Idle speed. The rpm that the engine idles at in neutral ie without any load. Mechanical losses are greater in reverse as it involves additional gears to reverse the direction of the output. Extra gears mean more friction for the engine to overcome. It may require more revs to pull away in reverse t...

Has your idle speed dropped? There are greater mechanical losses using reverse so a small drop in idle speed could prevent creep whilst not affecting first gear creep. That’s a generic rather than Polo based answer. Sorry not sure what you mean, do you mean the idle speed when going forward? if so ...

If the previous owner of your car didn’t bother to clean the exhaust tips, they may have become unsightly - hen...

Thanks for your help Cheba, Cant seem to find the exhaust with the part number online so will pop into my local dealer and ask them about them

The aerial can be a tricky one, depending on whether or not you have the original part and can check the exact part number. Is it the antenna base or the antenna rod you need? Regardless, there are many versions of each (often with identical part numbers except different last number) depending on t...
