16:35 just asking mate. My mate had a polo of that year. And he had the same issue. In the end it was a mass air flow sensor. But vw checked the one that was in it. And said its fine... 3k later.. 3k! His dad just changed it to see if it would work... And it ran lovely They actually won a court battle with vw over it.
A Neighbour of mine had a Polo they bought from an Auction and it ran absolutely awful it would only do about 8 Mpg turned out it was a faulty MAF sensor even tho no code's where showing. I did exactly the same as yourselves cleaned the throttle body etc etc before I found the problem, it was an absolute pain took me all day to figure out.
Enjoy your holiday Lee. Seems like a lot of dealers are avoiding VW/AUDI these days, even the french stuff seems to be more reliable and easier to fix. We deal with a small but very busy multi drop delivery firm here, the Peugeot Citroen vans seem to go on forever but do cost an absolute fortune MOT time. The Caddys just keep letting folks down, just can't take the abuse if worked hard. Different story in the 1990s though.
Those polo's... not a fan of running on e10, recommended e5... if its been run on e10 for a while it could be the issue... new fuel filter, tank drain and 20 quids worth of fresh momentum may well sort the issue!
Same here, I had the an issue like that on my Polo, happened all of a sudden on the way to a service/MOT, no tick over no power. New plugs and coil pack and it was golden.
The Polo sounds very like a mass air flow sensor issue, even if the scanner isnt picking it up. Pitty you havent another polo to swap it with to prove the fault before spending money on a new one
Hi mate the wee vw polo poor running fault. If you strip back the injection unit wire lume you will find a wire starting to break or corroded. Repair all is good. Both VW and seat suffer with the same fault.
Ford springs ! My 2005 Mondeo front springs went in year five and six. Made of rubbish metal. I did one with a Partco for £30. The other a garage did as they found it on a MOT. I still have the car and teh springs are still ok. Have a good holiday and recharge your batteries.
Really like your channel,everyday in the trade is different,can be challenging but always exciting....except for the suitcase lady hahaa. Keep the videos coming & thank you for all your hard work in making them.
19:59 NO that is no BMW BAUR edition. BAUR was a coachbuilder and had its own brand which makes a huge difference for example for the homologation. It is a treasure if it is good condition and well maintained, but designwise I had prefered the BMW 3 series convertible.
Ide rather have less money and be happy and live longer than greedy and stressed with a short life. Life is to short to stress about money, enjoy what you have in life, remeber you cant take money to your grave 😊
Honest used car dealer finally gets to stitch something up 😂 Enjoy your holiday Lee. You beat me to the weight joke and yes, it WAS like this has been a jinxy week!
Spoken to mechanics and they are convinced that the state of the roads and the road services putting in ramps is the major issue with springs especially when the weather is cold, jan to March some guys are doing springs every day of the week, take it easy Lee enjoy your break
I agree. I don't know how bad your area is. But I'm in the North West and 90% roads have been left so long they need totally resurfacing and when they do patch a pot hole it's an awful job.
@@Blitz9287 Totally agree - here in the Tameside (Greater Manchester) the roads have been shocking in last few years……if it is not major potholes and surface degradation, then it is the very extreme speed humps in some areas that you have to contend with……no fun in my partner’s small runabout car……a mk2 Smart with tiny front wheels and narrow track up front……in last two years it has cost us new front springs on both sides up front……we are seriously looking to shift it on now as it just does not cope well with the roads around these parts. Brought it up with us from Hampshire 6 yrs ago when we relocated and now I wish we had left the damned thing there - roads around here just seem to shake it to bits……and don’t even get me started on the state of the surface in Asda car park in Ashton-under-Lyne where it goes twice a week 😮😮
@@philipparker1319 My Polo has just had to have the 2 back shocks done and a coil spring last year. The mechanic who did it said the front shocks will need replacing before the next MOT in December as they are starting to seep fluid. I fully put it down to the state of the roads.
In the same half mile stretch of 40MPH potholed road I have seen two BMWs saloons with completely shredded tyres (one on each car). No wonder people are thinking they need an SUV with off road tyres.
@@MrDuncl People need to just stop getting 20" wheels with stupidly thin tyres. Yes the roads should be in good condition but at least get 18"s with some tyre.
You initially description of the rear right wheel arch of the Fiesta “A bit of a @“ 6 minutes in made me laugh. My daughter loves her 7 seater VW. Enjoy your holidays, you deserve a rest, have a few beers.
Enjoyed the video Lee, keep up the amazing work and hold your head up high - Sterling service, Amazing that Man on bike concluded 😅 Have a wonderful holiday you deserve it !
ix20 looks like a nice car. Good spec for the money, roomy inside. Fuel economy not as good as Honda Jazz and more maintenance issues, apparently. But with Jazz you're paying more for its perceived good reliability
Of course, the effin Polo. I was rather intrigued why polo's quality was so highly praised. They cost much because they're perceived as slightly better quality, not because they're so good. In reality they're just slightly better than the french ones
Springs are lighter these days for better performance, thinner spring less mass to rebound so better ride and roadholding, unfortunately they break, back in the day springs hardly ever went, seized top mounts means that the spring twists rather than the mount that causes them to snap, I'm just doing one on a corsa and tbh the broken one looks fairly new.
Another video full of great content 😊, regarding the polo it might be worth finding someone with vag com I had a similar problem with my vw beetle 1.8 20vale turbo I ended up replacing the throttle body but I had to use vag com to configure it to the car I also had another instance with it where it was a similar problem a few months after it ended up being a faulty maf sensor. It's nice to see some appropriation for the old rovers I was always a fan of the tom cats myself well the 200 series I still miss my old 216 and 214. Can't wait to see your progress on your metro 😀😀
Have a great holiday Lee you deserve it fella and get yourself relaxed and enjoy family away time .. the legend you are still giving us supporters content while away shows how much you respect us and your channel.. hope you and your lady have a wonderful time… sending safe travels and see you soon mate 👍👍 Tony in fakenham Norfolk 👍👍👍
I had a Astra that would cut out on me occasionally then run fine for months. No codes, erc, etc. Troubleshooted a lot of things and it turned ot that the connector to the coil pack was the issue. Cleaned it and didn't fix it. Had to just cut the connector and repin and replace it by a part on ebay for under 10 quid. Ran excellent after that.
To be fair Lee you prep your cars very well prior to delivery. That's why, you have so few warranty issues, considering how many cars you sell anyway ! Just unlucky you've had a few roll in all together, especially as your trying to escape for a break. Man on bike is still an enigma though 💪👍👍😂. I await next celebrity client
Hi Wonder if u might help with some advice looking at 2010 jag xj diesel 59,000 miles full history cam belt, battery recently done, gearbox service also, 2020 to 2022 did only a few thousand miles those 2 years should i be worried about it, dpf issues etc. thank you
The xj runs the 3.0 range rover engine, dpf issues on this year are not really a issue unless your doing lots of town driving. They are not a engine I come across with dpf faults unlike some other models.
we don’t use autotrader we have so much passing trade due to our location we don’t need to advertise on the big platforms. we do stick vehicles for sale on Facebook from time to time but stock moves so fast search for the car pitch on google
My life has really gone downhill lately insomuch as I actually spend time listening to (and guiltily enjoying!) a used car salesman rabbiting on about cheap used vehicles for hours! That Polo’s intermittent fault, just a hunch but could damp have affected the ECU?
