hi all,
im about to buy a brand new polo 2008 1.4 80 h.p. and i saw the issue with the engine problem @ 1.4 engines. my question is about the 2008 polo - does the same problem occur with it and is it only with the petrol or with the diesel too? any critical bugs with the polo that i want to buy?
im in a hurry of buying it because its on a promotion now... so i will be glad to read your answer mates!
respect,
peter
