Replacing My Polo

Featured Replies

Due to a few factors I've had to replace my Polo :-(

I have stayed within the VAG models :-) It's basically a crossed Polo & Golf, It's a 2000 Seat Ibiza Cool/s with a 1.4 8v AUD engine with PAS, Autoclimate aircon & remote c/locking 8-)

It needs a few jobs doing, the rear bumper cover is cracked, I now have a spare, The drivers door electric window, the cable has snapped on the regulator assembly, have a repair kit on order, Left rear arch rusty (only rust I can find :-) ), The biggest job is the front wheel alignment! it pulls hard to the left and as you will see in the pictures the camber is out of adjustment :?

I need a centre cover if anyone has one lying around??

Apart from the steering pulling to the left it drives OK No noises from the gearbox :-) Not sure I like the drive by wire throttle :? put you foot down and it will decide if it wants to give more power and in slow moving traffic it seems to be a bit lumpy

No signs of any accident damage!

If I leave too long the arch will be to bad to salvage but the pic makes it look worse than up close :-)

Apart from the massive camber haha

Best get that done asap!

Like these though :)

It had both struts replaced for it's MOT last month so I'm hoping it's going to be a case of refitting them correctly :?

Ah yeah maybe it just needs adjusting then lol. Looks like kwik fit put them on lolz

That's what I'm hoping :? at first I was thinking it was the subframe bent or the wishbones but there's no sign of that and the chassis legs are straight

Used to have one of these (Chill to be exact) be sure to get the pedal box welded mate they tend to go on these and its a ball-ache

looks good mate bought a mk3 cupra a few months ago
