Vw pôlo 2004 5 door 1.2 3 cylinder E engine - Advice on cylinder head 14 Apr 2015 (Forum)
My issue is that I'm not sure whether it's worth me spending this sort of money on my car or whether I should ditch it as I'm afraid the car may have reached the age where many things will start to fail. I've never had a new exhaust or brakes pads or brake discs or coils nothing really anything other than normal servicing things. Two garages I have spoken to won't touch it which worries me they say they are too busy and the other garage that I have spoken to about doing the work think that I shouldn't scrap my car as I should be able to get another 100k out of it once it's fixed but obviously they are biased. -

Ford Focus 1.6 Elle (02 Plate) - Is this Ford Focus 02 worth it? 30 Jan 2014 (Forum)
Issues with the car: - Cambelt needs replacing - Occasionally revs at 2000-4000 rpm when it should be ideling - Windscreen wiper gets stuck on single wipe mode (motor needs replacing) - Wing mirror is loose and damaged on one side so that needs fixing - There may be a power steering leak as the reservoir was empty MOT advisories: - Exhaust back box has minor hole causing exhaust fumes to leak - Brake pipes slightly corroded - Brake discs are worn but not severely - Bushes are worn but no excessive movement The owner seemed very genuine but lacked knowledge. The car has not been serviced for 3 years which also worries me. -

VW - Intermittent Throttle problem - Main Dealer Servic 12 Jun 2013 (Forum)
The white tip of the plunger is 3 or 4 times longer than the new one. This appears to have the affect and of cutting off the accelerator as if you were actually braking. I find it extremely suspicious that it occurred after the service at the main dealer but can't prove anything. They have said it must have just gone faulty. Hopefully this thread maybe useful to others. -
