[M4tty69]

Hi all,

After going to the Nurburgring a couple of months back with a friend who took her Rocco, i decided i needed a Rocco in my life! so a little bit of searching and here she is!

Bog standard GT2
Recent respray, Cambelt, Vavle stem oil seals, Cam cover gasket ect ect.
144k on the clock

Ran like a dream on the 3 hour drive home, Couldnt be happier!















Plans are to lower it a little on coilovers but still keep it practical and also some nice alloys once ive decided what to put on!

[M4tty69]

Polo LX, you say. Do you have any pics? I used to have one of those. Quite a rare beast.

You know Spacey then - Nurburg mate.

That car of hers is awesome.


Welcome!

Lovely Polo - are your seats good under those covers? I love the stripes, but the fabric is quite delicate. Mine was a silver one with the black/white striped seats. Another car I'd happily have kept in my infinite garage.

Haha yeah it was Tracey who got me hooked on roccos! I quite liked them before but after seeing her car everyday of the Ring trip i just needed one in my life haha!

Yeah i love the polo to bits and it was either sell a couple of mini projects or sell the polo to fund the rocco, so the minis had to go (still got 3 though :p)

Here's mine in its standard glory (had something like 72k and 2 previous owners).

Nice man! Haha this threads getting overrun with polos!

Scirocco looks clean, nice to have one with what looks like nice paint, mines a DIY distaster.

I recognise your Polo from Clubpolo a few years back, I've had Polo's and drove this before Scirocco's, regret ever getting rid of it TBH..

[M4tty69]

Yeah the 2 previous owners were on club polo with my car aswell as myself so its been floating around that forum for a few years!

Anyways update on the rocco! MY sunroof leaks :( got in it to start it the other night and got a wet arse! :( BUT thats the 1 and only fault with it that ive found so far! Cannot fault it otherwise, apart form having no insurance :*(

I use this on my GTL with the eighties blight glass sunroof - http://www.frost.co.uk/captain-tolley-s ... -60ml.html

The seals around the bolts on my glass panel are shot, this does the trick.

If it's the rubber seal try some vaseline on it.

Wicked, cheers for that
