Quick update to this. The garage have not looked at it properly yet but said water pump is a possibility because it doesn't appear to be circulating.

Any thoughts are really appreciated.

Just paid a small fortune to replace a cracked exhaust manifold. Took it on a long journey the day after and an hour in the wife who was driving noticed the temp light flashing and the gage was maxed out. As we pulled off the road steam started coming out of the engine. So we switched off and manage...

Not been changed for a while. I suppose I need to get under the car then and have a look! The cat is probably around the area where the noise is so it sounds feasible.

Had this pretty severe rattle for a while, it's intermittent. Whenever I take it to the garage for something else they never sort it out. Pissing me off now! It seems to be worse at high speed when going round a fast bend. At first I thought it was coming from the back but I think it might be the ha...

Cheers, will do

Cheers mate. Much appreciated!

Do you think it's worth getting done at a VW dealer? I've missed a few so it's not like i got a record to preserve... By the way was the £117 price from a VW garage?

Turns out VAG parts doesn't exist anymore, there's another website with the same name but they just do classifields. Show's how long it's been since i've done any mods!

Yeah had mine done when i bought my car a few years ago. VW fitted them and they tried to feed me a load of crap like it'd need a new wiring loom and they'd have to take the bumper off. Turns out they were wrong, it's really easy and well worth doing as they look sweet. There used to be a guy on her...

Anyone else had any experience with this error code then?

Cheers
Nick!

My 2001 polo is on about 62 thousand and I've been ingnoring the service light for a bit. Anyone know what needs doing / ball park figure to get it done?

Cheers!

Also had my cam belt/tensioners and water pump changed already

Recently had my 2001 6n2 MOT'd at the local nationwide garage. The day after my labda probe sensor came on. I went back and complained so one of the guys plugged in thier generic com port code reader which came back with '16894 bank 1 catalyst system efficiency too low'. They also noticed that the e...

Thanks for all the advice! got it changed and didn't cost me that much extra, the bloke showed it me afterwards and it didn't look in very good shape so was well worth doing!!

Did everyone get there's sorted, I've got a similar problem with mine it's never crunched but it's sometimes really difficult to get in gear but fine other times.

Do you think? When i spoke to him tonight he didn't even sound sure himself whether it needed doing, i think he said that the bearings got wore down his sons golf but I've never heard anyone mention anything about water pumps on here
