    Nice work on the polo! Always nice to save a few quid too. The wheels suits the car and the caliper colour is nice too!

    Suggest clear coating over the sticker on the caliper, they will look more oem and last longer without peeling off with the heat, gppd job so far though.

      Thanks for the tip I might just do that

    I think you need to put a nut and bolt on that fuel filter to hold it in and the calipers are looking a lot better.👍👍👍👍👍

    Have you tried cleaning or replacing the idle air control valve to fix the idling issue? They're relatively cheap.

    • @RevivingSalvage
      @RevivingSalvage  5 месяцев назад

      I’ve changed the pcv valve and the air intake sensor I will look into it bud thanks very much for the advice I really appreciate it

    I rang VW for a service kit for a Polo im doing, 1.2 Petrol, he said filter is a filter for life and doesn’t need swapping on the service…. I didnt argue lol

    • @RevivingSalvage
      @RevivingSalvage  5 месяцев назад

      It's interesting that VW mentioned the filter is a 'filter for life.' While some modern cars have longer-lasting filters, it's always a good idea to follow the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule and guidelines. If you're ever in doubt, getting a second opinion or checking the owner's manual can be helpful. But I would still replace regardless just for peace of mind lol

      What is "for life" 100k 10yrs? Filters are cheap and easy to change. Personally, i change my filters every second service (10k). Anyone who thinks gearbox oil never needs changing or 20k oli changes is fine deserves to ger expensive repair bills.

    All looking very good mate - re throttle body could your pinch it off your sons car to prove the point ?

    • @RevivingSalvage
      @RevivingSalvage  5 месяцев назад

      I think the throttle body is different on his as it’s diesel but thanks for the advice

    What happened to the 10Ksubs Top Don give away or have i missed something?

    • @RevivingSalvage
      @RevivingSalvage  5 месяцев назад

      very true, you haven't missed it I just have got around to giving it away, That is still on my to do list I will definitely be giving it away soon though. So don't worry you could still be in with a chance bud

    I was wasting my time with primer and lacquer then! Not happy with zipping a fuel filter. Bet that’s a mot failure ? The rear discs looked shagged to me. Not looking like a massive profit here

    • @RevivingSalvage
      @RevivingSalvage  5 месяцев назад

      I think the spray I used is designed to be used directly onto the caliper but primer wouldnt hurt and would probably give a better finish. I think I will be going back over them with lacquer later on just to give them added protection so you definitely haven't wasted your time. I agree with the cable-tie I did try to replace the bolt but unfortunately it was to far gone and I just replaced like for like but I will definitely make it secure. As for the brakes honestly they are nearly new just don't show well on the camera, cheers for the feedback

    • @roxieloot
      @roxieloot 5 месяцев назад

      Rear brakes are totally fine. Fuel filter is not a fail. Stop being a hater. it's obvious you ain't got a clue about working on cars. Why replace parts that are totally safe & and serviceable?

  • @bonjourchimaple1150
    @bonjourchimaple1150 5 месяцев назад +1

    Never seen anyone do what you do everything you touch never goes back right again mate your a serious liability I’d have a good think off what you want todo because your going to hurt Somone selling cars that are not even safe

      Keep your negative opinions to yourself mate! He's doing an amazing job! Tackling things I would be too worried to and yet he's doing a stellar job!
