UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

I have used replacement ones from GSF in the past (£35-£40 IIRC) but they were rubbish, kept arching across leads, the replacement plastic holder didn't fit. I have non-VW ones on mine at the moment but lead 3 is now refusing to stay on for some odd reason....guess time for me to go for some origina...

rothe motorsport do them http://www.rothe-motorsport.de/gallerien/autos/vw/Polo%206N2%201,6l%2016V%20Turbo%20-%20222PS/slides/13_044_001.html 220BHP...I think it's around 7,000euro's for the parts or 12,000euro's all done.... They have a lupo GTi conversion running 265BHP much better value to go the...

did you get a chance to look as yet Alex? cheers mate

magic, cheers fella

it's the centre...so yes would take if you have

alloy had a split in it...so if anybody has a spare they want to sell please let me know

cheers

thanks very much for the response...will give that a go and see how I get on....i don't know for sure but i would probably wager they have been refurbed at some point...given their condition and age....

it's definately the wheel making the noise, i have stuck my spare on and not a sound

I have a terrible noise from my driver side front wheel, just had both front wishbone replaced and noticed there is "play" between the 2 rims on the driver side front wheel...I am happy enough to torque up the rim bolts to see if that cures it but has anybody else had this? I'm pretty sure...

Also worth checking the cables back from the sensor, they are very prone to breaking, especially after gearbox work.

On my first GTi I had the gearbox done at 86k but it was still going strong with over 180k on the clock before some lass rear-ended me in the snow earlier this year...i then brought an Alfa which I kept for about 3 months, nice enough car 'n all but I really missed my GTi so I got rid and got anothe...

love those wheels

As others have said not worth converting the 1.6 Rothe motorsport do a turbo conversion (only about 12,000 euro's fitted!!!) which gives 222ps and 321nm no performance stats for the Polo but they also do an identical Lupo GTi conversion which gave a figure of 0-62 in 6.7secs - hardly worth the cash ...

Think mine might have the same problem - it seems much worse if I've been sitting in traffic for a while?!?!?! my garage said I had a small play in one of the rear bearings - so will get it replaced and see if that cures the noise

not sure on the price of the sensors but i cant be to much say £50 tops (please dont quote me on that tho its just a guess) to clean them just take the rear brakes off and they are behind the discs. I had mine replaced at 20 something quid each - ended up needing a new abs pump thou - that cost £...

I was closing my boot when the right hand side arm came off it's connection on the boot lid itself, it was too late to stop the boot closing and it has jammed shut at and nasty angle - i tried to open it but there was a clonk and the boot opening handle now appears to be attached to nothing. My open...
