Thanks poloboi, and thanks for the welcome (again) I must admit, I do tend to lurk on here more than I post, but thats mainly due to the reliability of the car - when its working fine, I sort of take it for granted I guess...

Thanks again

16v bumpers on an 8v...

Hi all, I'm relaively new to this board - but not new to Polo ownership as I've had mine for a couple of years now...

Anyway, My other half has just reversed into a piece of rock or concrete concealed by some weeds, and dented the rear valance right in front of where the standard exhaust exits ...

I've recently purchased a MK4 Open Air in Dragon Green, and I can see the open roof being a great luxury for the summer... Didn't know they did a 16V version though...

my only worry was the insurance being more than with a tin topped one... but my insurance company only recognise it as a 1.4CL ...

SO, I've just had the Gearbox leak done by my garage... only cost 35 quid... Marvellous!!

Petrol gauge wont work??

Hi all,

I posted something similar to this in the mkIV section of the forum, but I thought with it being electrical, this would be a better palce......

My 1998 MKIV 1.4 CL, Open Air (S reg) has a problem with the petrol gauge. The majority of the time, it reads a quarter of tank, even though the ...

Thanks for the reply Speedlaw... Thats reassuring at least!!

AKs_SlickPolo: I've checked the fuses and all is well I'm afraid... I suppose if the fuse had blown, the gauge wouldn't read anything at all - but mine is kind of juddering and ticking on startup and when turning the engine off - I'm ...

Petrol gauge wont work at all. Its not ...
