Re: 07 plate Polo been stored for 18 months - some questions

Abs and probably airbag warning lights will most likely stay on until reset as these systems are quite sensitive to voltage fluctuations but its most likely nothing to worry about. Before starting it, check you can turn the engine by hand. It would also be worth draining the oil and replacing that ...

07 plate Polo been stored for 18 months - some questions

Hi I need to sell a 07 plate Polo 1.4SE automatic for a family member. However it has been stored unused in a garage for 18 months. The battery had fully discharged. I think I need to get a new battery for it, however I wonder if anyone can offer some advice? I left the battery on charge for 24 hour...

Mk7 Polo Drivers Door LED

Hi I have a 2007 Polo. It has been stored for approx month while I have been away. During that time the red LED in the driver side door has stopped flashing. I read in the manual that that is supposed to happen after 14 days idle. It is now being used again but when parked and doors locked the red L...

12V socket

I've read some posts around the net that make me wodner if all Polos still have the 12V socket for a cigarette lighter. Not that I smoke, but do need the socket for a SatNav. One post said that unless ordered specifically a cigarette lighter is not included any more - however is the live socket ther...

MP3 interface

I am interested in a 2007 Polo 1.4S that I have seen - the specifications list Radio/CD/MP3. I suspect the MP3 interface is just a 3.5mm connection. Is that right or is there something more than that?

75PS engine & 80 PS

The Polo 1.4 I was lookign at has been sold. It had a 1.4 80PS engine. They have another 1.4 with a 75PS engine. Both are automatic transmission. Clearly the 80 PS is more powerful, but woudl it actually be noticeable I wonder?

Any advice appreciated.

Re: Automatic Airconditioning

Yup I did wodner if it was just teh standard a/c that was on the earlier Polos. certainly the controls look the sme, just restyled.

It was just that the spec listed it as 'automatic airconditioning' that made me wonder.

Automatic Airconditioning

I am likely to replace my 1998 Polo 1.6 with a '57' 2007 1.4 model. The 1998 one has air conditioning which used to work better than it does now despite £250 replacement of an expansion valve last year. However the new one's specification states 'automatic air conditioning'. I only see the usual A/C...

Length of MK VII vs MK III

I currently have a 1999 Mk III Polo 1.6 3 door which I am considering trading in for a '57 2007 model (5 door). Does anyone know how the lengths of these two compare?

Polo overheating

I have a 1999 Polo 1.6 Automatic. After a short trip today within about half a mile of home I noticed the red temperature warning light flashing and the temperature indicator moving towards max. When I got home (few mins) I let it cool and looked and found virtually no water in the expansion tank. I...
