UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

just drove into town and saw a polo mk2 with its bonnet up and hazzards on, thought oh no the poor old things conked out

got a bit closer and it was jump starting a new vectra that had conked out in town

haha class, dude you should have gone got a camera!

Didn't think a Mk2 would die that easily did you?

Mk2's are great for jumping other cars, as there's no complex electronics to screw up (I wouldn't dare try it with my escort).

There's also room in the scuttle for a pretty hefty battery, I used to run mine off a tranny battery. I've jumped 2.5 diesel landy's off it without the engine running absolutely no problem, then still been able to start the polo's engine.

A while ago I was driving my old polo past a friend's house when I saw him outside with another friend, peering under the bonnet of his yaris. Pulled over, found out that his battery had died so I jumped the yaris off the polo. Polo 1, Yaris 0. My friend's mum then went to move her saxo, and found that it too had a dead battery. Moved the polo round, jumped the saxo no problem too Polo 1, Yaris 0, Saxo 0 Obviously polos are made of sterner stuff

fair play....... iv jumped LOADS of cars!! lol.... too many to recall!

hehe but GC i remember someone jump starting u at the Viking Run last august!!

Ah, well that's true.. and at E38, three times..
Can't have it all I guess

ah very true, but then u found u had no oil in the gearbox or sumthing??

*Ahem*
Would I ever do anything silly like that.. I mean, of -course- I would think to check the gearbox oil having fitted a new box..

its all good experience, owning and maintaining an older car eh!!

ahh the memories! i'm sure there is picture evidence of GC polo 0, ade's polo GT 1.

i wouldn't dare jump anything in the G too much to go wrong

lol.........

polo 487... me...0
