This milestone is a testament to the resilience and enduring spirit of our community. We deeply appreciate the continued support, and we look forward to many more years of shared experiences and growth together.

We appreciate the enthusiasm and commitment from our community members, and we're delighted to offer various subscription plans, including the newly introduced biannual option, to cater to diverse preferences. Your support plays a vital role in maintaining and enhancing our platform, ensuring an enriched experience for all members.
       
      Starting 11th Feburary 2024, we're implementing a modest price increase. With this, we'll also be introducing a new biannual plan.

Additionally, our Annual Plan will now renew at £8 every 1 year after the initial subscription period, but we're pleased to offer you a £3 discount on the regular yearly price, making the Annual Plan an even better value.

    • Hello Polo People,
       
      I would like to offer a repair service for some types of electric window motor module as fitted to 9N3 Polo, a few Transporters and some mk1/2 Skoda Fabia.
      At this stage it applies only to two specific, exact part numbers fitted to the driver's side front door, as follows:
       
      6Y1959801  Fitted to RHD 9N3 Polo, a few Transporters, and very early mk2 Skoda Fabias.
       
      6Y2959802  Fitted to later RHD Mk1 Fabia, from around October 2004.
       
      Left Hand Drive cars will use the other part number in each case.
       
      Note that both of these are driver's side units, the difference in part numbering is due to the orientation/positioning of the motor module on the panels they mount to in each model. 
       
      These parts suffer a type of intermittent, progressive failure where they 'sometimes work fine, sometimes don't work at all'.  This is what I can fix for you.
       
      I will test your faulty unit, confirm the problem, repair it to full working order and post it back to you for £50, total. (Non-UK residents please understand that return postage will add a little as necessary).
       
      You'd post it to me (less than 1Kg so can be sent as a first class small parcel for just £3.68 within UK at present).  I would aim to turn it round within 2 days of receipt, and send it back first class.
       
      This is the what the part looks like (mirror image of this and PN 6Y1959801 on RHD Polo):

       
      Central locking via remote will still work in the absence of the window module, so you will be able to secure the car as normal while it is away. 
      Obviously you'll want to ensure that both front windows are fully shut, as in the absence of the driver's side module the passenger side one will not operate.
       
      New units are nearly £200 from VW, and ebay 2nd hand ones with these part numbers tend to go for nearly £100.
      I will charge you just £50 including return postage.
       
      Cheers,
      Pete

      So the other day I was trying to impress a few friends of mine by "heating the tyres like they do in f1 and rally, something like this. However, I made a fool of myself because the steering wheel can go very fast in one direction. however when I try to counter steer it almost locks for a second or two. I tried for several times, I grabbed the steering wheel like Colin Mcrae did in the video and put all my body weight into the steering wheel but the thing didn't budge during counter steering. Is this normal? Is my steering box broken? Is my pump not delivering enough fluid? Is the soft springs to blame? Or do I need to invest in a gym membership? Please I need answers, so I can impress my friends with sick tyre warming skills.  Thank you.

      Well found!   Wonder if someone had pulled on the lead not the spark plug boot at some point?  
    • dvderlm
      95HP at wheels with ~15% transmission loss is ~109HP. You can get theoretical 120HP max at the crank with 34mm inlet valves http://www.wallaceracing.com/hp-valve-size.php   And the lift of the 296 will indeed help.  The 32mm chokes are smaller than the inlet valve, so that's your tightest restriction and good for your 7500rpm target. Should be fine.    WL Motorsport are selling a big valved 306° cammed Polo race engine with claimed 128PS = 126bhp. (I'll guess 58Nm at 8500rpm).   So yeah 100 to 110 wheel HP sounds doable. https://www.wlmotorsport.de/teile-fuer-vw-polo-1-und-2-fuer-1-3-l-1-6-l.html   The late closing intake valve of the 296 will also keep the Mach index in safe territory.   I have 36.2mm inlet valves with the (229° at 0.1mm?) GK cam, which also does not lift exhaust valves as far as it could.

      Have looked on vw breaker sites but nothing so far Has anyone got a cam cover bolt they could sell me please? Many thanks Phil

      Thanks for reposnding. The profile pic is my old Polo that unfortunately got destroyed in a fire, midway through some restoration work.   The car in question is a 98 , 1.4 - 8 valve and does have a 3 way plug on the dizzy.   The intermittent poor running eventually became permanent one day and she was obviously running on three. So having a look under the bonnet when it got dark, I could clearly so a spark where it shouldnt be.  There was some deterioration in an HT lead next to the metal sleeve that does over the plug. It was shorting to the metal sleeve. Prior to this becoming a permanent fault, I think there was a small amount of seepage, causing a weak spark. In varying degrees, depending on moisture present. Some silicon and insulation tape had it all insulated again. This was supposed to be a quick, get you running repair. But it has been fine ever since.  I will splash out on some new leads at some point.   I do think this was a separate issue to the original, conking out at a junction scenario. That did seem like fuel was not getting through for some reason ? But all good for now, so fingers crossed.
