UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

am from Penshaw, just next to the Monument (where radio 1's big weekend was at)

Areet fellow dubbers, haven't been on here in ages!

I haven't been out and about in ages either, thinking bout having a look out tonight, does anyone in the Newcastle area meet up on a sunday still? The baltic or sumthin?

cheers

Don't paint it matey, you'll probs end up having to paint it again sometime cos of all the stone chips!

All i did was go to halfrauds and buy some "go-faster stripes" (bout the same price as a can of spray paint) and then just wrapped it around, using a hairdryer for the tricky corner bits!

It ...

Cheers mate

Hey,

Does anyone know how to get the smaller mirror on the drivers side?

I'm presuming that i would have to buy the passenger side mirror from a LHD polo?

Has anyone done this mod? and if so, what did you do?

Cheers

cheers for the replies, i had that grinding noise in the snow too.

It was about 3 days after i bought the car last year, i thought something was busted, but i'm glad that you have all cleared that issue up for me!

Does the GTI have traction control?? Just wonderin because a couple of times if i have had to pull away from a junction quickly, all the power seems to dissapear, even with my foot hard down!

It seems like a traction control thing, but i'm not sure

mine does the same mate, to me it sounds like the starter motor solenoid is sticking, and the small starting sprocket (the bit that cranks the flywheel) is staying out too long.

Getting some oil through the breather pipe (back pressure???).

Areet mate, if you're getting oil back into your breather, then it is likely that the crankcase breather (round metal part that presses into the block) is probably blocked.

You might find that it could fail the MOT on emissions.

As ...

i was thinking about going down the 1.8T route, and i have spoken to JBS, they told me:

Drive in, drive out service, low mileage 1.8T engine, big brakes and a front mounted intercooler=

£7000!!!! :o :o

I didn't even pay that for the whole car!

So i'm gonna save it and buy an S3 when i have had ...

There is this stuff that bodyshops use called panel wipe, it gets most glues off, don't know about superglue like but its worth a shot

just a question,

Did ur polo have coilovers on?

If so, i'd bet that driveway was a nightmare!!

The new car is very nice tho!

I love the inerior on the VRs

cheers mate, i thought as much, twas strange how the seller didn't put the model that the kit was for, it was only £25 thats all!!! better than £160 ish!!

Areet, this may seem like a daft question but are these kits universal??

It's just that someone was sellin one on ebay and there was no spec as to which car it was for.

I asked the seller what car it was for but he hasen't replied and the kit has now been sold.

Any reply would be grateful, cheers ...

That is sweet mate, it looks very nice

The smooth bumpers is something i plan to do to mine in the future, but i need to save up for a new clutch first!

Been reading the pedal box thread and i think mine is on the way out!
