UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Before I start this isn't a thread condoning racing or anything.. Anyway, was coming out of a flyover onto a dual carriageway last night. There was a Fabia VRS up ahead of me. So we get out onto the slip road and he wasn't going too fast so I decided to move into the outside lane. He floored it and ...

Awesome stuff Tim, that number plate bracket is quite innovative! Wish I was keeping my Polo and kept on modding it, need to save $$$ for the new car though. That said I've just dropped mine off to the bodyshop to get some dents and random bits sorted. Gonna cost me £1150

Seems reasonable to be honest. I was actually browsing at random examples on ebay and a lot are going for more than 3k. Must be holding their value well again

That was the first thing i thought of doingg!! :) exactly that. however the engine is in a very bad way its alot cheaper just to buy a new one rather than rebuild it. a couple of weeks ago we had a hell of a lot of rain, went through a massive puddle, basically a river and becuase my car is so low ...

My mum has decided to get rid of her Mk7 because the exhaust sensor keeps going at £200 a pop (this is the 4th time it's went, 1st few times it went under warranty). Now she buying a bloody Mini for 13k! Ok fair enough, the Mini is a good car, but there are so much better cars you can have (Fiat 500...

My car doesn't pull as well in the high gears, probably doesn't help with the peak torque sitting above 3000rpm

Welcome to the forum from another NE of Scotland GTI owner! I also got a replacement box from Goldings and have the same problem with you regarding ratios. The ratios suit motorway driving but I'm getting slightly less to a tank town driving because I have to stay in a lower gear :( They took my old...

I've heard of reconditioned gearboxes going just 4 months after being fitted. Mine made very slight noises for 10 months, a bigger noise for about a month then 1 day it just totally failed

I'm only gonna use the car Weds - Fri to get to work and keep it at home at the weekend. Hopefully not too much will have leaked out. The noise has disappeared too

Got to wait until Monday now until the garage can check it. What a hassle. The garage opens at 8, is a half hour drive from my house, then to get to my work it takes an hour and I start at 9 :evil: I'm assumming it should be ok to drive with a slow leak as I've heard people driving about with gearbo...

Love all those buttons and the red trim, well smart!

My Dad has just bought a year old 335d coupe to replace his Mk5 Golf GTI. He gets it next week hopefully. Beemers are so much cooler than Audi's

No doubt I'll miss mine when it's gone. Just now I'm pissed off with it as it's cost me a lot of money this year (over £1400 and counting!)

Not good. My mum said she spotted oil under my car a couple of weeks ago, but thought it was builders who had parked there a few times. Today I noticed oil under the car so I checked my engine oil and everything was ok. Having a quick look revealed an oil drip around the gearbox. I drove the car up ...

I got a brand new one, thinking of selling it as I'm getting a new car next year and need to put money towards it
