2003 Volkswagen Polo Sport 1.4 16v 100bhp

2003 (53) plate, Black, 55,000 miles, MOT Oct 2010, Tax Sept 2010.

Time has come to sell the Polo. Only selling as I’m planning to go travelling. I’ve owned this car for two years having had two previous owners. It has been looked after and is in excellent ...

Thanks for your advice.

Think I mite stick with 10w40 instead of changing back to Fully Synthetic as that’s what my mechanic used the last couple oil changes. Plus the oil gets changed every 5,000miles. Feels like it would seem a little bit of waste to put 5w30 for 5,000miles.

Either that or I ...

My Polo's due for an oil change and not sure what oil to put in? It’s the 1.4 16v 100bhp engine.

VW have it registered on 0w30 but I haven't had it serviced at the dealer whilst owning it.

I top up using 5w30
My mechanic uses 10w40

What do you recommend?

Its a common fault on the Polo's. Take a look at the post below. This will give you an insight in to the problem.

Trim.

Changed the Brake Light Switch, Bulbs and the Fuse yesterday… And by time I got home, the brake lights had stopped working again.

Any ideas anyone?

Got a Diagnostics test done today. Turns out it is the Brake Light Switch. Getting it replace in the next week or so. Hopefully this solves the problem.

Hi,

I would definitely recommend Alpine or Pioneer Headunit from past experience. You can’t go wrong if you stick to them two brands. Just a case of finding one with the features that meet your needs.

You don’t need a connector or a face plate for the 9n. It slides straight in. If you got a CD ...

If you go for shared bathrooms, invest in flip-flops! < that's the voice of experience there :lol: :lol:

Haha…I agree, would definitely invest in some Flip-Fops. Worth every penny from my experience.

Don’t think it’s worth paying an extra 1k for an ensuite. Beside it’s only for a year.

If ...

What was the price of the EGC Valve? (If you don't me asking).

Yes, I have a Patrol. Didn't realise EGR Valve was only for Diesels.
The only other thing I think it could be is the Coilpack. But I'll soon find out.

Thanks.

Yeah I wouldnt mind knowing that too.

My Engine Management light came on a couple of week ago. Plugged my mates laptop in and it came up as an EGR valve fault. I'm going to give it a clean 1st before replacing it, to see if that sorts it!

Got in the car last night and the Engine Management ...

Nothing wrong with a Mini. Think I mite get the Mk2 Cooper S next lol.

Well after a drive last night, the EPC has gone of & only the Engine Management is lit up. After looking at the website below seems like I’ve got a few of the symptoms so it could be the EGR Valve. I’ll get a Diagnostics done to tell for sure.

How much did the EGR Valve cost to replace?

Thanks for ...

Just got my car back from borrowing it to a friend and it’s got the Engine Management & EPC Lights on.

Anyone know what this means as I haven’t got the manual to hand. The car seems to be driving as normal. Wondering if I can still drive the car as normal until I book it in to my local garage ...
