General Car Chat / Re: Polo G40 for sale
Last post by madigang40 - February 22, 2025, 05:24:52 PMhey Sam
The charger was serviced and belt replaced last year with a handful of miles done since. Got my 1st proper drive out in it today and I had a smile from ear to ear!

Last post by samg40 - February 17, 2025, 02:19:04 PMI'd be changing the charger timing belt at the very least before running it btw. There is a guide on here I think on how to do it.

Flew down to London from the north east of Scotland to view this G on the weekend, I went with a long list and intention to check every nut and bolt before contemplating buying but when the garage door opened I was SOLD! This G is coming to Scotland and I cant wait to cherish it.
A dream come true

Last post by PeteG40 - February 08, 2025, 02:57:19 PMIt's been for sale for a long time, probably due to the price which started something like 16k.
They are still 30+ years old, so bushes, corrosion etc can still get the better of them when stored.

General Car Chat / Polo G40 for sale
Last post by madigang40 - February 04, 2025, 02:23:04 PMHey Folks,
After owning a Mk2 Polo GT for my first car I have always pined for a G40...20+ years later I see there is one for sale at a garage just south of London. Its been up for sale for a couple years so many of you may know of it? Other than the price is there a reason why this hasn't sold before now? Going to view but anxious its a rotter in a fancy dress.
any advise would help.

Last post by hayesey - January 29, 2025, 12:34:56 PMQuote from: TOMG40 on September 22, 2024, 01:55:57 PMGood advice thanks, hopefully I'll get around to doing the t belt this week
If anyone has any advice about posting pics on here,would be much appreciated. I've got a lot of pics of my old G40 from about 10 years ago I'd like to share.
you're using google photos already so it's not too hard. When you've got one of those links you posted above open in a web browser, right click the photo and select "copy image address" (that's from Chrome if you're using some other browser the wording might be slightly different). Then when making a post on here, click the "Insert an Image" icon which looks like a screen with a green circle at the bottom right. Then you can just paste in the copied address to the image and it'll appear in your post. You can put in a height & width if you want it to appear smaller.
