Front Splitter Part Number

I hit some diesel and spun off a few weeks ago and my front chin spoiler is damaged. Does anyone have the part number for it so I can ring a few dealers for a price rather than have to explain to each one every time I call



Edit:- forget it I just found it in the commonly used parts numbers cheers

1.4 16V engine problems

My wifes 16V has developed a problem and I wonder if anyone can help or shed some light.

central locking

Im having yet another niggly fault on my Polo. The boot central locking is playing up. Ive had the back panel off and watched the central locking mechanism in action. When it locks it seems to pull the rod too far, has anyone had this problem before and how did they rectify it?

Any idea which pipe the thermostat is in for me to change?
It normally sits at 90 degrees but rides up to 110, the engine runs fine and the engine overtemp light has only come on once. If I put the heaters on in the car the engine temp drops back down to normal but thats a pain in the summer
