il try and make it...if the cars workin. Just been in 4 repair as the timing slipped causing £1000 worth of damage - not covered by VW (or so they say) so had to pay it all myself

Just found out today, after a week that it is the timing that has slipped. Never heard of this as its chain not a belt. Just waiting to get a cost - not looking forward to it tho

forgot to mentoin this to you mate. Although your car is out of warranty, VW will still replace the coils free of charge (as it is a recognised problem of this engine, they have extended the warranty o 5years).

Just incase you go elsewhere and end up paying about £120 to get it done when you will ...

hey, its one of your ignition coils which have packed in. This is a common problem. You are now better replacing all of them (about £25 a go and theres three) and then you will also need the ECU re-set.

nah it was only sitting around for a day yesterday. The battery in it was good. I think it may be the imobiliser. The key does need to be programmed so it does have an imobiliser. Do you need the car and key to get them re-coded at VW??

Hey,

Went out to my 1.2 12v 02" polo this morning and it wont start. Its turning over but just wont start. Done the usual with WD40 but theres still no life.

Any ideas??

Hey, jst started my ICE install into my 9n. Have already put in a Pioneer 5700 Screen/DVD player, infinity ref 165mm front speakers and Kappa 6*9 in back. Coming up is an Infinity Kappa sub (or mabe 2) and a mono amp to run it (probs the Infinity 611) and another infinity amp to run the 6*9's ...

ye i hav obv made sure they are fully up and they are!!! but they still leak

Hey, just wondering what problems you have all had with your 9n's.

So far, on my 02' i have had:

Ignition coil failure
Fire in front headlight
Leaking rear door seals
Rear wiper did not clear properly

I think its time to get rid of it soon n get a Corrado VR6

you should just need to use a plastic primer, then a couple of coats of paint (best keep it thin) then a few coats of laquer!!

no i know it aint because of the price of petrol (have taken that into consideration) and i always keep it below 3k revs when its cold.

its a wierd 1.

usually i would get 100miles from £10 of fuel. now i only get 80miles.

ye it is but does it need replacing? does the air flow meter need replaced? will the ecu need re-mapped and the code erased??
