CEEBUBYA SAVED ME A FORTUNE!

My polo is eventually fixed and for all those who helped me try to fathom out what was wrong it was infact the coil. She is now running well....
Euro car parts wanted £58.00 for a new coil, turned out to be the wrong one as they gave me a 3 pin coil where as mine in a 6 pin and they had never heard of this
VW wanted £113.00 + vat for a genuine 6 pin coil.
Ceedubya noticed that my coil was the same as that on his vr6 so we used the box from the vr6 and cleaned up the terminals on my existing coil and put it on the vr6 1......
As a result it cost me f*** all and i have a mint running polo again
Even if on the way home my exhaust did fall off! I'm cursed!!!
