Do these bushes cause a knock even when theyre not worn to the limit as a mechanic has checked them already.

Didnt realise powerflex did the rear control arm bush. Has anyone fitted them, if so:
1. Do the powerflex rear bushes create any noticeable increase in road noise or vibration?
2. They look ...

Having spent the last 2 hours searching here and briskoda i still havent got to the bottom of whats causing the knocking from the front end of my polo.

Its a soft clunking sound, mostly occurs driving over uneven road surfaces (potholes/drain covers) and can be provoked by driving slowly and ...

Recently my cars needed 2 cranks to start first thing in the morning.

A coilpack failed 3 weeks ago and i finally changed the others 2 days ago (genuine vw parts) thinking tired coilpacks may be to blame. However it made no difference.
The car cranks over at normal speed so confident its not a dud ...

Having had my air con topped up in the warm weather in july it suddenly stopped being quite so icey cold about a month ago.

The guy at the air con place checked and its lost 3/4 of what the coolant was filled to, so he says there must be a leak somewhere. I may be dreaming it but i was briefly ...

There's a write up on briskoda for this:

The guy made a puller out of some threaded screws and metal discs. You just need an engineering firm to cut out some discs for you if you lack the tools yourself. Or as Lummox ...

I have a 1.2 55hp 52 plate for 2 years and its not a bad little car. It had 78k and now has 90k, well serviced by previous owner. Things I've had go wrong:

1. Broken front spring.
2. Broken rear spring, both front and rear broke in very cold weather so not that unusual.
3. Rear washer pipe leaks ...

Saved me cursing when I found out that you have to twist the bulb holders on the Polo . Worth every penny.

Yes i wish i knew about that when i did the bulb on my friends car. After ages of fiddling i wrongly concluded the little screws obviously needed to be removed, at which point the bulb ...

Just updating this. I pulled the pipe out again and sprayed some of that lubricant you use for window runners that doesnt degrade rubber. The hosetail went back in easier but still took a few days to seat, so the idle wandered every once in a while but brakes were always fine. Probably just needed ...

Hi, thanks for your advice. Slackening the handbrake cable at the handle end really really helped. The second thing that made the difference was removing the upper return spring. I'd shied away from removing it as i wasnt confident i'd be able to get it back on, but it wasnt under much tension at ...

Hi, i need some advice on changing the rear shoes on my car as what looked like an easy job has turned into a fiasco.

The manual said its easier taking the hub off but lacking the tools to do this i had a go anyway but could not get the handbrake cable off due to lack of space. I could grab hold of ...

HI
Sorry for long post. My friends car recently broke down and i was wondering if anyone could help with working out whats wrong. 1.05l 4 speed fox coupe

He was driving up a hill trying to over take in third gear at fairly high revs. After about 30-40s of this he felt the car was down on power and ...

52 plate 1.2 9n btw!

Hi
The servo vacuum pipe cracked on my car around the check valve (causing an eratic idle, stalling and poor brake effort for those of you who're curious).

The replacment is push fit but it was a pain to get in because of the rubber seal still in the servo. The brakes are ok but it still ...

Whilst screwing the cam cover back on my car after a head gasket change i managed to snap the head off of one of the bolts holding the cam cover on. The screw body is well and truly stuck in the hole and i was wondering if you guys had any ideas on how to get it out or if just having the left and ...

Thanks very much mate. I'll give it a go tomorrow when i get back from work and let you know how i get on. The trick with the kebab skewers sounds like a winner.
