Just bought new mounts and bump stops new springs aswell the old mount wasn't budging car feels miles better.

I'm trying to replace my rear shocks, i'v removed the shock from the car and the shocks top nut but the mount itself won't detach from the shock.. It looks like it is seized as there is alot of stuff inside but when i try turning it with force the rubber bung turns around the strut so it looks like ...

One other thing don't know if it's related but my rear drum brakes are knackered up to the point they are almost seized on could that effect the brake lights. I am getting them repaired asap plus the lights are off when they would be stuck on if it was a knackered brake switch which is weird.

I just purchased it from a local car parts shop was only a few quid probably a cheap replica but i tested it and it wasn't working so i repaired it, tested it for continuity, tested the wire it plugs into that is ok. plugged it back in, changed some fuses but still they are not coming on. I have an ...

Yes the EPC light is on. Is it possible to repair the switch or just easier to buy a new one.

Having an issue with all my brake lights not coming on. I recently had problems with a flat battery which i have now fixed so not sure if that could have created a short somewhere but i have changed the fuses and about to change the brake pedal switch which i had only changed 1 year ago but if it tu...

It's not possible to move the hanger or exhaust as it is bent so it will always knock the only option i have is to cut the hanger off the exhaust completely but i have no idea what cheap tool i can use to do it?

I'v just fitted a new exhaust to my polo but the nearest hanger arm to the engine is touching the dogbone? And causing a loud knocking sound i'm not sure if the pipe is bent or if the arm has been welded at the wrong place but i don't know how to fix it. I will take a pic of the part.

Well just filled it up with gas and voila the fan is spinning and cold air is coming out the vents it's not super cold but just glad it's working now. Thanks for the replies RUM4MO.

Managed to repair the fan tested it both fan speeds slow/fast come on when i short the sensor and both speeds come on when i give it direct power. But it does not spin when i hit the AC button is it not suppose to spin? There is zero gas the AC system so my next step is to top it up with recon repai...

Had another look at the car left it running idle for 20 mins it was reading at 95c on an obd reader. It randomly turned the fan on but only for about 5 seconds then it went off again this happened every few minutes. I ran the engine and bridged the fan sensor again ran on one mode but just clicked o...

Ok thanks for your reply. I'm going to test the fan today with direct power from the battery to test both high/low speeds are working so that will rule the fan motor out. Next step will be filling the aircon with repair recon with a drop of uv liquid to spot for any leaks before i fill it with refri...

I'm trying to sort the aircon on my polo 9n but i have a problem with my radiator fan as it is not spinning. It only has the one fan and i found it had a broken wire so i repaired that, tested it and it spun on high or low i'm not sure which one but when i tested the other it just made a clicking so...
