2001 Volkswagen Polo SE review from UK and Ireland
"Not quite the german quality I was used to"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
All was well from acquiring it at 21,000 miles (apart expensive service, which included timing belt n tensioner change)... but now at 38000 miles... the EPC light and engine light keep on coming on... VW Audi specialist changed MAP sensor yesterday... but today both lights have re-appeared...
Really disappointed with VW.. I have owned 5 different VW's since 1989... will be looking for Japanese make (Toyota/Honda) soon!!!
