2002 Volkswagen Polo 1.2e 55bhp review from UK and Ireland
"The British Leyland of Deutchland"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Crankshaft oil seal replaced at 5000miles.Clutch master cylinder replaced at 11,000 miles. Lots of rattles in the car. Goe's back to the days of British Leyland. Well designed cars, but awful quality. The dealer has had to start using a Sharan to ferry the service customers about, because of so many problems with the new cars.
General comments?
My advice is to purchase something Japenese.
