Re: Well.. My GTi is being sold...

Thanks boys! I just couldn;t fall in love with the Polo for whatever reason.. I'm an old-skool kinda guy. Pick up the GTi on Thursday. @ Bradley.. yeah, an earlier type fusebox, did all the research.. Nothing a bit of splicing can't sort out.. Best thing is.. My insurance is cheaper on a mk2 GTi ABF...

Don't tempt me..

I always do this.. Sell my Polo because I'm bored of Polo's and want something else.. Then end up buying another Polo.. I've had about 15 of them now! I mustn't do it again...

Well.. My GTi is being sold...

Well... My Polo GTi.. probably the best car I've ever owned.. It's reliable, efficient, comfy, precise, has some good pace, sound gorgeous, looks gorgeous and gets comments where ever I go. It's the best car I've owned; but for some reason It's not my favourite.. And I don't know why. It the longest...

Re: Rear wheels bare within 2k, any ideas what's wrong?

Have you lowered your car more or less since fitting the tyres?

Lowering a car with a solid rear beam is known to induce tow-in which could be the issue.

Re: Stiff/Sticky gear change

Well,

This morning it was stiff for like a minute, then it's gone back to normal and was ok for the entire morning commute.

I'm guessing something has got into the linkage somewhere, maybe in the rubber grommet on the cables or something.. Stupid winter.

Stiff/Sticky gear change

I noticed this morning when I got into my car that the gear change was very stiff compared to normal.. Almost sticky. I first initially thought ice may have got onto the cables or something.. But it did it for the entire 30 minute commute to work. Same issue one the 45 min commute back, although, li...

1.4 16v (75bhp) EPC and Engine light on...

Posting on behalf of my mate... He's got a 2001 1.4 16v (75bhp) and has an intermittent fault for ages. The EPC light comes on randomly, as does the engine management light. When the car is turned off and started again the EPC light disappears then will come back on again in a few miles. I've VAGCOM...

Re: Verity's Reflex Silver GTI

Dents suck!! I paid like 300-400 quid 9 months ago to make the car dent free. I have about 3 more now due to negligence and inconsideration from other drivers. Pisses me off so much.
