VW Polo - Advice Needed For The Best Possible Outcome 6 Apr 2024 (Forum)
Hi, I'll try to keep a very long story short. You will clearly see I am not in the slightest mechanically minded! We bought a VW Polo Automatic 2012 plate (£9500) as our Son's first car from a second hand car dealer. Within 3 months it suffered catastrophic engine failure. The rods pushed a hole in the side of the engine. The AA transported the vehicle back to the dealer on my instruction. -

Used Car Under £4k 5 Jun 2023 (Forum)
Just looking for a bit of advice on my next car please...I hope this doesn't get lengthy...apologies if it does!
