I was a member on there while I had a polo, got another fabia vrs so came back on here. Just got another polo so revisited club polo, its horrendous. Its poorly laid out compared to briskoda and unless you have and old polo or 6n/ 6n2 there is not much hope of help. I wish all forums were as helpful and easy to use as briskoda.

I have an oldish Polo (9N/53), but since acquiring it around Christmas time I haven't really bothered going on Club Polo.

 

I joined it years ago to help a mate who had an ABS light on his (02?) car, which I eventually found there was a thread about on there which found it to be merely a blown 40A strip-fuse. Had I been a Skoda owner on Briskoda back then, I dare say I'd have found the rather good thread on the subject on here, where literally dozens of people have been saved big bills by discovering this cracked fuse. I seem to remember that no-one answering my thread on there knew of this issue, or that thread where it was solved.  So I PM'ed a moderator on there and suggested that it would be a good thread to make easy-to-find by sticky-ing or putting into an FAQ section, as it had just saved my mate several hundred pounds. No reply from the mod. I haven't looked to see whether they're up-to-speed on the issue now, but nothing was done back then. Disappointing!

 

On the other hand, the only way it'll get better is if more people get involved, I guess. 

I wish all forums were as helpful and easy to use as briskoda.

 

I think a lot of people with agree with you Steve.

I've just been on to have a look at the forum and wow, how do you navigate through that? They don't have sections for the different types? They split it down to bodywork, wheels ect? Really? I'd have thought MK1 MK2 ect?

They do split it but only for projects and it takes some navigating. Going to leave it and stick to brisky, its the mechanicals I need answers with and as its the 1.4tdi as in the fabia, I should be ok.

Makes sense for them when you think about it. Briskoda covers a whole Marque, with each model being based on a totally different platform, so a superb owner wouldn't be bothered about a felicia problem and a felicia owner wouldn't be bothered about a Citi-go problem. So it makes sense to have different forums for different models. 

 

There's only really been 4 different platforms for the Polo in 40 years, and the first one spanned about half of that period. So if you've got a problem with your brakes, someone with a car ten years newer could have the solution, and a lot of the people with the answers have had more than one, so if they were sat in a forum which covered 4 years of the cars run, they'd hardly talk to anyone. Realistically, you ask a question on there and chances are, you've got an answer in a day.

 

That and where would you put a mk2 with mk3 running gear, a mk5 engine and a fuel system off a bike? 

 

But then I help run the place, so I would say that. 

 

I drive an Ibiza TDI Sport (aka a Mk1 Fabia VRS, or a Polo 9n TDI Sport) and there's 3 forums I get my info from:

 

Here, which is good so long as you don't let slip it's not really a fabia, otherwise no one talks to you. Iwas on here anyway from when I had my pickup.

Club Polo, where we don't have a lot of info on the newer stuff, but ask a question and you get an answer

Seat Cupra.net - To be honest, it's a brilliant site, full of information. If I do a google search for a problem, it's normally there that's got the answer. 

UK-Polos.net seems a better place for Polo owners and the 6R/6C section is reasonably active.

Try seatcupra.net then. 1,000,000 sections
