hello all...

a question from a Polo Mk4 Newbie...

I have a 97 1.4 CL..... well when it finally arrives

I'm back in the land where I've got a VW in the house, now I know about where to take my car to get sorted & serviced after 5 years with a Mk2 VW Golf.. in the Midlands, Bears in Birmingham = but NOT c&r 'adding unwanted extras can't sort it first time' enterprises


but here I am now living in West / SW London way, so apart from the local stealers does anyone have an recommended VW specialists that they could recommend for my VW Polo ?


also does anyone know if a a Mark 5 gear knob will fit a Mk 4 ?

Yes, it will.



Good luck with the new car!

cheers for that's the 1st mod

anyone got any views on garages....... well not just w/sw london .. out to the m25 and surrounding areas on the west side ???

my bodyshop is just off j8 of the m25, they are pretty good, done everything to my polo so far..... theres the number if you wanna call em 01737240744

cheers

i'm looking for a place for the routine maintenance, oil, plugs, brakes, etc somewhere where I know they will do a good job without ripping me off .. (now if I wanted that I would go to the local stealer )

I prob' won't do any 'mod's yet... expect change the brake to ventilated from non-vents but that ain't due for a while...

aftre all I take my TT up to AmD in Bicester and Wayside in Milton Keynes and I'm based in SW London ! dont trust anyone else with my TT and that's not quite local !

Hi Mate

Try http://www.autopoint.co.uk in Luton.
They did my last service on my Polo.

what about the new mk6 polo gear knob.. fits a mk 4.... ???

assuming its the same screw on type ??

You could try Wheelbase in Hersham Surrey. Independant VW specialist. I think they do some engine upgrades/ tuning too.

Never used them but friends have.
