1994 Volkswagen Polo Fox review from UK and Ireland
"Great car, very reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Winding down the window for the first time I heard a crack and the window dissappeared... needed new window regulator, £10 from scrappy and a footery yet simple replacement.
Glove box (area) cover broke off, still not fixed as it sits in nicely.
Exhaust support hooks went weak under car and exhaust fell off easily, £5 welding job.
Exhaust split down middle making the tailpipe tap off the body when car at idle.
Right suspension strut failed at MOT, not dampening, £50 new strut, £20 fitting.
Fuel tank rotted gets fixed tomorrow morning, new tank £70 and £30 fitting.
General comments?
The car is rather quick considering it only has a 1043cc engine, easily fly past all my friends with their 1.0's.
The fox variant interior sucks, got a new set from scrappy £15 and seat covers very cheap.
The wiring loom is very modern compared to most the cars age.
