What did you do to your Polo today?

Quite a bit, haha. :facepalm: Probably a 1cm (perhaps more) above the full line on the dipstick on a cold engine after checking it this morning. Checked at a bit over 3lts, than got carried away and drop another 1.5l...

Of the old oil, I pulled 5ltr out, which seems huge as I'm sure I got only like 4l out of the red polo.


As a side note, Supercheap Auto has a sale on, all sorts of stuff on discount.

Briggs & Stratton Oil Removal Kit I/N 3370025 | Bunnings Warehouse

With smaller 2-3mm diam drinking / irrigation clear hose.

It does take a while but as Gavin said, cleaner job.

Thanks mate. That might come in handy.

I bought some oil and an oil filter to do a service on my polo. Had a major service at 47000km, a minor at 57k and now im at 67k. Anything else should i do while i have a look at it? Its totally stock, plugs looked fine last service.

Much better!Attachment 16208

Does anyone else get rubbing at full lock when reversing??

I thought plugs were due at 60k and brake fluid every 30k, plus service intervals at 15k rather than 10k. But nothing wrong with doing them more often. I recall the coolant interval.

Otherwise the usual checkover of brake discs, pads, tyre rotation, wear on bushings, etc.

What size tyre?

My 215/45/17 make for a very full wheelarch, and they've rubbed through my front poly mudflaps so it must be awfully close!

Part of my polo service done. Did the cabin pollen filter. 8 years (i suspect since new) of rubbish is now gone :)

Got 5.5L/100km for the second tank with a heavy right foot :banana:

Machined the front brake disc

While working on the brake, found grease on P.side wheel inside surface
Trace that to the CV, discovered the CV boot was split and joint on that side has excessive free play in it
So more work to be done:facepalm:

Hoyhoy.

Just had some more fun with the Little Blue Girl.

To Improve Me Polo. - Page 11

Towed the trailer down there & back, with no prob's, she still loves me.

Fitted dba rotors and remsa pads

Getting the suspension looked at tomorrow. I'm hoping they say it's rooted, you'll have to buy new coilovers.
