Hi everyone, regrettably I have been forced into the decision to break my Polo 16 valve (6n), I thought I'd join this Club Polo forum to allow you guys 1st dibs on the parts off the car before I start eBaying bits...

The car's a metallic blue '98 16 valve, done just over 90k and the gearbox has popped (I understand these are made of Chocolate, which is a shame), engine runs sweet, no tappet noise or anything, always had regular oil changes and been looked after. Was in daily use till about six weeks ago, now sat taking up space in my garage as I have bought another car for daily duties.

All panels, bumpers and trim available (everything but the gearbox I guess?), also the car is fitted with FK coilovers, although these will be made available once the shell is disposed of as I need to be able to roll the car to the end of the driveway when the time comes to weigh the shell in.

I'm more than happy to take cuts from the shell to help any of you guys fix rust on yours if you've got welding issues. I say this, but the sills and arches have rust on them so can't help you there.

At the moment, the car has it's front end removed to get the gearbox out, but I haven't started stripping anything else off it, will probs start this weekend and start posting lists into the relevant classifieds section as bits are removed, in the meantime let me know what you need and I'll prioritise getting it off for you.

Larger panels/parts to be collected from Barnsley, South Yorkshire, but happy to post smaller bits and bobs.

Feel free to PM me with enquiries about any of your requirements. I can email pics and a thorough description if you include an email address.

Thanks guys

How much you wanting for engine mate? Need the engine loom and ecu aswell, doing a conversion :)

Was thinking about £200, that would include everything you need for your conversion, you can take as much of the loom as you please?

I've also got a 4 branch tubular manifold if you were interested?

VeeDub. PLEASE can he sell me the Camcover!!

Depends on how much he will knock off 200 :) if its like average price then sure dude

Do you know if the lambda sensor is the same for a 16V as an 8V?

I don't know if they're the same to be honest. Can anyone else help out, or do you have a part number?

What Exhaust is on it , Is it the Standard or do you have aftermarket? Looking for a 4-2-1 Manifold + exhaust

Sorry buddy, I'm keeping the exhaust system for my lady's 6n2.

I do have a stainless 4-1 tubular manifold though if that's any good to you?

It's heat wrapped too!

Somebody contacted me about the airbox and pipework, could you get in touch with me again please I can't find the message!

Spoke to the guy who's buying the engine and he doesn't need the airbox, so you can have it if you still need one?

Can i take the cambelt cover then?B-)

how much for the front bumper? including grills, splitter etc

I wanted £100 for the pair, complete with grilles etc...

Pm'd

Could you email me pictures of the bumpers? jakejamesps3@hotmail.co.uk also coilovers please

Pm me about mani if still available

Certainly, I'll email pics this evening...

PM's and emails sent...

Anybody want anything else? Any bits of trim or anything, was hoping to scrap the shell soon, I want my garage back!

Just pm'd about doors mate !!!

Nobody need anything? Front bumper's sold, other than that, it's all here (in my way)

Aiming to scrap the car in the next week or 2, let me know if you want anything off it before it goes to scrap?

you able to take the sump off and post it?

cheers

No mate, it's part of the engine... Can't really sell the engine without the sump! Sorry

What's best price you can do on engine and everything for a conversion? And how many miles is it on?

£200 for everything you need conversion wise...

It's got somewhere between 92 and 94,000 on it (can be confirmed with recent MOT certificate). I picked it up at about 74k and changed the oil every 6,000 miles. The previous owner was in his 70's, so not been thrashed all it's life. He'd had the car since it had 40k on the clock. New Bosch plugs and OE leads fitted recently too.

No smoke or rattles. It's a great engine! (you should see what it did to the gearbox!)

Car going to scrap next week, last chance if anyone needs anything off it?
