Up for sale is my daily driver for the last 4 years. Selling due to upgrade to a MK4 golf estate tdi.
It's a 1999 Polo estate with the 1.9sdi AEY engine. About 178000miles.
Bosch pump so apparently good for veg but I've never bothered
I purchased this from a garage that had taken in as a px. The previous owners an elderly couple had owned it since 2004. There is a good pile of service history.
When I first got it I gave it a full service and gates cam belt kit around 145k. I've serviced it every 7or 8 thousand miles.
In my ownership it's had 4x shocks, rear springs, front discs and pads. Various bushes, Flexi hoses, CV joints, starter solenoid, wheel bearings.
In the first year of ownership the gear box died, so I ended up collecting a replacement box from a VW breakers and fitting it one Saturday (not a fun Saturday!) So it now has a lower millage box from a MK3 golf 1.9 which also had the added bonus of a longer 5th gear.
MOT untill 7 August
Recently serviced
Fuelly says It had averaged 57.6mpg in my ownership
Base model with windy windows and no central locking. It does have a rev counter though!
Comes with a seat Ibiza haynes (it's a seat Cordoba Vario in vw drag)
Set of polo/Cordoba Thule roof bars
Full set of winter tyres currently fitted ready for the summer
Bad points
Plenty of giffer dents
Sounds like a tractor (this also maybe a good point)
The self adjusting clutch cable decided to stop adjusting a few months ago. Causing the clutch to slip under load. New cable now fitted but the clutch pedal has a much higher biting point than it used to
All in all this has been a great little car and has plenty of life left in it!
Price £500
