Re: V-Belt life time

Okey, I will see if there any minor cracks on rubber.

In this case, I will replace the belt and the tensionner also.

V-Belt life time

Hello boys ! New question today concerning our dear, and beloved Polo. The V-Belt and it's life time. We are (almost) agree on the life time of the cambelt (around 180000 km/210000 km) for EA211 engine. But for the V-Belt, nothing is indicated, even in the officials's VW workshop manual. There is no...

Re: Rattle center dashboard

Hopfully, I'm not concerned by this one, even it's a well know issue.
Last year I had to remove steeringwheel airbarg to change my steeringwheel and put a new one.

No noise coming from the airbag but one, sligthly coming from the rotating ring behinde (1 month after). Digusted :?

Re: EA211 Oil Catch can

I might go with just a diesel transfer hose type if it's not too rigid. All the silicone hose I see around from the performance shops here is just air hose. They state chemical resistance, but I doubt that. I am looking to replace the airbox to turbo intake hose with a silicone hose which might get...

Re: EA211 Oil Catch can

Little by little (step by step), you will surely find the right hoses for that place. I have to make an order from...a UK/swedish sellers because in France, nothing available. Very small choice. But I would like to go fast, when I removed the charge pipe, it was already covered by a thin lawer of o...

Re: EA211 Oil Catch can

Thanks, but I have to found how to fit correctly hose. And it's quite hard.
Silicon, impossible: they are not designed for oil/fuel vapours.

Nitril hose, yes, but they are thick and it's hard to fit them in a small space. And I don't want to creat to much stress on parts.
