VW or specifically Polo forums?
Since picking up my 2003 Polo TDI, I wanted to do a couple of things; namely pick up the Haynes book for it and join a decent forum for help/advice should it be required.
I'm sure there's some VAG heads on here so was wondering if anyone (apart from Mr Google
) had any suggestions on a good forum to use?
ClubPolo looks good with regular postings and is maybe better than a generic VW forum.
(For the record I'm not looking to join and ruin my car into some VeeDub monstrosity - just basically look after it and get assistance on servicing jobs or anything else that might pop up).
Thanks.

I drive a VW Polo to work, 53mpg from a 1.0E and have used the VAG forum for service advice and fault diagnosistic http://www.vwaudiforum.co.uk/
Hope that helps you.

Seems pretty solid so far. Couple of niggles like stuck drivers door lock and a worn engine mount underneath but it's 10 years old.
What's so bad about VW's or Polo's of this age? They hold their money well (could've got a 54 plate 307 for £2k) so how are they unreliable?
Coming from a guy that's had four Peugeot's and a Citröen.

I had a '02 1.2 Polo in 2006, worst car I've ever had (although the Mercedes I have now is running it close). ABS failure, all sorts of suspension failures, electrical circuit failure mounting to thousands of £.
My brother in law had a '03 Polo 1.4. They had suspension problems and frequent and random breakdowns. VW just shrugged their shoulders and had no idea, this was 5 years old at the time.
I move to Yorkshire 4 years ago and someone in my church had a '53 Polo. In his own words, "the worst and most unreliable car I have ever had".
