UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Well the car is a week away from an MOT so I'm trying to address any niggles to get her up to scratch. One which actually might cause a fail is the driver seat. Once in place its fine but if I try and adjust the seat forward or back it struggles to 'lock' back into place, a lot of bouncing up and do...

No major updates to report. I started getting a rattling noise from the rear, after some investigation it became apparent the top hat on one of my rear coil overs had given way, phoned up the supplier who had never come across the issue before. New strut ordered & fitted and we are back to a nic...

The tdi is great on economy but completely gutless, to be honest I just changed my driving style to suit. It averages 65mpg which is roughly three times more economical than the 911T, that equates to about £100pw with the mileage I'm doing. That's enough to stop me caring how quick it goes. Go for t...

Is this polo red? Got any pics? Sure I remember it from a while back

I do, its quite a heavy part so would prefer collection or meeting somewhere, where are you based?

I have for sale a sealed and brand new 1ltr bottle of Castrol 75w90 transmission fluid for the 6n2 (will be compatible with others, please check) Made a big difference to my gear changes so highly recommend getting rid of that dirty oil. Cheapest on eBay is selling for £12 posted, I'll take £8 poste...

Alex - Fair play mate certainly a grown ups car! haha cglobe - Its running great, needs a new coolant temp sensor as it idles a bit high on cold mornings and I'm sure the turbo is grumbling a little bit, no affect in performance its just making some subtle noises ringing alarm bells. I've been hitti...

Well its been a while since I've done an update, not much to tell really. The car is where I want it and has travelled 5000 faithful miles with me in the last two months. It was due an oil service so I decided it would be a good opportunity to renew the gearbox oil at the same time - not fun trying ...

Hi all, I have a set of standard 6n2 alloys for sale from the TDI http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r65/shantybeater/Polo%20Tdi%20-%20Daily%20hack/Suspension/WP_20131229_001_zps53cf29d4.jpg http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r65/shantybeater/Polo%20Tdi%20-%20Daily%20hack/Suspension/WP_20131229_004_...

Don't know of any websites I'm afraid. Short of cat back exhaust and induction kit I'd hesitate to do anything else, it gets expensive for very little gains, plus the gearboxes are a known weak point so any extra power may end up costing you more than imagined

I have a timing belt kit for the TDI which I'm happy to let go of on the cheap, drop me a PM if interested

Right so I booked in to Kwikfit for a full geometry check on a hawker laser alignment machine. Have to say I was so impressed with the service, two of them spent a good 2 hours getting my alignment back to a normal level after the coilover install/lowering. They have also asked me to come back FOC n...
