    This series polo had a few teething problems that may be still teething.

    1- 1.2 12v 3cyl engine have oil leaks out from front crank pulley, In serious cases the Alternator belt gets destroyed and breaks leaving you on the side of the road.

    2- Its common for the rear brakes to be noisy first run of the day.

    3- Ignition coil failures are common on these.

    4- Lights on warning buzzer stops working ( Internal fault in dash panel/clocks)

    5- Seriuos water leaks in both front footwells, ( The little german guy forgot to seal about 1" in lenghth of the inner wings before the outer wings were fitted.

    Anyone out there with a Vw/Audi Repairing by a proff then Im the man
