Re: Shantybeater's TDi Progress thread

Ok so I have successfully wired up the washer jets to the windscreen washer motor, originally the plan was for this to be a temporary fix but they only activate once the washer button is held for several seconds so I can pick and choose when to use them. I do have a problem though, both washers come...

Re: Hello! New member from Leicester!

Hi Mark,

Welcome! this section seems to be quite dead! I'd try posting in the 6n section to see if you get more response. Will keep an eye out for a build thread :)

Hi Rui,

Welcome, i'm down in Bournemouth so a little trek from you, have you tried clubpolo.co.uk as well? there tends to be more active meets on that forum (but this one is better! ;))

Re: Shantybeater's TDi Progress thread

Bit more progress, I'm trying out a transparent film for the headlights since the previous owner had VW protectors fitted and the lenses are in great shape, it's gone ok but not perfect, will see they hold up to some mile munching: http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r65/shantybeater/Polo%20Tdi%20-%2...

Re: Bought a VW UP! What to do with the GTI?

I think you've done the right thing. I also think hanging on to the GTI is the right move, I'm not one to get that attached to cars (i generally swap every 2 years) but I have all too often regretted a sale. If i had kept a car for 8 years I'd be devastated to let it go. 6n2 GTI's are not a common c...

Re: Shantybeater's TDi Progress thread

Re: PURCHASING SECOND HAND COILOVERS.. GOOD IDEA?

I've bought barely used coilovers before but that's when the price difference was £900 compared with £1400 When you can pickup a set of new FK's for £180-£190 I see very little benefit especially with the amount effort you will go to(or pay) to have them fitted. You don't even know what brand they a...

Re: Shantybeater's TDi Progress thread

Little update, a member was breaking his GTI so I thought it was a good opportunity to upgrade the tailgate. De-badged immediately! http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r65/shantybeater/Polo%20Tdi%20-%20Daily%20hack/Tailgate/WP_20131116_004_zps7a594322.jpg Two birds with one stone since the old one wa...

Black 6n2 Bootlid with third brake light

I have a black 6n2 bootlid available with glass and working third brake light. Paintwork & Window is good condition excluding some rust which has come through under the handle.

Only want a tenner for it, all trim and components inside are still there

Collection only from Bournemouth
