Jayhoath83 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Dose sound like the dizzy to me n i recon your better off fixing it n selling it on than scrapping it n as for the diesel polo good luck in actually getti the 82mpg i drive a 1.6 tdi pug as my work van n they say it dose 70mpg but i only see 40mpg as an average just fix the honda n drive it more delicately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skymera Posted June 15, 2016 Author Share Posted June 15, 2016 Thought I'd post. I still lurk So I've had the Polo for a few months now and I'm really loving it.. Pros: - Torquey as balls. It may only be a 1.4 3-banger, but it has 170lb/ft torque at 1,500rpm.. way more than the Honda ever had. Gets up to speed with much more ease than the Honda ever did. - It sips diesel. 70-75MPG is not uncommon. I can maintain 80MPG+ if the roads are clear, traffic lights are in my favour and I'm gentle. A lot of stop start on my commute will see this drop to 65-70MPG - Knowing you can turn the key and it will just work** Cons - It's pretty souless to drive - You can tell modern cars are built to meet a budget, not built to last. They just dont feel as "solid"? - I miss VTEC - I miss driving the car how I like - I miss driving the car as much as I like - Managing the DPF can be a real pain ** After 300 miles the EGR valve failed and VW took ONE MONTH to fix it. During this time I had a 1.0 VW Up which I treated like a little bitch and for 2 weeks I had a 2015 Golf SV GT TDi DSG which was a beautiful car to drive.

Krzys Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 I hate EGR valves and the DPF filters with a passion! It's the reason diesels aren't attractive to me anymore even as 'cheap' runabouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
