Hi....
I have a 1990 mk2 polo 1.05ltr. I am suspecting a hairline crack in my inlet manifold, which is creating running problems. Are mk2/mk3 inlets the same? I have a weber carb, will a peirsburg carb inlet manifold fit? Are the 1.05ltr and 1.3 ltr manifolds the same?

Obviously i need to find an ...

Ok, bit of an update. Done 100 or so miles since sunday when i cleaned the breathers, airbox, carb, fuel filter and thoroughly checked the system. The spluttering and cutting out is starting again, when i start up the engine idles perfect, when i set if it either cuts out or struggles to move off ...

Gonna tackle it today.... fingers crossed

Nick

how do i stop the coughing and spluttering though? is it just the remainder of the oil going through the system? does my black airbox need a thorough clean out? i have cleaned it as best i could using rags and carb cleaner.

HI....
I was in nottingham earlier today and a problem occured with my 1043cc mk2 squareback. I ended up in the Radford area of Nottm, and unbeknown to me, my oil breather underneath carb was blocked and dumped oil in and around my carb. Causing it to splutter, cough and generally break down. My ...

Hi guys....
I have a mk2 squareback (round headlight model) was just wondering, can mk3 square headlights and grill fit in place of my round ones? I know derby one's are the best bet but its getting hold of a set. Any other lights fit?

Also does mk3 front and rear seats, doorcards, rear quarters ...

My mate steve is doing that very project (Audi TT conversion), wait for it............... But its in a mk1 golf. So ur safe.

Lol, thanx, wat i meant was, there was a few millemetres of a gap inbetween the the surround and the bootlid, and i gently prised it out with no damage at all. Lol i was very carefull, i have a very steady hand.

To be honest, if car thieves want your car bad enough they will have it, my mate had his sierra cosworth stolen 3 weeks after he bought it. That had a top of the range alarm and tracker, pikeys picked it up using an hi-ab crane on a truck and 2 slings, they hoisted it on the back while he was ...

Gotta agree with tupac there, when u use a sealed box the only air that really moves is inside the enclosure. I have a much better bass now that there is two, the car just seems to vibrate with waves of bass. Love it!
Right, the surround was fairly easy really, just got a flat blade screwdriver and ...

Thanx for the help guys, went to homebase and bought a set of 48 all weather doublesided sticky pads, took the surround off and lathered the bootlid with the pads. replaced the surround, cranked the volume and no rattle - apart from the roof pmsl.

Thanx

Nick

Many thanx for the help guys, will refit the spoiler using the recommended equipment. I'm surprised that the spoiler hasn't fallen off yet. I have a front component set waiting to be fitted in the front, however, i have no idea where to fit them, would it be best to cut away half the door pocket and ...

Hi guys....
i have 2 rockford fosgate subs in boot of my mk2 polo squareback. They sound awsum, however, the black plastic rear window surround rattles like a mother f***** and it sounds rubbish. Not sure if its a kind of spoiler or just a surround. Shall i take it off? Dont really want to but the ...

I heard the news too, he was a top bloke. Go to ur local's everyone and order a pint of "snakebite" and raise ur glass and toast the real life crocodile dundee. A real snake and croc hunter. R.I.P. my friend .
