hi guys ,i was wondering if anyone could help me out !
i have a 97 5 door sxe and i love it ,but i was wondering if there were any extras i can fit ? such as side skirts ,lower front and rear bumper spoilers and also maybe m3 mirrors(electric).
also a small problem i have been having !
a few months ago i had a problem with cold starting ,my beezer would not start when cold and i was told to change the engine coolant sensor,this solved the problem but now when driving in cold weather the car cuts out especially when clutching ,the revs seem to drop off and then it cuts out ,a friend says this may be a problem with the timing due to changing the sensor ?
is it just a matter of dropping it into the dealers and getting the timing set ?
please help guys its driving me nuts !!

I had the same problem when I had a polo 1.4 on a 98


Car started fine, went up the road it felt really low on power, as soon as you put the clutch in to change gear the revs would fall v.quickly stalling the car.

Had a service which included plugs and fuel filter and car was fine after.
