UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

my 6n gearbox has a single metal rod linkage that goes into the box, from the gearstick, does anyone know if it is possible to get a new second hand gearbox, which has the cable linkages, and replave the whole, box, cables and gearstick.

hope that makes sense, been to the pub all afternoon, after ...

Cheers for the info, wasn't too sure.

i have 15inch wolfrace street octanes, polished black. looking to get a black GTI like yours, so hopefully they will look pretty good.

Hi all, i have a mk4 polo 8v, very slow, hence the obsession with this forum on the site. i am looking to upgrade to a GTI. one question i would love to know the answer to is....can the rims i already have on my mk4 8v fit on to the GTI??

anyone got any ideas?? cheers

pipe looks good. nice oil leak too

hey ya

Sounds like your gonna need a new heater controls, to begin with.

and the washer pipe, if there are no leaks any where, take the cap off of the rear wiper........get a set of pliers and just pull off the little black jet.......with this out, oporate the washer, water should just poor out ...

The whirring noise usually heard after the key is turned in the ignition, is the starter motor cog that has stayed onto the flywheelfor too long. just replace the starter motor and the fault should be cured.

Are both the vehicles with this leak in the passenger footwell, 16valves with air conditioning?????????

if so, check that the condensation pipe for the a/c is going through to the engine bay properly, as it is only a short pipe, sometimes it gets wedged in the fire wall, and the condensation/water ...

yeah, all the posts about cleaning up the throttle body are right.

but by the sounds of it, u might want to go to a vw dealer and get the throttle body's basic settings re set,should only take about 15 mins, n prob worth it?

hope u get ya prob sorted, let us know...

the polo estate? i think they did one on a mk4? not too sure

hey up mate

yeah its a peice of p*** to do really

can do it without taking the door card off, open the door, and look at the edge of the door, with the lock bolts on. you'l see a screw thats set at an angle, might be covered up by a little cap, pop that off and undo the screw.

take the screw out ...

hey ya

if u were to jack your car up, then undo the top bolt on the shocks, the suspension will drop out a few inches, allowing u to drill your holes, without causing any damage to the suspension, the when your done just do up the nut again, job done.

strut braces look well good too

I agree yeah, clean up ya throttle body 1st. it is possible to reset the basic settings on the throttle body, just ask a vw garage to do that, as a second step. failing that u might be looking at a more indepth problem.
good luck

hey ya mate. im a Seat mechanic, the cluth calble is the same in an ibiza

all u gotta do is...

remove the wipers n scuttle panel, to be able to see the cable
undo it from the clutch mechanism on the g/box (2 10mm nuts)
then in the drivers footwell, the cluths pedal should be really loose now as ...

Dont really understand what u want to do?

but the black circular part in the key that your talking about is the transmitter for the immobiliser, so by scrapping this part of tampering with it, u wont be able to start your car. All keys with this black part in them have to be codded to the specific ...

wouldn't even think of getting one, you'l be idling at about 1500-1750 rpm, the engine will be really lumpy at idle, n your fuel will just be drunk by your engine. best bet is to stay clear of them.
