1984 Volkswagen Polo Formel E review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Basically at 120000 miles it is worn out.
The body is virtually rust free so you think you may as well repair it - expensive mistake.
New fuel tank, fuel pump, distributor vacuum advance, shox, front disks, exhaust downpipe and system, gearlever bushes.
Lots of carb problems - mainly dirt (although we have always fitted filters, perhaps the PO didn't).
General comments?
If you are going to end up spending 3K over 2 years on a car, get a loan and buy a newer car :-(
