Alright guys, I have gone out and bought myself a rather tasty Clio 182, I have decided to sell the polo on ebay as a whole as I don't really have the time to take her apart, thanks for your interest, will be sad to see the Polo go :(

This forums been really helpful and friendly i'll be sure to pop ...

Crazy as it seams but sometimes these cars are worth more in parts :/

I'd say in it's current state about 500 ( Tax 225 plus engine 400-500 ish ) . At GTI with over 120K is worth little overt £1000 sadly. Even though yours is very clean.

Yeah I think your right mate, hasn't got much going for ...

Gutted for you mate..... :(

Cheers mate

so, are you gonna sell whole car? Are you gonna leave it for parts? I'm looking for gearbox, so if you thinking about to strip it down for parts, PM me ;) I'd be interested in front and rear bumpers if you do split it. How much for the whole car?

Still ...

Your right it sounded deeper down in the engine but I was clutching at straws really, thought it was worth a punt instead of the 1100 the first garage had quoted!

Well they have stripped the head down and after checking the valve train they have told me its coming from deeper down in the block in cylinder 1 and repairing it will cost in a best case scenario of £1000.

Its come at a time where my tax is about to run out and the mot is due next month so maybe ...

The engines dont seam that expensive its just the labour costs pushing it up to over a £1000 I like to do most of the work on my own car but I dont think I have the tools or the know how to do an engine change.

First place suspect the rods and the second place who stripped the head said its coming ...

Yeah turns out it is serious and its going to cost to much to warrant getting it repaired, think I'm just going to have to sell it as spares and repairs

Video would be useful, It pelted it down on the way home from work too and i couldn't believe how little grip the road surface had..

Here's a video: (hope that's worked)

Took it to two garages though, one said I ...

Hi Guys,

Today on the way home from work less than 500 yards from my front door the heavens opened, the road filled up with water so quickly it was unbelievable and my polo sucked up a load of water and I have spent the last four hours trying to get her going again. I have got her to start now and ...

It could well be a combination of the selector seal and the driveshaft seals. I had a leaking driveshaft seal on mine and replaced both sides when I had the box off to do the clutch

Gearbox oil smells different to engine oil, so it's quite easily identified.
Mine is also leaking quite bad ...

Hi all,

My Gti has developed a bit of an oil leak from the gear box, its not the selector shaft seal.

Its had a little leak which I have been monitoring for a while around the blue circle (see picture) but recently its started getting a lot worse and making a rate mess of the drive!

I'm doing a 100 miles a day in my Polo on the commute to work mainly motorway driving

I can get about 44 MPG quite easily as its only the last 5 miles or so that i'm in built up areas.

Once got it up to 48 MPG but I am talking some seriously anal driving here, just wanted to see how far I could ...
