Re: Ideas for my Polo Classic
Anything for the SEAT Cordoba (6K) will fit. Lots of potential for subtle modding in a 6K Polo, just dont make the common mistake of thinking its the same as a MK4 Polo, it aint.

Long long waiting list though.

Re: techies mk2
Few more pics from Sunday, nice day for it so spent the morning removing yet more sound deadening and prepping the bulkhead. Decided it would actually be easier rather than filling all the holes to just make a new bulkhead panel from scratch, this will be done shortly. http://i34.photobucket.com/alb...

It might work. Better idea is to sort what is causin the musty smell - bacteria. Get your ac system cleaned properly using an ultrasonic cleaner.

Re: Black number plates
Unless its a car reg'd in Jersey, they have black and silver plates still iirc.
But yes when he original reg was first used is irrelevant.

If you only running a small amp say with 8awg wire then you could run direct from the bus bar under the drivers side panel and along the right hand side.

Run a 12v supply to the cut off valve, this will hold it open. Swap it with your old one to try it.

Re: Sub/Amp from stock head unit?
Nothing wrong with using the Bluespot adapter or getting a line out to RCA convertor. You dont get supreme clarity and its not a dedicated sub output but if you get yourself a passive cross over to use before the amp for the sub (unless the amp itself has one built in, which it may well) then it wil...

Re: Can you still buy brand new 1.8T engines?
Of course you can, a manufacturer is obligated to supply new parts for 10 years after production has finished.
I have bought many salvage engines, a few I have rebuilt for customers and a few havec ome with verified service history and warranties.

Re: b5.5 tie/track rod end - which tool for removal?
Make a not of the height of the track rod end before you remove it. Take out the 13mm bolt first before undoing the 16mm pinch bolt. The height of the track rod end adjusts a steering angle and should be set up correctly, if you gt it close to what it was you should be ok. Not all wheel alignment pl...

They will be fine mate I am sure.
Nowt wrong with spacers if you go for decent ones. I have 20mm at the back, bolt on hubcentric ones and had zero issues.

Re: Golf newbie
Hi Teddy,
6N and 6N2 are chassis prefixes and denotes what model.
i.e a typical chassis number would be
WVWZZZ6NZ1B123456
Each numner and leter denotes something about the car, model, where its built etc.

More than likely the pollen filter housing.
It wont feel wet down the 'slope' as the water runs behind it and the carpet is very thick there.
