Did you ever floor it get up the revs and lift off the peddle a mm or 2. Had read due to air mix fuel types and ecu it's common

If that is the case and the belt had snapped, when you turn the engine, you would soon know, I would go for a new engine, sorry to say. Belts changes are 4 years or 40k miles. Yet depend on the belt fitted aftermarket would be different and if they dud the full kit.
Newer vw cars belts are ment to ...

So your vw discs glazed, was the pads a hard fit in to the bracket?
Also was it the eco version of vw discs do you know?
My discs when they glazed I returned for a full refund, had em on the car 6months.

I've tried, had no luck, my polo has 18 inch, it's a joke tho when you build buy your car it's a £250 addon. Yet after it's made you can not get them, anywhere an then if ya luck with vw they have a waiting list and costs a arm and a leg

So if you get a issue yes your still need to call recovery, but you can get them to put on your old tyre until they have a replacement. Else the car could ...

The default seems best. From my experience. I set mine lower at front and would ware like they was under inflated.
Also note petrol garages and other air pumps can give incorrect preasures, as there not mantained.
I used a petrol garage set pressures drove 50miles got a warning on all 4 for low ...

There is 2 types of values short for alloy wheels long for metal rims with hud caps.
A long value on a alloy will break, as ya prob clip it when parking close to a curb.

Hi all, i have a vw polo gti 71plate. I have noticed a rattle with water noise, so i checked, it seems to be the radiator watter bottle is a bit lose and rattling.
I've looked but can't see how to tighten up, anyone else had this?
Also any clue how to tighten?

Go back to the garage get them to road test, so they can tell, say Its only been knocking since you got it back.
Maybe exhaust, cable or a pipe is tapping

Sounds like a sticky clutch, worn most likely.
Have you tried putting in 4th gear and keeping handbrake on Pull away see if it slipping, also after Tring that see if it pulls better in 1st
