Cheers for that, would be great but it's a bit of a trek to north lincs from here. Forgot to say, I'm near stansted airport, so sort of cambridge / north london / herts / essex kind of region

Hi guys, I'm looking for a set of 14" wheels - don't need tyres particularly although that's a bonus if they're there already. Just looking for a really cheap set, it's actually for a Skoda that I'm taking on the Mongol Rally next year (approx. same wheel fitments as old 4 stud VWs if I remembe...

Looks great - pricey for a small part maybe, but certainly less than I'd be looking at to change all the locks and the ignition barrel!

Cheers for the help!

I've had the same problem with my mk4 polo, and with my old scirocco - just a gummed up throttle body. Worth taking it off and cleaning it out with WD40 or throttle body cleaner.

Other than that, a good standard service never goes amiss - leads, dizzy cap, plugs etc

'99 T reg 1.4CL, being driven very carefully - long motorway run at a steady 55mph. I was skint, and if I ran out of petrol I would have had to hitch hike... did pretty well though!

Ah, fantastic! I don't terribly know about locks though, do you mind describing the bits that need changing?

Cheers!

Try Admiral or Elephant and add a Woman drive as a secondary driver make sure shes like ur mum and hope she's got no points and 4 years no claims, and get the 10 month deal, get ur NCB ASAP. And get ur mum or dad to get a credit card for you and pay it all off at onces and then make sure the credit...

Hi all, The drivers door lock on my polo has broken. Turn the key and it doesn't turn the mechanism. Until today I've been able to get in still because the central locking still works, so the pump opens the lock, but now even that seems to have gone - I think the switch has just shifted out of posit...

I'll try the breather pipe! As everyone knows i've practically replaced everything associated with the issue! Changed the Temp Sender 3 weeks ago and its slightly worse then the original one. So now all I have left is the idle control valve to change. A new one costs about £300 si i'm on the look ...

Cheers for that :) I actually gave up in the end and got my mechanic to do it for me this morning. He realigned the clutch because he reckoned I had it slightly off, and then he said to mount it you need to fit it with the diff at the bottom and then rotate it 90 degrees, because otherwise the drive...

Worth bearing in mind if you carry any passengers and plan to fit alloys at any point, the square rear arches rub like crazy on breadvans. I didn't even lower mine and I had problems when I fitted a set of 13" alloys from a mk1 golf, tyres any wider than 165 section cause big problems, and I be...

On the back of the engine block there's a dome shaped lump of metal, attached to which is a rubber pipe which runs up to the air filter housing. This dome is an oil separator, it's designed to separate oil from gas within the engine block to allow the gas to be fed up to the carburettor and re-burnt...

Halfords has a sample chart to take to the car, unfortunately I can't take the car to halfords, and their paint mixing system does not list pistaccio green. :( Just take the piece of trim which is meant to cover the towing eye socket on the bumper into halfords and get them to match that - you can ...

Hi guys, Just copying this head from the engines/powertrains section - just after a quickish response and I know less people check the sections lower down the list ;) Anyway, here goes: Long time since I've been on uk-polos :D I'm having some troubles changing the clutch on my polo - it's a 6n 1.4 8...

I know this is very late, but in case it's still of any use to you or anyone else thinking about doing this, the engine will not fit and the gearbox will not mate up to it. The 1.6/1.8 engines are tall blocks whereas the 1.05/1.3 units in the polo are short blocks. Hence the short blocks and the lon...
