the faulty PCV valve idea is interesting - Im going to look into that - and will report back. I don't think its the valves as it runs really sweetly when its up to speed..? Is it easy to diagnose / test the PCV valve? Jonathan This may help. Search in file for Crankcase Breather or Diaphragm valve....

It's difficult to see from the pictures, but my first guess would be the valve cover gasket. Have you removed the black plastic engine cover and inspected the engine further? You could clean the engine up and after a few kilometers check if you can find the source by following the leak's path upwards.

You didn't mention which type of engine you've got. Mostly on the left side of the engine on the intake manifold. Google it and you'll see where

Try plugging an obd reader onto the car. There may be some fault codes stored in the ECU which might point you in the right direction.

Most common rough idle problem for these vehicles is a clogged crankcase breather hose, PCV valve and/or EGR. The breather hose is on the left side of the air filter and goes down to the PCV (positive crankcase ventilation) valve on the back of the engine. The EGR is located on the right front side ...

It could be that your fuelpump has died. You can replace the pump once you're 100% sure that it's not working properly. If you drive on an empty tank there might be a chance your fuel filter (or the fuel lines) became clogged with gunk. You can replace the fuel filter and while the filter is unplugg...

Nice Karmann dude. I had one of these as my wedding car, it's a very nice car which you don't see often. Yours looks in very good shape

Has this been like this for a while or just recently? It might be the gear selector which is giving you a headache, to be honest I don't see anything which might me causing the problem. The bushings look fine to me. But then again....I'm not an expert either. I do know that the gear selection can be...

Imo around the 60.000-65.000 miles or within 5 years would be safe to change the cambelt. But if you have the owners manual you will find it in there. Changing the cambelt is not a cheap repair because of all the work involved, so if it's being changed you might as well make the extra effort to chan...

Nice Polo, I've got a 95er as well. You already know what type of wheels you're going to fit under your Polo?

P.s: the last 2 photos aren't visible for me.

Another job done :mrgreen: https://thumbs-eu-west-1.myalbum.io/photo/1k0/6a008d3a-78c3-42b4-9abe-00738e9a1350.jpg https://thumbs-eu-west-1.myalbum.io/photo/1k0/707ddb97-f2ba-468a-b05e-93634e7d7d70.jpg I must say that I'm really happy with the results. Just need some yellow (or gold) H3 bulbs for the...

Headlights with electric height adjustment are fitted and working perfectly. Made my own wiring loom adaptors because I didn't want to chop the original loom. The 6n headlight motors aren't the same as 6n2, so I had to find out each wire's function. Also found a leather steeringwheel and bought that...

Yesterday I've done the real first trip with the Polo, I drove for 150 kilometers and she behaved very well. I also went to the breakers yard and found all the 6N2 parts which were missing. The interior is now complete, the only missing parts are 6N headlights with electric height adjustment and the...

Just went through your whole thread real quick. What an insane amount of adaptations, retrofits and upgrades. Petje af to you sir
