UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Today, i decided to change both front wishbones, anti roll bars, fuel filter and the two rear caliper brake hoses ( the ones with preformed brake pipe and flexi all in one)
After changing everything and finally finishing the rear brake lines, i bled the brakes using the tyre pressure.
After tidying ...

Decided to refresh most of the switches and sensors on the polo.

So far in the last two weeks ive done:
Oil Pressure switch
Coolant Temp Sensor
Map Sensor
Knock Sensor
Crankhaft Sensor (A bastard to fit)
Brakelight Switch

Now im looking to replace the camshaft sesnor, ive been on eurocarparts ...

I sense this upsets you, haha.
I'm from Derby and rarely have encounters, but they love it in leicester.

So i was driving to Leicester this eveing, as i do twice a week, and i'd say 40% of the time since ive been visiting theres always someone around trying it on.
So tonight i was coming into Leicester towards Wigston, driving down Leicester road minding my own business when i slowed down to let an ...

Great, thanks alot

So i recently purchased some G60 Brake Caliper Carriers for the polo, but what about the Rear?
I understand that i wont really see any benefit from upgrading the rear brakes, but they look so small even on 15" wheels?

Apologies for the late reply, been away.
The part number is 0261231045, think its a Bosch unit originally

Yes mate, heres the knock sesnor

Can't quite remember Alex, would that code indicate something else?
Do you happen to know where the knock sensor is on the block, i've heard it needs to be torqued up 20nm i think, i assume it's got to be around there, hopefully not too difficult to access?

So basically decided to address a problem which i have known about for some time, i recently plugged vag com in, and came up with "Knock Signal" "Sensor too low", so i went and bought a new part to fix the problem, only issue is i can't find the location for the knock sensor.
Any help??
Thanks

So parked up today to get some parts from my local spares, popped to the shop to get some bits and bobs, and came back to find some silly slag in a silver Toyota Yaris scraping down the side of the polo.

Did this repair yesterday, and indeed the solder had cracked.
Abs light went out as soon as i connected the pump back up.

Only issue was the E5 torx bit, couldn't find one anywhere local, so i used a 4m all drive spline socket, fitted like a glove.

Yep the polo still looks fresh today!

So i was going through some old magazines today and found this little beauty, *Take note of the bottom left hand corner of the Magazine*

Did you realise your rear wiper has fallen off?
Is that really a W plate?
Is that the standard the interior ?
