  • The start of my new small project. "Fix the Fox!"
    I run through doing a basic service on this great little run around, and next week we will get on to fixing the remaining little niggles.

    Great informative video, I bought a VW Fox back in 2010. I still have it and I hope to have it for a few more years yet. Truly underrated cars, love ours.

      @@Leee4444 that’s true, when I bought mine I went to look at a year old Fox that was at the main VW dealer. I ended up buying a brand new one. The one I still have today. 12 year old, original exhausts, bulbs and only replaced the battery last year because it developed a fault in the boot lock. Apparently this was common and happened mainly while they were under warranty. Took 11 years to develop on mine. Awesome cars and often overlooked sadly 👍

    It's 1.2 6V, check your camshaft timing chain if You wish to ride a little bit longer ;), it's a common failure on those engines. Chain should be for 300k + km but they failed with that. Check also compresion, if it's 4-5 bar that means valves are messed up and they need replace :). Cheers m8!

    i have to correct you at 1:35 left hand drive has the same weird glove box shape on mine x) i hate it but the "compartment" under the driver seat saves my butt for most of the things i need in my car :D

      Thanks for the info ! I normally find that the lhd versions of cars have the full glove box, funny how this one doesn't.

    Thank you very good video. Have a 2011 plate 1.2 urban fox. One of the coils is to be replaced. Would be interested in seeing more on your progress on the fox and your views on how it compares with predecessor. cheers.

      I think I say in the description, but sent it off to a company and cost be £80, if I could sourse a new LCD screen then this fix would have worked.

    How many Liters does the VW FOX need ?

    • @Leee4444
      @Leee4444  2 года назад

      If the filter is removed and drained it is 4.2 litres, so a 5 litre bottle will be perfect.

      Yeah can confirm it's about 2.5L, replaced oil on my 1.2 many times by now. Buying a 5L bottle is always a good idea though.
