Bought a little 3 cylinder v w polo today

[John Laidlaw]

Thanks.
We man and wife owned it but he passed away. Only done 200 mls last year , so new timing belt and water pump done on Wednesday and just collected oil , filters and new wipers this morning for a good service.
Very happy with it .

Decent indeed!

Nice looking little runaround. A good acquisition, I'm sure.

That's what happens when you tune a 3 cylinder 1 litre engine to produce 123BHP and 125ft lbs of torque, its just never going to make old bones.

My Smart is 0.7 litres and makes 102hp (142bhp/litre!) and has done 145k miles with no issues other than a clutch If it's done right small engines can last very well.
