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

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

Well the time has come for the 'Rocco to go, shes going to be swapped for a brand spanking new polo bluemotion.
My last drive is thursday afternoon coming home from work, then shes gone

Cheers mate.

I had a call earlier saying that the roc was ready for collection.

They changed the drivers side engine mount and all bolts that side, had a good look around, and have not found any other damage :hugegrin:

Fingers crossed I can now have more than a couple of months with nothing else ...

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.

Update: had a call from VW today, they are waiting for a new mount from germany, so should have the car back at somepoint this week. As all of their courtesy cars are out the have provided me with a '10 plate Passat 2.0 140bhp diesel until mine is ready.

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 ...

Update time

On my way home from Whitby yesterday on the A64 near York at around 65 - 70 mph nice steady throttle, I heard a bang - at first I thought it was a bloody great pot hole - no
Then I thought cant be a blow out as im still pointing in the right direction/ not pulling in either direction ...

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

Thankfuly the bodyshop agreed that its under the paint warrenty, so are sorting it for me, the sales chap on the other hand said it wasnt covered and tried to get me to have a touch up stick to sort it.
Just proves that you need to speak to the right people.

Right update time, some of you at spring fest may have noticed / heard me say about a flake of paint coming off the sill when i washed it..........
