Why does my VW Polo nose dive.....

Good day, when my VW Polo's petrol gauge is on half, and I turn to the right, she nose dives. What could the problem be? She does not do this when turning to the left????

Have not seen the lay-out of a Polo Fuel tank, but it may be that the shape of the tank is bigger to the left than to the right - resulting in more fuel going to the left when turning right - adding more weight.

IF the fuel tank is not a-simetrical, it may be your right front shock that is warn OR the shock mounting rubber at the top where it is bolted to the body may be torn causing that shock to not function properly. Had that on an Audi.

First of all, basic things to check is the battery. Is the battery ampage sufficient for your car? Re-check connections.

The clicking you hear is the solenoid in the starter motor. Maybe attempt to bridge the connection yourself to rule out solenoid problems.

When it was fitted, are you sure it was properly aligned? Sometimes with these things, it's best to take it out and start again.

SOURCE: hi i have a vw polo 2003 1.2, basically before i

that's...thirty liters or so?...10.4 liters per hundred. I'm getting 30 UK MPG...that sounds rather low for a 1.2 . it should be getting 35-40, I believe. better get yourself a tuneup if you can afford it.

SOURCE: How do I change the alternator in my vw polo p reg

Alternator belt routing — all except VR6, with power steering, no A/C


  1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
  2. Disconnect the wiring from the alternator. If necessary, mark the wires with tape or other means to ensure they are connected properly upon installation.
  3. Loosen the belt tension, and remove the drive belt from the alternator. On VR6 (AAA) engines only, remove the belt tensioner from the cylinder head.
  4. Remove the alternator adjustment bolt, followed by the pivot bolts.
  5. Carefully lift the alternator from the bracket. To install:
  6. Hold the alternator in position on the mounting bracket, and install the pivot bolt. On later engines with automatic belt tensioners, install the upper mounting bolt.
  7. Install (but do not tighten) the alternator adjustment bolt (earlier models only).
  8. Place the alternator drive belt on the pulley.
  9. Adjust belt tension and tighten the mounting and adjustment bolts as necessary.
  10. Connect the wiring to the alternator. If tape was used to identify the wires, make sure it is removed once the wires are connected.
  11. Connect the negative battery cable.

Why do i have lack of heat and low heat gauge reading on a dodge caliber 2007 2.0 and 115,000 miles s

I would bet the check engine light is on as well?

Low temp gauge and the lack of heat is typically the result of a bad thermostat. I would also bet that you fuel economy has nose dived as well. A new thermostat should get the engine running at the correct temp and restore the heat to the passenger compartment.
