UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Welcome to the site mate.

As said above about the window- try to re-program it.
or
Look at the following link and you'll see a fairly common fault, where a clip inside the doorcard snaps so the runner comes apart from the bottom of the window, easily fixed with a cable tie!

I've had both the faults, both now fixed with no problems or costs.

It's really down to what brand of coilovers they are!!

Some are harder than others, and some you can adjust the stiffness!!

I'm guessing that car you've pictured there is on coilovers

No dampers have 'stiffness' settings. The adjustment is for rebound, which in turn affects the ride quality.

ahhhh, learn something new everyday

right had a look at THAT window problem and i cnt see anything broken.

AS for the coilover question i saw these on ebay and are they any good?

Yes, for the price, that kit is very good

still abit lost about lowering my car.

i want it low but i still want to keep the ride quality nice, i dnt want it to bumpy!!

my car is lowered 40mm already on spring and the ride is great ans i want to keep that.

could some1 who is riding qwith 60mm springs let me know how the ride is and also some1 with coilover let me know how the ride is.

thanks

My ride isn't very hard to be honest, it can be a bit bumpy sometimes but other than that I find it fine.

running coilovers @ 65/70mm a bit bumpy not hard but the ride is much better and smoother that springs by far.

Coilovers all day long!!! Would never go back to running springs aafter running coilies!!!

so u lot are saying coilovers?

but i am still hearing that the ride is bumpy its like ur jumping in ur seat.

my punto gt turbo was lowered and thats was bumpy as hell and i dnt want the polo to be like.

but i'v done lots of research on here and see that coilovers are the better choice for looks but springs are better for ride quality.

would u say that true??

I would definately get coilovers,

Until now I wasn't aware coilovers were suppose to offer such a poor ride
