Hey guys, im just looking for some advice really, im picking up a polo gt with the 3f engine soon, however the 5 speed box has lost the 5th gear so i am looking for a syncro ring or where i could find one. im not sure if this is the 084 or the 085 gearbox and because i haven't picked it up yet im not sure what the factory box code is. any help is much appreciated.

Hi everyone. First post on here. I'm having some problems with my 1991 mk2f coupe. I got it on the road about a month ago and its been driving ok up until a long drive down to bristol in the pouring rain (2.5 hours). It runs great when idling with no pressure on the accelerator, but as soon as i touch it slightly, it starts to splutter and sounds like its misfiring. Also doesn't run great when driving around, especially when engine breaking and when the revs lower a bit, sometimes wants to stall and judders a bit but rarely does actually stall. I think it has something to do with airflow/fuel injection/mixture as it only happens at the slightest pressure on the accelerator. maybe electronics from the wet? Dodgy wet or broken wire somewhere? My engine is a 1litre single point injection. It was taken out of a slightly older polo with only 1 oil pressure sensor, the original engine had two. Thats another story though. Don't think this is related though as it ran fine for the first few weeks. I'm new to cars by the way, but learning. Here's what I've done to try and fix the problem so far, after research online and asking around on the polo facebook group. Checked all HT leads for water, there was a bit in the connection on the ignition coil but drying it didn't seem to change anything. What temperature is my engine supposed to run at? its running at about 70 but i thought it was supposed to be higher? it never goes higher than this. anyway i though it might be faulty so changed both black and blue temp sensors. with no change really. I've replaced the lamda sensor. Gonna get a friend to check timing out today but i dunno it its that, as it idles without misfiring. Any ideas on what to try next? before i take it to the garage as a last resort. Cheers!

Hi everyone, Pleased to be here and this is my first post, so "hi"! I joined today as I bought a 91 Polo Breadvan with some issues. It was very inexpensive (£80 with 6 months MOT) and I fancy trying to do the work myself. I also own a 73 Beetle that is on the road (tucked up in the garage for winter) and also a rolling resto. I wondered if anyone has a step-by-step guide to changing the head gasket on a AAV engine? Or can point me in the right direction for one? (no Haynes manual advice please) Pictures would be really helpful too. Thanks very much in advance and I look forward to getting to know you all. Will
