Hi all I have a mk8 1.2 TSI (105) R Line, a really nice car! The only thing that disappoints me is the stereo/hands free car entertainment system. For the level of trim the car has I expected a much better system including a good Bluetooth hands free phone capability. So I am looking at upgrading it and and having a better touch screen head unit. I’ve seen plenty on the net ranging from £50 upwards. what I’m looking for is a unit that has Radio/cd and apple play? Any suggestions guys?

Impossible to find replacement carb for mk2 polo?

Does anyone know where I can get an exhaust for my mk2f saloon? Theres seems to be plenty of mk2 coupe and breadvan exhausts around, but i cant seem to find any for a saloon. I am planning on putting a new stainless manifold on and would like the pipe to be 2" all the way, but i don't know if this would be really hard to find? Would it be something i would have to custom-fabricate? (and buy a welder)? Thanks

Hi all, first post here, I have a 2003 Polo 1.4 tdi 3 door and am trying to add a HAWK remote locking system. The car does have central locking and I believe comfort closing. The whole car opens and closes but I have to lock/unlock the doors manually by inserting the key into the door each time. The windows open and close when holding the key in the lock/unlock position. I have read other people’s threads but none seems to relate to my cars wiring. I have got the wiring diagram for my car from a garage (will upload shortly)and instructions from HAWK (https://www.hawkcaralarm.com/View/NzVjN2MwNDEtMDU5OC00NDg3LThmYzQtY2VkN2NlYjg5YmUwLnBkZg==/hawk-ha-008-universal-central-lock-upgrade-manual.pdf) yet still cannot get it to work. I was hoping that somebody is able to give me any advice. Thank you for you time

Hi there, New to this forum, looking for a little help. I just got a 91' Polo GT and the seats are worse for wear, wanted to change them out maybe put some leathers. Ive read on loads of forums that corrado seats will fit in the front, easy swap. Ive also read that mk4 golf seats can swap into a corrado, easy swap. Does that mean I can slap mk4 golf leather seats in my 86 polo? (I understand that it will sit higher than normal) Please advise

Hi I have recently got a 2011 6r 1.4 match. I am looking to upgrade the stereo in it. Looking for Bluetooth, usb, aux, iPod control etc. Currently have one like in pic, has the glove box connection, steering wheel controls in left side of wheel and aux connection of cig lighter. I am aware of the Eonon units that are available but would rather get a original Vw unit if possible. Could anyone let me know of options I have. many thanks!

hey polo peeps!! I've fitted 6n2 GTI hubs onto my 6n2 1.4 8v and now the wheels are toed in massively ! the hole for the track rod end to go into is 10mm closer to the steering rack than the 1.4 hubs and I've now been 2 weeks without my only car trying to figure it out. so far the only solution myself and the mechanic at the garage doing it while I'm at work have is to put threads further up the track rod and chop the ends off to make it fit but surely there's something were missing ? some part that needs changing???? I'm at a loss and I want my car back from what shouldve been a 20 minute job ? anybhelo appreciated- we've checked ball joints, track rod ends, checking wishbones soon but everything seems to be the same !!!

I decided it's time for an upgrade, I really fancy something with a bit more power and a few more comforts, so went hunting through a massive list of probabilities, having the 16v I like the idea of an understated car at first glance that can actually be fun and surprising to drive, obviously budget is the main factor, after a bit of research I came to a conclusion. A Toyota Corolla, and I dont mean the old 80's 86 corolla, those things are silly money! I've set my heart on an E13 (01-06) Tsport. they look very bland on the outside, but contain a 1.8L lump that spins round to 8200 RPM and put out 189bhp, an engine commonly found in the lotus elise and that era celica. prices are low right (1-2k) and they have that famous toyota reliability with a nice interior, a great sleeper, plus they have a good aftermarket following and they can be supercharged really easily for an extra kick. In my eyes its a great step up from the Polo, afterall I do love a high revving NA motor. the question is, what do I do with the Polo? I'd love to keep it but probably would have to sell it. I'd absolutely hate to have to break it!
