thanks again for your help people, i will check all these points you have mentioned.
Is the air conditioning ok in these or does this need checking too?
I will check it anyway to be safe.
Thanks again, will be on the board to tell you about it tomorrow afternoon.

Thanks for the quick reply mate, it is at a used car dealer, (not VW.)
I have printed your list off, so will go over it with a fine toothed comb....lol.
I will take my camera with me too, because i am serious about buying one of these and if it adds up to my expectations i will buy it, so i will ...

I am going to look at a Polo GTI tomorrow, it is up for £5199 on a W-Reg, 3 door, black, 51,000 Miles.
Is this about right for the asking price???
I have heard stuff about this pedal box recall, how will i know if this car has been done, and what if it has not.

Funny you should say that, i have a 1.9 and i was thinking just how quiet it was. So maybe something is wrong, or it could come with age depending on mileage etc. Diesels tend to get noisy as they get older. A regular service helps prevent this.
Have you checked that you still have a engine tray ...

Hi
I am just about to leave my house to go and look at a polo GTI but i thought i would ask if there is anything i should look out for before i go.
Also what are the performance figures.

thanks mate i will get used to the search facility before asked repeated questions in future lol.

Hi
My polo is showing a service insp on the mileage display although it was only serviced 2 months ago, what is the combination to reset the service insp. I know it can be done without computers being plugged into it because i have seen it done to my car before.
Anyone know??
Thanks

I have a 1998 polo 1.9D and i have got to the stage where i would like to have an engine conversion, i am wondering if this is possible and what engine conversion do you guys think is best.... I am serious about this.
