Swmbo is wanting a Polo Dune and we were going to go for the 1.4TDi but having read a few horror stories of total engine failure including this one (see link). Its kind of put us off enough to start looking at the 1.4 petrol instead. Any body have any experiences, thoughts or comments...

I heard there was a guy in Crewe Cheshire who works/worked for Awesome GTI. I think he runs a bright yellow Seat Leon Cupra. Anybody know him ?

Mine also does exactly what you describe but just kind of got used to it.

Thanks dan yeah I was thinking CRB also the stiff clutch pedal could be clutch cable. I suppose I could buy something else and end up spending loads on that too ?

So we realised we cant survive on one vehicle so the search was on to find another car to join the Audi. Of course being me it had to come from the VAG stable and so I found this a 1999 Polo 1.4 16V which seem quite rare around here. Its got 58,000mls with 4 virtually new tyres a 12mth ticket...

The indy that normally services my car seems doubtful of turbo problems given its mileage of 67,000mls (sorry should have mentioned that). He thinks it could be a great many other things but is doubtful the turbo is at fault. I drove it all day yesterday with a long drive out to look at an old...

Thanks Mike I will get it checked out.

Afternoon all re 2004 A3 2.0TDi 8P2 Just wanted your opinions on this. I was accelerating with the rev counter at just over 3k when it felt like it didnt want to rev further. It continued to drive ok but seemed to slowly but reluctantly rev. I pulled over switched off then a few seconds later...

Yep we have one on ours and love it but as mentioned keep it classy and legal. Sorry to hijack but what do peeps do about the VAG service history which references the old age related plate which we didnt retain ? We do have the official retention cert for the new private plate though and the...

Each to their own but I love the grille in silver it keeps it looking classy and less gangsta :cool:

I was told a story by a very reliable source. A customers car was in for a service at the main dealer in this case it was VW but the dealer in question had the franchise for Audi too. Anyway the technician was seen to throw the brand new service parts into a skip as in his opinion they didnt...

Ive seen these beasties in estate form but not seen one in saloon form. I think the seats are alcantara stylee so just look like that when you climb in and out due to suede leather effect. I used to have them in a Volvo S70R and they did this.

I also live out in the country and could not believe the state of the roads when out driving this afternoon. I prefer a clean car but its probably just me but sometimes a dirty car looks superb and the OP`s looks kinda cool.

A black 8L S3 with private plate and a black 8P Sportback S-line TDi with roofrails & private plate parked next to each other in the carpark. Were they forum members ?
