VW Polo

If it is the filter only this is a DIY project. A good filter like K&N will run somewhere around $50. If you get into a cold air intake system you could be looking at almost $200 just for parts not to mention you may have to do some modification under the hood to make it fit, if your not comfortable doing this you can pay a mechanic and that may run another $100 or so.

if its 2002 /2003 with timing chain get the updated tensioner and new chain fitted before it jumps as these do at 50,000!

The vehicles recommended tire pressure is in the drivers front or rear drivers door jamb and in your owners manual. The pressure on the side of the tire only tells you the maximum amount of pressure that the tire can safely handle. That figure is not the recommended tire pressure.

master key on volkswagen golf 1997 wont open the doors

It would be reasonable and logical that the starter motor or starter solenoid could be the source. Although it doesn't rule out an ignition switch.

Two things in my experience.

If rapid clicks, starter gear probably not fully engaging with flywheel due to insufficient current.

Low battery (may be charging issue if battery is good, Any independent shop will check battery/charging) OR the solenoid is shot (copper connection pads get worn out).

If it is intermittent solenoid, single click but no turn over then try again and works, solenoid is bad as above. Usually this deteriorates over time especially in cold climates like New England.

If you believe solenoid, pull starter out and take to auto electrical shop for a rebuild. If cold climate, the starters take a beating and they will rebuild starter & solenoid.

Folowing not likely but...late models use a relay. The ignition switch controls the relay, the relay feeds the solenoid, solenoid feeds starter. I did have a 1997 Tahoe that was intermittent (turn key twice it starts). I did not believe solenoid was bad since I'm warm climate. This can be (carefully, know what your doing & verify relay part numbers) checked by substituting a relay from another "non-vital" circuit (say air conditioning). The relays MUST be the same so verify part number.

My Thaoe's electrical diagram did NOT show the relay and I almost rebuilt starter. I could not believe solenoid was issue. It was bad relay, $23 at NAPA.

I would be suspicious of a weak battery first because it is only during cold weather. This is when the battery is most susceptible to failure. Drop it off at your local independent shop that you use outside the night before when it is cold, and with a little luck it will happen so it can be diagnosed.

This is caused by not enough power reaching the starter solenoid to make it engage the starter motor. The culprit could be: a) a weak battery (only if it turns the starter slower than normal when it does turn it)b) worn ignition switch contacts c) loose wire connection (somewhere from switch to solenoid) d) a wire that has developed high resistance or become frayed or worn out. e) worn starter solenoid f) on newer models an ignition relay

I had this problem on two older model cars I owned, on both my cars the cause was the ignition to starter solenoid wire had developed high resistance. This is the reason newer models include a relay. I adapated a relay on both my cars long before this addition was included on newer models. This I�ve found is the main cause for clicking starter solenoids, and is very common on earlier models but many times missdiagnosed as starter, solenoid or ignition switch related.

It could also be a bad battery connection. Check the battery cables for tightness and sometimes corrosion.

Press and hold button "A" (positioned right of trip recorder display) Switch ignition ON The word "SERVICE" will appear in the trip recorder display Release button "A" Turn button "B" (positioned left of trip recorder display) to the right to reset the display Switch ignition OFF

60,000 miles

Press and hold the service wrench button with the ignition off. While still holding the button, turn your ignition to "on" (but don't start the car). Press the Min clock button and then release the wrench button.

I found these steps work well:

1. Key in slot (no Accessory activated)

2. Hold "0.0"

3. Push key in to activate Accessories

4. Push "wrench" icon button

5. Release "0.0"

6. Start vehicle

I found a fuse box diagram for 91-94 Ford rangers on Autozone.com, small print and hard to read though.

Yes you can, I have installed a Turbo on my VW Polo Classic 1.6 1999 Model. You will just have to change your cooling system, coz the Car will over heat quikly, and you will either blow your Turbo or Head Gasget, attemting this without any experience is a recipe for desaster, Rather just Google Turbo Boy's, and Speak to a Pro.

Hi I dont really understand the 1951 plate but I have a Astra 1998 station wagon 2.0l that may have the same prob.There is a yellow light which looks like an engine with a z in the middle.This is between the oil and batt warning light.The car still runs fine but a bit worried when this comes on as I dont Know what it means.

Siphon out as much as possible and refill with deisel, keep topping up every time you use a gallon or so, I've done this twice and no damage to engine.

I want to replace an ac swicth bu i don't know the procedure

yes

car service kit contains

Use it as a fuse, or when you get a great idea. which in your case, might not work...

depends on what it is you want to fix.

To change the headlight bulb on a 2003 VW Polo you must first remove the rubber cover from the back of the bulb. Pull off the connector and loosen the 2 torque screws to allow the black plastic locking to turn. Turn the locking ring counter-clockwise to remove and replace the bulb.

Eather temp senser or thermostat.

its the engine control unit... it manages all the working of the motor

hi. Remove the glove box under the steering wheel by pressing the clips at the left and right hand side of the open glove box. The fuse box is behind this.

Just read in a forum that they're 6.5" .

Not sure as i thought they wer actually around 5", but i guess 6.5" would fit. Look around the polo forums.
