Hi,

I know most of these do nothing like they're meant to, so I'm not too optimistic but does anyone have any experience of Brisk spark plugs (which claim to increase BHP)? Are they worth using versus say NGK/Bosch spark plugs?

Given I've got the 3 Cylinder version of the car, I would like every ...

I couldn't see it, but as soon as I could I went from "average outside lane of a british motorway" speed to below the speed limit (50mph dual carriage way) so hopefully nothing will have happened. It was probably 200-300 metres away when I saw it and braked

So,

from how far away can they catch you? (the van type)

Would they be able to "see" over a hill?

got told today this could be the "timing chains slipping out of time and stretching" is this likely?

so what would I need to ask the garage I choose to do the work? Word for word ideally, as I want to see if the local place can do it before I try to find a decent VW indep

I got quoted £215 + VAT (including a 15% discount) for regular polo bushes.

sorry to bring up an old subject but how much did the work set you back?

Just got the coil packs changed - to no avail (before I changed the coil packs I had intermittent misfires in cylinders 1 and 3 according to vagcom). Any idea what it could be? I can clear the fault registers then try again.

I phoned VW and they're gonna get back to me, which probably means they won't.

Anyhow, this happened again last night and the check engine light came on while I lost power but once it recovered it went off again (the light).

Hi,

Looking at the throttle body there's not much to clean but under the flap thing which the air filter clicks on to the edge of, the pipe was oily around the edge, is that correct?

Vag-com doesn't report the coils, however could it still be the coils and if it's a common fault do VW have any ...

Hi,

I'll try the throttle body - with the ECU is it best to just phone the local dealership and ask?

Thanks

Hi,

This is a 55bhp 2002 polo 1.2 (the 3 cylinder one)

My polo loses power when it's been at 70ish for more than a couple of minutes, often dropping it to 4th or 3rd then back up returns the power but not always.

Here's what I've tried so far:
