UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Thanks Alex! Pick one up on Thursday and will get it fitted this weekend. Worth renewing the gearbox oil at the same time?

Hello boys and girls, Had the Polo serviced at my local VW dealership whilst away in Austria, all went swimmingly and my wallet is now lighter. Noticed, on my return from said holiday, that on the receipt for the work there is a comment of " gearbox selector shaft weeping oil slightly ". A...

Looks good Ed! What happened to the Ronal R15s?

Thats down to the nature of the forum - you get a large number of users who will post when their gearboxes fail, but no-one says 'out if they aren't having any difficulties!

If you do a search, there is plenty of info on this subject. Mine has done 111000 miles and is still on the original 'box. I changed the gearbox oil at about 78000 miles if I remember correctly. Might do it again with the annual service at the beginning of June...

I've looked at it a few times but not been tempted to sign up as yet. My HTC has a Twitter app built in which could be fun but I don't think I would get any real use out of it TBH.

I'll probably be there on the Sunday with Dubshire.

I've moved this to the right section. Cheers

These are now provisionally sold (pending payment) over on ClubPolo.

Well done fella!!

Gutted for you mate, but glad your mate has seen sense and offered to pay for the damages. Smooth out your roof rails whilst it's being worked on!

Removed from my Polo GTi a few days before Ultimate Dubs, I have for sale a genuine black OEM front and rear VW badge. Pics: http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/812/img4006640.jpg http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/5674/img4005640.jpg Will take £30 inc. P&P for the pair. Not willing to split so p...
