but £511 and it isnt easy to remove so if you crash and havent declared it....

be careful john_polov mate when mine ran out in april i had 2 options 1. vw customer care gave me a number for vw extended warranty and on my 2001 1.4 tdi it was £402 for 1 year and £674 for 2. that was supposed to be a complete extension of the existing one with no exclusions for increased wear b...

your unit doesnt play dvd mp3's??

i would take it back

you realise that if you crash and the insurance company get an inkling that you use it most they wont pay out. so by putting mods on it you are making it look like your car. unless your dad is into mods that is.

just a thought....

harold i have a 1.4 tdi as well. i have seen the tuning boxes but am sceptical about them. they seem too good to be true. check out http://www.tdiclub.com/ and look in the faq there is loads of stuff on mods. have you come across a exhaust specialist who do off the shelf back boxes for the tdi? i ha...

appologies for jumping on the end of this topic. but the original exhaust on my 2001 tdi pd 75bhp is going to be kaput in the next few weeks. i am loath to buy a vw one and was looking for a specialist one (such as stainless for the lifetime warranty they have). the places i have looked (scorpian ma...

mmmm

just rang vw

for 1 yr its £402 and for 2 yrs its £674.

i understand that your can extend the 3 yr manufacturers warranty on the vw when the original one runs out. will i be contacted by the dealer about this or do i need to chase it up myself. if, by chance, anyone has taken this out. do they think it was worth the money. i dont know how much it costs. ...

thanks

cheers for the response speedlaw. by issuing the update to the brake system i think vw have admitted there is a problem with all mk 5 polos. they just havent called it a recall.


i will give some companies a ring

thanks

hi guys
