having come from a 1137cc Bike capable of 186 mph, YEs i do believe it

It's not that much smaller than a MKII!!!
Nick

to be fair the ONLY issue related with the driving position is the electric window switches , they are 3/4 of the way back down the door, :undecided:
even a dwarf would struggle to use them :laugh:
-
Yeah I always found them to be in a stupid location. German ergonomics fail.
Edit: At least they go up and down with a some speed though. The MX5 ones are glacial!

Not even sure why yet.... Should be a good read though as this poor workhorse needs some love i'm sure... it's gonna get some big man love! :laugh:

first things first, Tunes, the passat gave up its install a lot easier than the polo recieved it :angry:
Whilst sorting the tunes I refitted the NSF indicator that was making a bid for freedom :lipsrsealed:
And then threw some snow foam at it, happy birthday car
(http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp359/chuffs69/a3091406.jpg)
then a quick once over with a mitt, just so see what lay beneath
(http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp359/chuffs69/9b6bf359.jpg)
Think it will need a good half day allocating to a good de tar ing, and maybe a coat of polish, eventually.
Then it was a quick call to book her , well me, a spot on a ramp tomorrow for an oil and filter change and a quick one over just for my own peace of mind before I start using it in anger on a daily basis.
Next stop, halfords for some bulbs and a mirror glass :smiley:

Looks quite bug next to the Passat. Looks newer too.

Well the old girl came out of the garage, oil n filter changed satis, and got booked straight back in for friday, :laugh:
Funny braking noise identified - no rear pads left OSR
Knocking from the front identifed - anti roll bar bushes perished / useless.
Brake fluid is a tad discoloured or :sick: - so might aswell whilst its in.
Rear brake lines showing signs of corrosion taking hold
NSF CV boot getting resecured.
and the front shocks are seeping a bit, but they are staying as they are. :lipsrsealed:
New mirror glass recieved in the post, and good guess work by me, it was the right one of the 3 possibilities :cool:
And the Dash cubby hole tray turned up so no big hole in the dash.
Just waiting on the door repair kit, and she should be ready for a week monday.
-
What a pain in the ass, scrap it. :grin:
-
:grin:
to be fair, some of it is a tad OTT by me,
but i want it all fettled before I start using it,
and would rather splash the cash now whilst I got the RAF wages coming in
Even without my cash discount prices it wouldnt be much so all in its still a bargain :smiley:

Well i just filled it up from warning light on, £55 which is nice, and a lot less than the Passat.
Then attempted to give it a good hoovering out, and the garage hoover broke :laugh:
No just everything else :grin:
I know its early days shaun,
but its quite enjoyable to drive, keeping it in the VERY narrow powerband is interesting :shocked: :shocked:
and certainly holds its own thru the twisties and last minute.com into roundabouts :evil:
and one the roll bar and brakes are sorted it can only get better . :wink:
-
Going back to small cars is always fun for a while.. .Like you say, early days, i'm sure there's plenty you can do to it to keep you entertained for a bit, with your history though you'll be moving on by the time the summer is out! :grin:
I read it before somewhere but forget, what's the mileage?
-
142k, a mere pup compared to my passat of 180kness :grin:
And this is the works runner, and due to the saving I got it for, so will be just that
however a toy can and will fit on the driveway, 3 cars fit so all is good :wink:

It is hard to kill
It is cheap to run
It is not boring

Ah well that's good then, only experience I've had with a tdi polo was in a 2006 model, courtesy car. Soon clocked I couldn't live with one, I'm too big, wasn't comfortable and found it rather boat like. Not sure if this was a bad year for a polo. Interior quality I felt was also poor on later models.
-
every car is tight for me :grin:
to be fair knowing the mileage and last 2 owners :laugh: the old girl inside is solid. :evil:
handles like a dream but it has been DH'd :cool:
and the driving style is different from a 1.8T but adds to the experience. :laugh:
Knowing my journey to work is a mix of 30,40 and 50 zones, all single carriage way, it will serve its purpose well :afro:

A bit of a delayed update, but the old girl was fixed in time so a roadtrip to a bikers memorial weekend went ahead.
Friday she was back in the garage
Sump plug threads were beyond their best so a Helicoil insert went in and she is no longer staining the cobblestone driveway :cool:
Rear pads changed and the suspect sticky caliper issue sorted
Brake fluid changed
CV boot resecured
Still to do the anti roll bar bushes as the only supplied the links not the lower arm bush too
New number plates are here,

There's a nice Blue Calibra V6 on Pistonheads for less than £500. In light of your new employers, this could be a good purchase, or even a quick turnaround sale for profit.

Nice dealer stamp and you can sell that on for over a grand.

That's actually quite a bargain if it's not leaking oil!
Steal of the fecking century!
Back in the day, bout '95, a mate had a stunning cavalier. Gun metal silver, black leather....Oohh!.
Then we put in the engine from a Calibra that we acquired by... :lipsrsealed:
It was epically fast.
If that advert is genuine, Chuff could keep it or sell it on with a once over + stamp etc..
If I had the dosh and its as good as it looks id have it ad sell on!

Shortest I've had a car was a Renault 21 quadra turbo, I drove it home, got out and after looking at it on my path took it straight back and got all my cash back - it was :sick:

Reminds me of the fast show! :grin:

well I have just been and filled the old girl up
385 miles on 30 litre ,
so by my maths thats 57mpg ish
Which will do for me knowing its been hauling 2 sets of wheels to london
one set back from brum
and had me using and abusing it
so a good mix of driving returning a good mpg :cool:

Good skills in a day....

You couldn't even park an ickle car like that you bumped it. :grin:

Ran Horney over in it as a strong selling technique. :grin:
-
Grille looks good.
-
What made that nasty dent in the bonnet?
I can only presume the same incident that put the bend in the back of the car, which happened before I got it. :grin:
I think it was the filling in a sandwich at some point.
I didn't need to run Nick over with it to get him to swap out the Corrado, he submitted willingly, although he was under the influence of Frankland at the time.

well today I have mainly been adding to the NSF corner damage, :shocked:
and made my own mark on most of the NS panels :rolleyes:
thank fook I didnt find a tidy motor and spank £2k on a daily, :smug:
cos i think hedge car interfaces will be a regular thing on my commute ( If I'm still doing it that is )
and 4500 rpm redlines are NOT useful when trying to stress relief yourself :angry:
but toyo tyres of oversizedness and a lowered motor added to lots of roundabouts and late braking opportunities are :evil:
-
Er crikey.
Nick
-
Dam :sad:
Hope you sort everything bud :shocked:
-
Does not sound good :undecided:
-
Any pics? I'm sure it'll buff out :grin:
There's nothing better to relieve stress than hurling a small car round a round about with the tyres squealing :wink:
-
Don't worry Chuff. You're just imprinting the polo with your character. Just like the mighty lions piss on bushes to mark their territory.
David Dickinson calls it "Patina". :grin:
The next victim owner will be most pleased with its provenance.

ah, cat piss, just like being back at work today :lipsrsealed: :sick:

well took the old girl for a bimble to collect some new rims, bargain they are too :smug:
had to finally fill up after 2 weeks of commuting, 497 miles on 38.6 litres, not bad considering I am lucky to get into 5th on my commute at the moment due to roadworks.
so, later I will be mainly fitting
