Re: Confused over timing belt advice

Is there any way I can check this, not being a mechanic; it would be fantastic if it was only the rockers that were cooked?! As I mentioned elsewhere, it can't be the chain as first suggested, else the engine wouldn't turn over, and if it's what you suggest, (rockers), that would be ...

The RAC man turned it over, said straight away what he [thought] it was, you can hear knocking in the engine, so it's proper fooked. He said he can hear the air escaping where the valves are bent and not sealing

Re: Timing Belt Change

My Son has a 1.2 2014 Polo 4 door, just spent almost £900 on new clutch, shocks and others bits and pieces, he's only has 64k on the clock, I've been using it for work and it has been fine, I parked up a few days ago, and went to start it the next morning, and it wouldn't go, it just kept turning ...

Re: i have polo 6r i want upgrade steering wheel from golf 7 it's possible to installing

I’m looking to do the same for my Sons car, he has a 2014 Polo Match, which doesn’t have steering wheel controls.

I have been told I can get it wired in, ready for a flat bottom multifunction steering wheel like the one in this post, for £120.00 + vat. They can’t guarantee how much functionality ...

Steering wheel question still stands :0)
