Crunching 1st & 2nd gears on a new 2018 SEL
Sheps posted a topic in Engine, Transmission and Exhaust
Hi All I should start by saying that I'm not particularly into cars or the mechanical side of things but I thought I'd treat myself to a bit of luxury after going through two highly reliable Ford Ka's that got me the short distance to and from work without kerfuffle for 15 years. In May 2018 I picked up my brand new SEL. I immediately noticed that the 1st & 2nd gears were quite difficult to engage on occasion particularly when compared to 3-6 that were/are very smooth. Basically, they were crunching. I put this down to the car being brand new and running in. After several weeks though I took it back to the dealership and they said it was just a running in issue. I got to about 1,000 miles a few weeks later and returned the car as gears 1 & 2 were still crunching. I subsequently booked it in for an inspection and they said that there was a fault and replaced the clutch. Obviously I wasn't too chirpy about this as by this point I had only driven about 1,500 miles although I was relieved that the issue was supposed to have been solved. (I bought a VW because I thought they were supposed to be reliable). Initially gears 1 & 2 were better after the new clutch was fitted but the crunching has now returned. I now have about 2,500 miles on the clock. Obviously, this is a concern! Interestingly, the basic Golf that I was given as a courtesy car when they were fitting the new clutch also had 'sticky' 1 & 2 gears although they weren't crunching. This car was a few years old with about 25,000 miles on the clock. Due to my lack of mechanical prowess I don't want to be fobbed off when I return to the dealership yet again. I would appreciate your views please. Ta Sheps -

Hi, I'm Tim, currently living in the Netherlands, where they say the grass is greener . Having grown up in a Volvo family I'm now making my foray into VWs! Here is my ''new'' Polo 1.4 8V (09/2000): Sadly an automatic, but for the mileage (170k kms), MX history, condition inside+out and the price - undeniably a steal. I'm looking at lowering it on a good+cheap (i know) spring+shock combo or coils, OEM wheels maybe from the GTI? Or mk4 Golf hubcaps... but keeping it simple and clean for now. Looking forward to being a member of this community!

Hey Guy's picking up my Polo GTi tomorrow (9n3) red 3dr. swapped my stage 2 focus ST (absolute beast, only in a straight line) to build what will hopefully be a track weapon. I will be starting a build thread towards summer, my first question will be does anyone have a picture of a car on Eibach pro-kit springs? I have got a set until I decide what coilovers to purchase! Thanks!

Hi All After a wait of almost 4 months I finally took delivery of the new Polo GTi today and WOW what a car. Going from a 1.3 diesel Corsa the first drive was like being a kid again and going on some test drives today I am very impressed with the car. So attached some photos for you to have a look at.

So i'm new to the forums but having owned my 9n since January 2015 thought id post, it's my first car having passed the week before i got it. I recently spent some time fixing some issues i had with it, and then set to making it a little more interesting.. When i first got it the front left suspension spring had snapped clean in half so had to be replaced, there was alot of moisture inside, the exhaust was worn out and the clutch went within around a month. So all in all an expensive start. But i picked up a full new exhaust, suspension and clutch and then 4 new tyres all that was left was the smaller bits. The gear knob gaitor had worn through so i picked up a new one, soon to be a pool ball knob. i installed new fogs at the front and yellow'd them with film too. black badge at the front wind deflectors black steels new gear knob de badge de wiper foot well LED's relocated number plate soon to have- Hydro dipped blue engine cover, K&N 57i air filter hopefully. considering 9n3 rear lights i want to drop it but due to carrying alot of weight with work I'm struggling to justify it. Here are a couple of photos

Hey guys! Hopefully getting a Polo very soon and was wanting a 6r, 1.2 or 1.4 or if money allows, 1.6 S/SE/SEL (don't really mind just love Polos) Was just wondering what the main, most common problems are? Looking at examples of around £7k mark with around 20-25k miles. Doubt I will get a lower-mileage 1.6 for that price, however! Thanks

So my engine (1.3 carb) is getting on a bit now and is pretty slow to be fair so I was thinking of putting a new lump in it, but apart from a gt and a g40 what's my options? Is there anything other than a vw motor? Thanks in advance.
