UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Hi,

I'm after a carb that would fit into a MKII 1.05 GL Polo from 1984 that has now a Solex carb in.

Hi all, it looks like I would need a need a new carb. After running over twenty miles the engine simply went off in a curve in first gear and didn't start anymore. Sometimes, it sounds like it wanted to start but the engine never runs longer than a second. Spark plugs and distributor cap have been c...

Hi, welcome to this forum. Only, it seems to be quiet now since a few months. Unfortunately, I cannot read your pictures because the company filter says "Acces denied. Adult content." :roll: That happens sometimes even with work-related links. :lol: I would need now to go for a computer no...

My guess is that £1000 is plenty of money for a MKI or a MKII (if you have posted in the right section) in excellent condition. If you haven't done so, I would look at ebay just for getting some ideas on actual prices.

I haven't done it myself but I guess that a Haynes manual would explain that. They are cheap on ebay and you may need it for other info, too.

When the grinding sound is only or is more when you drive a curve in a particular direction, that means only when driving a right curve OR a left curve then it's mostly wheel bearings. CV joints are only protective rubber thingis. If they are cut or otherwise broken then can enter dust and dirt and ...

If the thermostat worked before but now is always open (better than always shut ) you could check this with the temperature gauge on the dashboard.

Polo is mot'd, now. The tester starred very long at them when re-testing, though. :D The coating of those pipes has a few punctures where it starts rusting. I simply cleaned those spots with sandpaper and gave it a finish with WD-40 and an oily working glove. 8) Does someone know a proper treatment ...

Thanks. Fortunately, it's not urgent at all. I could clean the "excessively" corroded pipes simply with my oily working gloves and they look like new again.

Hi all,

I was just wondering if it's possible to get some new pre-configured brake pipes or would I need to bend my own ones with someone who has a flaring tool?

There is a part that looks like a plastic can of the size of cola can that gets fitted in between the rubber hose from the oil separator to the air filter. It did cost about £15 if I remember right. Somewhere here in this forum was even the part number and some more info. Maybe you'll find it looki...

Also, I've seen this after the car stood a long time or the engine compartment was moist and wet after a wash.

All kind of LEDs on the dashboard went crazy then including this LED indicating overheating.

Today, I went in person to the nearby VW dealer and the price has been announced as ... ... 258 Pound Sterling !!!

Thanks for the info. A tank from VW is really expensive, then!

Hi all!

On ebay they sell a tank to fit ALL Polos from August 1984 to September 1990.

Would this tank really fit in ALL Polos for that time?
