UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

here are some problems that have to be fixed and that are essential. i am open to any help and suggestions and feel free on comenting and telling me what i should do, and just to let you know i bought the car like this, here are some pictures.

thank you

first picture is the carpet every time i put it back in the groove it comes out again really starting to bug me



second picture is my engine and the air filter that came with it, i dont like it and i need a cheap and easy way to move it fast it has taken a layer of the carpet on ma bonnet il show you on the next picture.





these 2 pictures are of my alloy wheels that yes came with the car when i bought it they have seroius disadvantages, for example loosing power, to heavy and they scrap on the arches.





and last of all i want you to have a look at my pioneer head set that i put in.

it hasnt displayed any pictures

i think the problem is there are no pics of the problems so thats a big problem having no pics of the problems

sorry about that guys there you go.

OMG whomever put that air filter on is the dumbest person ever!

In place of this is just an intake pipe matey, get to a scrappy or the dealer for a replacement. The actual air filter is in the box which it leads too.

i know shall i remove the box and put a pipe with the air filter at the end of it.

Easiest thing to do for the time being would be to just simply remove the air filter from the pipe and leave the pipe as it is matey

Until you can fund the original piping

i found a picture that i think is a cheap way to get around this problem take a look at this guy air filter and the way he has done it.

Its all fine and well doing that matey, but id much rather have the standard panel filter set up though mate...Especially since having the air filter like in that picture you just posted the air filter is poorly situated in as much as it will not get a good feed of air

Cheap = Fail

Cheap = Fail

Indeed.... putting an induction filter on top of the engine like that is just stooopid!


Go to a scrappy or VW and get the air pipe that links the air box to the intake on the front high hand side of the car in the wing....to return it to standard...

Those wheels hurt my eyes.. find a decent set of standard BBS RXII and fit them instead and burn those hideous things!

Have your rear brake calipers been worn down (where the red paint is missing) by those wheels?

The carpet looks like it may have possibly shrunk at some point. Either that, or its not hooked into its mounts properly.

A new one is near £150 from a dealer, so a scrapped 3 or 5 door is what you need to find!

i dnt actully know mate like all i thought is they need re painting and thats it really.

Get rid of that air filter fast. It must be draining a lot of performance from the engine by sucking in hot air. Wheels are horrid, get a nice set of BBS. Your head unit looks really nice
