Finally ive fixed my polo's never ending carburettor troubles

The car would stutter horribly when pulling away, the problem turned out to be a semi-broken accelerator pump

So i replaced it with one of another carb i bought from bluegirl and the car runs absolutely perfect, Its become a joy to drive

So now im not sure what to do...

My brain tells me to keep my boring fiesta, but my heart says go Polo

I just wish i had been able to fix the carb before i bought my fiesta

does the fiesta have a forum with as cool people as us?

glad you got it sorted, my car judders a little bit occaisionally when pulling away, what exactly was wrong as kindof intrigued me a bit, rarely does it but does it occaisionally

Glad to hear you've got it sorted Hypojam.

Now get the SSA working and polish her up... no-one else will have one like it

The problem is with fiestas that there are so many on the roads and the majority are Barry Boy tweaked. If your fiesta's about to blow up then i'd get rid before.

I dont think it gonna blow up any time soon, but it is using a hell of alot of oil

Its done a fair amount of miles, 92k's worth, so its probably just worn piston rings...

Never mind, i have no love for the fiesta so i will keep ragging it till it does eventually die

my mates fiesta was buringing oil at a litre a week, then it failed its MOT when it starts blue smoking kick it in the head and sell it, not worth repairing for what they cost
