UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

I was supplied with two keys with my polo, both of which are an abomination and neither open the car remotely.

It does outline in the handbook remote central locking but it looks like an optional extra, am I correct? What is the best method of replacing my keys? can the blades be switched?

I did see thanks Kish, after going a bit crazy on service parts I may have to pass on this one

Good luck with the auction

Cheers mate, did you say you had carried out the task? did you use an engine hoist? I found several articles suggesting jacking the engine just enough to remove one of the engine mounts?

Hi All,

Has anyone carried out a cambelt change on a 1.4Tdi before? I've trawled the web in an attempt to find a decent DIY with very little luck so any guidance (Do's & Don'ts) would be greatly appreciated!

Yep £30 on a 1.4tdi. That's 10% of the cost to tax my toy! bargain!

They are Aluline Turbines, I have to agree they don't look bad at all and would a lot better with a refurb. They look to sell for reasonably decent money so I may end up switching for some RXII's

That really is a stunning car, why the move to an octavia? More space I'm guessing?

Afternoon all, Some of you may not remember me but I was an active member some 7+ years ago when I took to a 6n2 GTi as my first proper car, this was the end result: http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r65/shantybeater/e3807003ht0-1.jpg Absolutely loved that car and still miss it. After much delibera...

Interested in the silver, how much ££ we talking?

Hi All, About to pull the trigger on a very high mileage 6n2 tdi. Above the ordinary checks is there anything specific you recommend looking out for? Also this is my first diesel, am I supposed to look for any different engine characteristics? e.g. cold starts/idle/smoke I used to own a 6n2 GTi so I...

After a cheap 6n2 tdi only, quite happy to take on a bit of a project if price reflects, no major gearbox or engine woes though please..

Cheers

that is looking proper tidy, very OEM+

Alright mate just dropping in, the new car looks nice! Have to say the new shape polos are the first ones I've liked the look of since the 6n2's!

Alright guys, still wander in and out of here once in a while. Glad to see some familiar faces do the same and some are still active! Wow my post count looks insignificant compared to yours Alex haha!

Wow been a while since I had a uk-p notification come through! Can't say I ever got to the bottom of this though so can't help!
