Gearbox or Release Bearing?

Hi people. Recently my car has been making a whining sound. When I step on the clutch the whining sound goes away but the moment that I release the clutch the whining sound comes back. This only happens when the car is in Neutral. When I am in gear then the whining seems to go away although it might ...

Re: Thermostat problem!!!

I have a similar issue with my Polo. In my case I don't have a thermostat that regulates water flow so the water circulates continuously. My car takes longer to get to normal temp and as soon as I turn on my AC the temp gauge goes down to the first marker as well. Even when I get onto the highway or ...

Re: My Polo Classic from Cape Town South Africa

This is what she looks like after having the lip on the front bumper, lip on the rear bumper and the mirrors colour coded. I also replaced the orange front indicators and front fender indicators with clear indicators.

Re: My Polo Classic from Cape Town South Africa

Thanks carlgannon. Yeah she is a 1998 model so she is roughly 11 years old and I have tried to look after her as well as possible. She has never missed a single service in 11 years. In the 4 years that I have had her she has not broken down once so I have been very happy. Mind you in these photo's I ...

Re: weird engine noise

I have the same issue with my MK4 Polo. When I cold start the car there is no noise, only when I drive the car for a while the noise starts. It only makes the noise when I am in neutral and the clutch is released. I was told that it is the Release Bearing. I am having it checked out next week Friday ...
