UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Just the broken one :lol: Short term I'm going back into a company car, getting a BMW 135i MSport Coupe next week - 300BHP 3.0L twin turbo straight six 8) I'm working on an old school 3 series that I'm putting a V8 into and will use that after the Coupe is 3 months old and has to go back. Long term ...

..............Ok not EVERY option box ticked but ALL except 6 cd changer, side airbags, passenger airbag deactivate or sat nav. See this link for pics of damage - better ones available ---> http://www.tigerstyle.co.uk/poloforum/viewtopic.php?t=37758&sid=55718211226e1ca6224d1323dbfae13e It was of...

Got word today that my car has been written off :D The offer to settle the claim is £12000 which I am happy about but I'll still try for more as that is their first offer. They offered to sell the car back to me for £5500 so I could keep the car and still get £6500 back. Not going to fix it up my...

Thats the problem, the chassis dont look like its bent at all, no creases in the roof or panels. I have heard from the bodyshop I got it to and they have quoted just short of 8k to sort it! Book value for my car is 10k so its looking like a write off, all depends on what the assesor says if he wants...

As it was not my fault (not even in the car) its not a big thing about the kit, but yes it is. I'v had a real close look at the car and just dont think there is enough damage to write it off - tuff little car the Polo! Anyone have any (legal) ideas of how to bump the claim up a bit. Think I can clai...

He'll get what he deserves I have no doubt about that

Cheers guys for the comments. On a brighter note I found out where the bloke lives and waited for him to get back - to make sure he was ok obviously. Had a little chat with him and he was able to produce insurance details all of a sudden. Have been taking bits off it today and have my doubts if it w...

Friday night in my house heard a loud bang, rushed out and saw a focus on its roof and my motor about 4 foot from where I parked it! I'm gutted, absolutly gutted!!!!! Bloke stank of booze, but I was pulled away from him by Police when trying to get details as he was injured (nevermind) now it looks ...

When I fitted mine had the same results as Jeff - sounds like a dodgy valve to me

.......Looking at it the Seat one would be the easy option but if you want the Forge one you would need to get under the vacuum control unit before attatching the brace. I would think the Seat one would be a better option if you have the standard airfilter as the brace needs to come off to clean/rep...

I got the front and rear brace and it fitted my GTi perfectly. I think the brace will fit under that box of tricks on the diesel strut - bit of messing around, but you can make it fit.

Just got confirmation of this from a friend who works for VW. A recall is definately open for certain chassis number Polo's for the gearbox oil but "There will be no active customer notification" basically if you dont bring it up VW wont tell you about it. The campaign number is 35A7 20167...

Bit of messing around, but nothing major. 1 hour from start to finish

Been a while since I'v done anything appart from cleaning it so I thought I'd try a new gearknob. Always liked the Mk5 Polo GTi/Lupo GTi gearknob. Managed to get one at a good price off ebay and made it fit. Little different in its feel when driving but nothing worth noting. Think it looks a bit bet...

I'm fairly sure the VW locking nuts only have about 20 variations so you should be able to order a new one through parts with your chassis number for about £20
