UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Right this is a follow up from mY last post ive had a knock for ages and was washing the car today a d when pulled her off the drive there was the knock loud as f**k so pulled it back on the drive went inside and went on the net. And saw the engine mounts are common so went outside and had a look and saw this Monster Holy f**k thought I could hear a noise and it check out by our MOT test he said all was good guess he didn't see this Monster.

There have been quite a few that have gone like that.

Take it to vw and they should sort it.

Thanks alot going too out it back too stock completely coils out remap off and exhaust back on and going down tomorrow it's a f*****g joke man I've been saying for ages about a noise. Any tips on how too deal with the stealers?

They shouldn't be too bad it must have been noted somewhere that this isn't the first case.

The only thing id put back would be the stock suspension, the other bits shouldn't affect your warranty.

And to be fair that's a structural defect in manufacturing so it wouldn't take much to get them to sort it.

Oh - not exactly what you expect to find on a modern car, very much "not good"!

I wouldn't bother about the remap, but definitely back to stock suspension and exhaust.
Either of those visible mods may give them reason to say the chassis has been put under pressure 'beyond normal tolerances', or some such crap.

Could your recent accident have caused this? Any other damage apart from the front bumper?

No I've been going on about a knock for at least 6 months it's just got louder over time and boom today it snapped completely when pulling out of work so it's going too the stealers in the morning on recovery I've put the back box back in and took the coilovers out and giving it to them they won't even notice the map can't get the Polly Bush gearbox mount back out tho but it's not visable.
My crash only did bumper damage nothing past the bumper at all.

Dropped it off today and they said the engine needs too come out too repair it lets see what s**t crap they come up with too get out of doing it under warranty. Bloody Stealers


(Hahahaha Hope they Don't find the catless catalytic converter)

Well done too durham Vw group for being a bunch of f*****g w**k won't touch th3 car due too the bumper not being factory and finding the remap in the ECU great one so now I have too weld it myself at least it will be stronger then there s**t little spot welds. Rant over

So made a start last night preparing the mount for welding in the morning

The same has just happened to me, I’ve supported the engine and remove the engine mount. My question is how the hell did you get the metal out?

I doubt you’ll get a response from forum member @LawrenceDGraham; they’ve not been active on the forum since Jan 2020.

did you drill out/ grind pinch welds

Yes the metal is completely free just can’t get it out because of the aircon pipes, didn’t know if I could jack the engine up to try and jiggle it out
