Thanks Sharkie. I managed to get two from a local wreckers - $8 each. I just need them as the car will be for sale soon, to be replaced by a 9N3 GTi. Then I will have those alloys.

1x wheel cover/hub cap required to replace stolen/fallen off? one noticed recently - Mornington Vic. area. Doesn't need to be pristine as I can clean it up to match the other 3 :cool:.
Please phone...
Fixed - almost!!
After two more bleeeding attempts, which seemed to make the problem worse, I consulted with a mate of mine who is a recently retired VW mechanic.
At this stage, the car had...
Great advice, thanks sambb. I will give it a good go, and let you know how it works. I may have to stock up on hydraulic fluid though, as soon as I can get out to a store again. As its a seperate...
Many thanks JTop and sambb for all your input and thoughts - exactly what I was hoping for in the post. However problem is not yet sorted, and with our current lock-downs it may not be for a while...
Thanks JTop for your response.
Think I can dismiss shifter issues, because all gears select properly and smoothly once I can get the clutch to disengage.
The second part of your answer...
For the last week or so, the clutch on our 2008 1.9 TDi has not been releasing fully - i.e difficult to engage gears, especially reverse. Sometimes it is intermittent, but it does seem to be getting...
Interested in RH (drivers side) tail light esp. if it is original and uncracked. Price & location please - I am in Mornington.
Thanks in advance, John
Any chance of 2x front dash speakers or rear parcel shelf speakers (OEM not aftermarket)? Thanks in advance.
Thanks to all for your comments. My friend (I mentioned it's not my car) is taking the Polo to dealer East of Melbourne tomorrow. He noticed yesterday one other car in their showroom with the same...
A friend has a MY13 Polo 6R, and is puzzled by the following issue:
Without inserting key, if I turn switch to Headlight position and then flash High Beam, all dash warning lights come on together...
SOLD - passed the RWC with flying colours and now off to a new home W of Melb.
Thanks for the interest, and a gr8 Forum.
John
Looks like its sold - pending Roadworthy inspection, test booked for Monday.
Thanks for looking!
John
Hi,
Are the engine & gearbox mounts OEM or Aftermarket?
Do you still have the windscreen?
Thanks in advance, John
Thanks for the interest shown in the Vento. Things are moving - rego is now paid & someone looking at it tomorrow.
One more pic - the original alloy wheels. I can't believe they are 15's - the...

So much to learn as a Forum Newbie.
I'm having a crash course on Photobucket now, so photos should be available sooooon.
Your location might be an issue though, as car is in Melb.
John
OK, thanks for the heads up, Dylan8.
FS - 1995 Vento GL. 235xxx kms, quite tidy and very original. Rego has just expired but still can be renewed. Close to RWC as mentioned above. Many recent new...
Sadly it's crunch time - the rego. on my daughter's Vento Auto is due, and she has decided it's time to go - the Vento, that is. The car has served her well for 6 years since I bought it for her,...
Hopefully it's solved - it seems the culprit is /was a faulty stoplight switch (which controls the interlock). The battery problem may have been a trigger, or just a coincidence. Another ironic twist...
Yes, I will try to get to a VAG.com later today. In the meantime I will try to check relays, etc. visually. I'll keep you posted on the outcome.
PS Auto wasn't my choice, but its not all that bad...
Thanks Steve,
I must admit I haven't checked ATF fluid yet, but it definitely seems an electrical problem, especially as it releases after a period of time.
I'm thinking a relay or the ECU...
After a semi-flat battery yesterday (it started after a 20 min. recovery), the auto. trans. selector interlock is not operating as it should. It will sometimes take 2-3 minutes for the interlock to...
