Hi
I have just had a new altenator put in my v reg [1999?] polo. The mechanic also replaced two belts... not sure which ones they were. I think one ofthem had something to do with the altenator and the other I THINK was to do with the power steering. Anyway, I had a test drive in it and I could still smell a LITTLE bit of burning. Could that be because it has new belts? It is not smelling of burning badly but I can smell it.
Also, while I am driving, the light still flashes on the dash board now and again. I am not sure what light that is... it looks like a spiral going sideways. As soon as I break it goes off again. And another new thing has happened now, which never happened before I brought it into the garage... the airbag light popped back on while driving and would only turn off when i turned the car off. This 'airbag light' usually only lights when i turn the car on [it is a diesel car] and turns off and stays off. It has never happened before that it suddenly comes on while driving. I am so frustarted I just spend a lot of money on getting it fixed
If anyone knows of a good mechanic in the Herts Beds and Bucks area please let me know SIgh
