Part: Track rod end

Hi. I have recently been trying to track my car and made a slight bodge up. Turns out I need a new track rod end. Can get it fitted, so really need to get the part sepearately rather than getting ripped by VW dealers. Any ideas where i could get one? VAG?

steering part

Steering Part Needed.

Hi. Spent today putting my polo back to stock, by removing alloys, coilovers etc, and when i had installed original suspension, the wheels were on an angle and not even pointing straight so i began messing about with it a bit. Actually undid all of the steering to extend the ...

Hey all.

Am selling full set of 15' schmidt modern line alloys. Only been on my car about 2 weeks. Come in fantastic, almost as new condition, with 4 Goodyear f1 eagle 195/45/15 tyres (also only used 2 weeks). Absolutely no curb marks or scratches.

Wheels are mint, give the ultimate deep dished ...

As some of you may know i have recently purchased the Schmidt Modern Line 8"*15" alloys for my 6n2 polo. I have coilovers and have slammed it and to be quite honest it looks great. I get so many looks and compliments.

However i have experienced some quite chronic ...

EPC light ON

Today I was driving my car and the EPC light came ON, and the car doesnt seem to go above 3000 revs. When it does it simple bogs down and seems to stall, so i simply select a higher gear and its ok.

Almost impossible to drive, as i have to select about 3rd gear to pull away.

Any reasons or is it ...

Been quoted £200 - £400 from my local bodyshops to sort my arches out, however after looking at them closer I can see that it just simply seems to be rubbing on the back lining which seems to be removable by undoin a few screws. Is this reccomended?
