2MB Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 A couple of months ago my girlfriend's polo started making noises from the gearbox. They are not pleasant noises, suspected pinion shaft bearing failure so replacement or repair will be needed. The car still drives but has been replaced for daily duties. The intention was to fix up and sell on but I'm working away all the time at the minute and it's not gonna happen. Oh and the MOT runs out tomorrow, it's had a light tap up the arse (see pics) and the sunroof panel has been plated over. Apart from that it's a fuckin minter, 4 very good tyres (on the steels not the alloys), looks tidy enough and good interior. Engine is sweet as a nut, steers and stops well. I know there's not a great deal going for it, but I thought I'd offer it on here before the bridge takes it or I break it myself. It sold for £122 on ebay so if anyone wants to collect it this weekend for £120 that'd be wonderful. Photobucket is taking the piss so here is the link to the ebay ad for more picshttp://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251859048124?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlabamaShrimp Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 What's the chance of it passing another test? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
320touring Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 What is the interior like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2MB Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 I can't find a thing that would make it fail a test. Whether the gearbox would make it to the test centre is another matter. It started moaning on a trip to scarborough and made it home (70 miles) without getting any worse, but there was a scent of gear oil so it was getting pretty hot by then.Interior is very good, save for a small (5p sized) hole on drivers bolster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the lock set/ignition barrel any good? My diesel has 1 key for the doors, and a key/starter button for the ignition-so would be nice to get it all on one key!

gadgetgricey Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 If breaking, I'd be interested in the steels with tyres as one of mine has a slight buckle, which is causing loss of air. Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
