Well after a really shite year after selling my original Polo GTI, I am so pleased to have got through it all now and have been able to hunt down another one (and not for a silly high price like some want on online down under), after some chat i bought a fellow VWWatercooled forum members car...

Hi All Just a quick readers ride thread after picking up a cheap old 1998 Audi A4 B5 Avant 1.8 (NA), this is a cheap run around whilst I sort all my stuff out after the wife had an affair and left me.... Theres loads of cheap jap cars over here but they just dont interest me so I had to go...

Love the new banner guys, top work, as usual classy and clean and easy to read :D

Hi All Chose this section as i think the Mk4 Ibiza is the closest relation to my 2007 Polo GTI. Guys, im a TDI man and know them like the back of my hand so down under they are rare and petrol is half the price so ive converted to petrol turbo power to get some sort of decent performance...

Hi All I picked up my new car yesterday, traded in my 2008 Suzuki Swift Sport for a 2007 VW Polo GTI, and am very very pleased with the decision. Cost a little to swap but well worth it, i felt right at home after 2.5 years of being out of a VAG car. This is my first time with a 1.8T, so know...

Please note this is a merge from the old TDI FAQ, some links might be missing the old pics for example and some info might need updating. This thread can continue to be updated by adding new posts to it. Note that a general search of the TDI section can yield new results on old topics so for...

I bought a microfibre cloth to dry the car after washing as recommended by people on here as i posted up in the past about using a chamois and keeping it damp. Anyway, ive got a Meguires one, read the label and sounded ok, but its just not working for me, i cant seem to get the car dry with...

the last option in the Quick Links drop down menu from the top is called Whos Online but its been diabled by the admin, would it be better to just remove the link from the menu entirely?

I now officially no longer own my Ibiza TDI Sport 110 :( Very sad to wave goodbye to it last night, been an amazing car. Some boring stats for those type of people :- Over 60,000 miles it averaged 51.9mpg It lost only £1k per year in depreciation over the 6 years i owned it I never...

Just brimmed the car, and the wife drove it down to Southampton (125 miles for us) then i did some driving around the new forest then did a fast run home (80 or so) to get back and see 58.3 overall, thats 300 miles in total so about half my usual tank. At one point after the run down to...

Hi All Ive got some 2nd hand alloys for our old Golf but they looks like they could do with a refurb as theres some bad corrosion on a couple of them. So does anyone know the steps to refurb them? Is it just a case of rubbing them back and repainting? Any guides? Cheers

Just got a 93 Golf 1.9d. Any clues how to get a previous owners light coating of oil out of the cooling system? is there some strong flushing stuff you can get? Aparently the oil cooler for the engine is leaking oil into the system so they have bypassed it, but im going to refit a new one...

Hi all If you look just below the oil filter you can see where two small coolant pipes go in and out, is this the oil pump?

Is there anyway to turn off the passenger Air bag on the Mk3 Ibiza, as it doesnt have any convenient method like modern cars? :( Wondering about a VAG COM hack or something? Any ideas? of even if it would be legal or insurance implications.....

Since disconnecting my battery to change my melted fuse box :censored: ive lost the one touch windows which go up and down automatically when you pull the button. Now i read in the manual that you have to have the ignition on and wind them up fully wait more than 1 sec then wind down fully...

is it best to keep it in a plastic bag so it stays moist? or let it dry out hanging over the bucket after each wash, then having to re-soak next time you use it? :think:

Ive always wondered what strutbrace is the right one for the mk3 TDI Sport, im assuming a normal mk3 one will fit, ie the ones on the 1.8Ts or Mk2 GTIs? Cheers all

Hi all Well my thoughts are being confirmed with the more miles i get on my car, its now approaching 50k. Every so often me and emma drive from Milton Keynes to Tavistock in Devon which is about 250 miles of which about 1/3rd is A roads to Swindon and the rest is motorway. I like to drive...
