Alternator died about 1000 miles - Was replaced and it died again shortly after.
Water pump died around same time as Alternator and was replaced.
Seats are very badly worn and the flip lever doesn't work on both driver & passenger seats in order to bring seats forward for rear passengers to get in.
Gearbox needed replacing.
Shock absorbers on way out.
My first car, it does the job, but when problems occur they can be expensive to fix.
Sometimes a grinding sound comes from the engine.
Very poor suspension.
On the plus side, its very cheap to run in fuel costs as well as being small and compact - so easy to park.
Should have got a 1.3 mate you would be proud of your ride then and not care about the little extra expense the volkswagon asks for as you would just won't it back on the road. rather than try to force a meer 1.0 litre along with ur foot on the floor and still no thrill.
It was a first car, it did the job - but it was abused a lot by its previous owners. I now drive an Audi 90 2.3 and am loving every moment. I beleive the polo was purchased and turned into a track race car.
