Yup, that's the place.

The pollen filter is located below the passenger side glove box.

Finally organised getting the TCA rear bushes changed from torn voided standard ones to Seat Cupra solid rubber type by Star Performance - great job and sensible prices. Car is now a lot quieter - even better than when new. Get rid of these horrible voided things that will cause you to fail an MOT!

Have they been told, by the garage exactly what faults are being logged - anything that causes the EPC indicator to switch on should be held in the car's memory until cleared by the garage.

I'd try VW first! the aero wipers aren't usually stocked in Halfords. Actually, I bought my genuine VW ones on ebay - then had a look in Halfords - they stocked them, ie Bosch ones - its Bosch blades that were original fit to my wife's Polo. The joke was that if I had looked carefully in Halfords I...

If you mean the Seat Ibiza Cupra bushes, just buy them from a Seat main dealer. The p/n is 6LL 407 183 .

Abdnmoh, what do you mean by "custom exhaust" ? Also what engine do you have as my exhaust is u/s at the front flexi and VW want £520 or so just for the front section including second cat.

"new style ARB" - yes the original ARBs had plastic lugs or stops, as this is a torsion device, the (hard) paint ended up cracking and allowing water in to the bare metal - this caused the area under the plastic stops to expand and split the plastic stops. The newer ARBs have metal stops t...

I've checked on my ETOS parts cat and this p/n covers all models up to 9N-3Y192 695 - with or without A/C irrespective of engine type. The correct name for this part is "lock carrier".

anybody got any idea how you get the pedal box out to weld the clutch cable bracket i think its a mark 6 thanks alot!!!!! Nick :D I think that you mean a MK5 ie 6N - MK6 is 9N and has a hydraulic clutch. My daughter has an early 2002 Ibiza and I reckon her one should go bang soon - I've already lub...

I have bought Cupra bushes and will get them fitted for me soon - I emailed Powerflex as there seems to be confusion as to what form the bush takes - the rear one. I worded the question roughly as follows "what form does the TCA rear bush take - is it a complete replacement or does it complimen...

I'd get someone to check up that every thing is okay behind the bumper! The fact that the bumper cover is not destroyed is no indication to what has actually happened behind it (the expensive bits). My 2000 Passat was shunted by a 2003 Golf, my car only needed a new steel inner bumper and the bumper...

Jeff why didnt u fit the GTI Xenons Headlamps? Ive got the xtrem phillips bulbs on my 9n but there nowhere near as good as original HIDs.. :shock:[/quote] Back in 2001 all the pre-launch info, including that from VW said that HIDs would be available on the 9N Polo - they lied! I have factory fitted ...

the torque will go through the flywheel anyways not gearbox. Is someone dreaming here! As Wouter has implied, a gearbox is only made to withstand the engine loadings that it would see in normal service, but there again what an interesting concept - so you could transmit 300HP and huge lumps of torq...
