Wally, I kind of suggested it was dark! Yet you are still disappointed :lol:

My Polo is using up more water than ever, about 1 litre every 100mile :? It has a new water pump fitted over summer and the new Elring headgasket is in the boot with the tools to change it roadside in about 1.5 hours. I will have the 411 ready before the Polo head ever gets a skim.... Did you see my Polo in the background there? :lol:

Had a friend with a Diesel Rabbit acting like your Polo, except it could evacuate its cooling system in under 2 minutes. It was a 2-cylinder Diesel and a 2-cylinder water pump...after the head cracked, that is :x
