UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

That when you post a 'never ending story' you get a billion replies.....

and when your arm looks funny...you get 15 replies...

But when you think your starter motor is botch and your trying to confirm it you get answers from 2 people....2 people!!! c'mon fellas help the lass out here!!!!!!!! you know about cars and stuff surely? thats why your here right???

Not sure about anyone else but if I don't know the answer - or don't know what I *think* is the right answer - then I won't post just to say "sorry, no idea"

Personally I only know stuff about the mk5 Polo really as thats the model that I own and love

Cheers

I tend to agree with Si there. I try and offer help on the logical problems and that, but mostly my knowledge lies in the Mk4, Mk5, and Mk7's hehe

Cheers,

Seems to me you're jealous of my special arm...

Im with the guys above... if I don't know the answer I wont post unless I feel like cracking a joke or being a smartass...

I only know how to sort problems out that I've ancountered with my car anything else is just guess work or vague knowledge.

I'm afraid I know very little about cars really - more than the average girl - but still not a lot really. So i can't help!

I know im sorry

this car is going to be the death of me though!

I guess it all comes down to the fact im far too proud to go back to the ex who bought me the damn thing and tell him i cant bloody work it!

Same here I'm afraid, I've been into cars for the last 5-6 years but no nowhere near what I'd like to.

I'm fine with cleaning and styling but as far as the engine goes it's all foreign to me

Where abouts 'nr exeter' do you live? if it aint too far i can have a look after work one day if your that stuck.

i only usually look in the mk3 section

I live in Chudleigh

I'm guna do something someone told me about checking the voltage somewhere around the starter motor, he said that doing that will be able to tell me whether it is the starter motor that is the problem, something to do with finding out if there is no voltage reaching it of if something is disconnected, i dont remember exactly what it was but they are mailing me tomoro about it.

I dont want to drag you down here! But if I cant work it out it might be an idea, I have my neighbours on the case aswell and they cant work it out.... Ill post when ive done this voltage thing to update you...

i tend not to reply because im stupid.

Yep have to agree, I'd rather keep quiet than tell you something which will turn out to be a load of useless b******t.

Good luck with your problem anyway!
