02 plate Polo in to the stealers i bought it from when i noticed rust under the pvc covering on the passenger door.
I also showed them the rust that had broke through on the boot handle.
He Told me the warranty will only cover rust from the inside out :shock: and as mine was judged to be ...

Well, it's working ok for now, gonna go and buy one just to have here anyway.
Got to work out the mystery that is the interior light now, haven't got a clue where to look next, electrics on this car have got a mind of their own.

Could do with some tips/ help here.
Still not fixed this interior light problem.
It looked like the 3 wires on the loom had been crushed when refitting the light, i cut these out and re-connected but still no joy, so checked ALL fuses and couldn't find a problem.....i've not got a multimeter so i ...

Cleaned contacts, put back, working ok for now.

Thanks for that.
I've just took it apart and the contacts inside are dirty, thats all !
gonna throw it back in see how it goes.

Has anyone had there's fail yet, mine's just gone, EPC light on dash, and no brake lights.

Just wondered if anyone knows how much they are ?

Thanks.

Anti-Roll Bar ?
I've not heard a single squeek since i had mine done.

I've not had chance yet to get the door card off, might get chance soon.
As for the your question RUM4MO, yes both lights do come on with 1 door open.
It looks like the interior light doesn't like me, it only worked for a day after i thought i'd fixed it.
The interior light itself can be easily ...

Looks like i am the only one then....................
