HI The rear washer on my daughters Polo has never worked so i thought I would fix it today. It had been disconnected in the engine bay but when I reconnected it, it was leaking from the tailgate (I knew it was too easy a fix!) Anyway its leaking from the plastic mount on the wiper motor as per photo...

hi
up to 300 miles a tank at the moment
I guess a motorway tank would be more

happy with that for now

How far is it to work? It should heat up pretty quickly. Sounds like either your waterpump isnt working properly, or you have a blocked rad or a malfunctioning thermostat Hi Alex 30 mins tops if im stood in traffic or driving slowly the gauge will hit the centre ok on a faster run it gets just less...

Hi

yesterday I changed the coolant temp sensor for a genuine VW one.
If I leave the car running on the drive the temp goes to the middle fine but when i drove to work this morning it never reached the middle (50mph on an A road)
should it be reaching temp and in turn using less fuel?

cheers

still looking

cheers bepe... im selling it next year and ill make sure its as good as can be before that but as for now... i lost my job, and now am only working part time 100 pound for a service when my step dad was a mechanic for like 22 years seem like an unecessary expense when i know in the last year nearly...

Ok, well I have done the following... Refited the EVAP solenoid changed air filter - (when i got the car it went into the garage my partner uses near her work, they charged me £70 for a look over & oil change and told me the air filter was fine, both parts were grey and one had abit of oil - we ...

Hi found the hose for the EVAP solenoid and it goes to the round black canister (glad thats still there!) Someone disconnected the solenoid & joined the pipes together, any thoughts on why this would be done? Solenoid seems to work when the engine is ticking over, you can hear a clicking noise, ...

Ah yes thats the EVAP solenoid - you are missing hoses on that, which are very important, and could well explain your high fuel consumption. Behind the drivers headlight lower down should be a round black canister (its further to the right of the power steering fluid in that photo (you cant see it!...

pressure sender is the intake manifold pressure sensor located to the left hand side of the manifold - its quite important in controlling fuel consumption and so on. EVAP problem is something to do with the fuel hoses (possible fuel filter?) or a fault with the activated charcoal canister (or the s...

If I was you dude, I'd forget about the eBay seller/part and just get the sensor direct from VW. lol yes i contacted the seller who sent refund straight away saying "It sounds like it may be a faulty sensor. I will refund it. The sensor is made by a company who make non genuine german car part...

Hello Well just home from work and no light on the dash. Ran the fault finder again and got this http://i901.photobucket.com/albums/ac211/irishkeet/polo/vag-24-09.png Looks like there is a problem with the temp sender i bought on ebay, I will contact the seller and check its the real deal, will also...

not sure but looking at the ebay ad it says it is
I did loose all the coolant when i fitted it so if i remove i guess it will need doing again

cheers

still sounds like you may have a grounding issue. Clean all your battery contacts, and check everything on the battery is tight. This could also have reference to the 18010 error. As for the temp sender, try spraying some contact cleaner (or just wd40) into the connection for the temperature sender...
