Re: Time for a change!!

Thanks, the polo is a great little car and believe it or not, to me at least, it feels like you can drive it unlike the mk3 where you feel that it the electronics thats doing it all and as such the mk3 feels sterile and not connected to anything that you do

Re: Time for a change!!

Cheers mate, to be fair im not sad to see it go, it came with loads of promise and to me at least it never lived up to the hype, i suppose having a Corrado vr6 aswell was the final nail, i.e. better looking, drives soo much nicer, not too much difference fuel wise etc

Re: Tales of Woe - update

yeah it's not good, just got to hope they find nothing else has been damaged as a result.

It does look as though 1 of the bolts has been damaged for a while (pic 3).

Will see later in the week what they say.

Re: My New Arrival

Well I went to the dealers this morning to drop the keys off, so hopefully get it back early next week. Was shocked when it happened TBH as even when I was in the motor trade I had never seen an engine mount bolt shear off. Fingers crossed it was just a dodgy bolt - I also hope they change all of th...

No point in changing the head, the differences are small so no advantage either way.
