UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

I just leave mine on 18 auto ac all the time, works well enough! Can be a bit noisy though.

Hi, Ever since replacing the stock wheels on my 1.4 CL (175/65 R13) with the 16v alloys (185/55 R14) I've noticed that whenever the car is on full lock the wheels seem to be rubbing the inside of the arch, as theres a very distinct grinding sound that wasnt there before. Does anyone know why this is...
