..................I have now got the V-DUB bug

bhp addict · Post by **bhp addict** » Sun May 27, 2007 5:13 pm

Today i purchased my first V-DUB, my new Polo GTi

Heated Leathers, inc doorcards
Fair Price too tbh - 66K miles with no mods what so ever

Couple of issues tho guys and any help is appreciated

1)Not had Pedel Box done yet (dont think-how can I find out) and if not what do I do?

2)Drivers Side window not working - possible motor - had brand new motor including in sale but how easy to fit DIY??

3)On top of battery there are 3 wires (fuses?) held down with 3 10mm nuts. The connection has broken on the one nearest the front of the car. What is this for as nothing else has stopped working.

Thanks Guys for any help/advice

Looking forward to long and problem free relationship lol

(more pics to follow when rain stops!)

Nice car mate, nevermind the creases, your lucky to get leather seats! They're quite rare in polo gti's

There should either be a sticker under the carpet in the boot, next to the spare wheel stamped by the dealer, or a stamp in the service book. Those are the two most common ways it's shown.

Otherwise, any VW dealer should be able to tell you if you give them the registration number.

If not done - do I just book it in?? never had recall problem before.

Is it free?

Yeah you should be able to just book it in and get it done for free.

Don't worry about the creases, just use some Mer leather cleaner and they come up like new

Nice gti with the leather interior. I have seen your gti for sale in my area before.... Did you pick it up from Sheffield?

liking it so far - got to get used to the clutch and want to get it booked in for the pedal box to be done too

now its dry i have noticed a few more scratches (typical black car lol) you think a good pro PC polisher would get them out?

thanx
