Does that look right? The green cap on the vacuum pipe... I replaced it after my clutch was done, and for a few miles it stopped the judder in 1st accelerating. Now it is back again, and I am wondering if this is installed properly?

Think my wheel bearing has gone, and the clutch (although new) is being a bastard, and it is really hard to get into gear once warmed up... I hope it isn't the dreaded... GEARBOX! There I said it. Oh no :cry: Am going to put things on hold until I get her running sweet tbh, rather ahve a car that gets me around than a car that looks pretty and doesn't drive lol

It could be that the linkage is misadjusted. They are very fragile on the polo, and even just a millimetre out will cause all hell with shifting.
