Dont you have any finesse at all?

Understood, I am a total tightwad myself and chances are washers will do just fine and all, but i would feel real uneasy about having vital suspension parts that literally hold the wheels on the car under undue strain with little surface contact between the parts and relying almost solely on the bolts that are now under the extra strain to do the do their job. You also have to dial some toe in as well if you are lowered much. Edit: https://www.clubpolo.co.uk/topic/322498-washer-size-to-camber-rear/

Get some camber shims instead they will have all the markings on them and you have full surface contact on the parts instead of an air gap.

automatic bids when someone is bidding against them most likely. When it "sells" and then gets relisted within a few days is a good sign of fake bids too, especially with no mention of timewaster bidder xyz. Look for 0 feedback or low feedback accounts with excessive percentile activity with the seller. Edit: Here u go:

My mother has a Polo 6n2 1.4 automatic with this engine, the 16v 75hp would have been a superior option. Is this a mk1 Arosa then? I like the front ends on them.

Bidding so far looks alright to me. (unless you have some tools to show linked accounts i guess) and i'm pretty good at spotting shill bidding. Click on bid history, then click on the bidders in that list and you can see their activity with the seller. Obviously some just use friends and family to get the price up and you wont spot that.

Havent you answered your own question by saying one has male and one has female plug? Just look at the wired plug dangling by the hole and stick the only sensor that will plug into it there.

Actually scratch that, I just went and checked it is a very shallow 13mm. Socket wont work unless you grind the end flatter as they have a bevel for easier location.

Try imperial sockets if the nut has shrunk from rust. very likely a 10mm use a hex socket.

RPF1 are about the lightest wheels you can get but the price tag is too silly for a tightwad like me.

EGR valve is stuck open most likely, take it off and clean it. http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/17559/P1151/004433 http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/16786/P0402/001026 Do egr first and see if the other fault is still there after a bit.

I prefer them in anthracite. How much weight difference between them and Superleggeras?

I like the red one, would have bought it ages ago if it was a lot closer and he'd take nearer 2k for it.

I am a cheapskate, also a tightwad, I have 2 Lupo TDIs. Go figure.

Probably the inspection bung and you are looking at the flywheel starter ring teeth not gearbox internals.

That glittery abomination was quite tempting, still a hell of a lot of work to make it worth anything though.

Plenty of ghost cars with v5s on sorn and no vehicle left to match it.

Reminds me of the black japanese limited edition wide body one that was for sale a year or so back, (which i cant find a pic off just now). That had the bolt on arches and 2 seats. That was fugly too.

Try thru gumtree instead. Ebay can be restrictive these days and you get flagged up for putting £ amounts and phone numbers etc as they clamp down ever harder on real or imagined off site sales.

Put some more standard wheel / tyres on the front and see if it changes. If you have gone to stretch I would expect this sort of handling. Also banded steels weigh a ton and that wont do the handling much good either.

Flog off the unwanted bits and return closer to standard. Shame about the wheel arches messing up the body work that wont be easy to put right.

Assuming it is a manual gearbox, while you are there you may as well drain the gearbox oil and see how shiny it is with metal flakes and measure how much comes out, then refill with fresh oil (unless what comes out looks quite fresh).

SO that leaves springs, shocks, top mounts, steering rack (you would feel this thru the wheel), wheel bearings? or tyres. if it is lowered and / or fat tyres with offset etc then camber needs to be right.

Skezza get out of here with your logic and reasoned argument sillyness.
