IF YOU HAVE a Volkswagen Polo 1.2 TDI, pay close attention because the company is recalling 1,256 of them in Ireland.
Today Volkswagen announced it is recalling Polo vehicles produced between 2012 and 2014 with the 1.2 TDI 70bhp engine. Quality assurance at the company has found that, in isolated cases, vibrations can be transmitted to the cover of the fuel filter because of pressure pulstations in the fuel lines and engine pulsations while driving.
“This can crack the filter cover in the area of the supply neck can lead to a fuel smell inside the vehicle and a leak of diesel fuel,” the company said today.
There is no cause for concern and letters will be sent to owners of the affected vehicles where they will be asked to arrange an appointment to have the work completed at their authorised Volkswagen service agent.
The company assured customers that any work carried out as part of this recall will be free of charge.
Consumers who are concerned that they may be affected by the recall can contact Volkswagen customer service on the lo-call number 1850 812 761.

jaysus, can people not give it a rest for even a couple of days? Is that all there is to life -shopping and consuming? Very sad.
My other half said he was slipping down to the local to see if there is a sale on !
Should be called “Chinese Day”!!
Yeah they re-sell them in China for 50% more… Mainland Chinese people will buy anything with a label.
I just saw a man wearing Ugg boots. He was about 50. Is this what we have come too?
In skinny jeans, a beard and clutching a latte frappe crappe shatte too no doubt…
The orientals love the peace sign.
I suppose it beats the nazi salute?
Are they not implying they got two crappy handbags for the price of one?
Handbags which most likely were made in the orient.
Made in China, shipped 1/2 way around the world, retailed at 200% markup to Chinese tourists who then fly them back to the point of origin.
That dude with the 4 handbags is straight to a Chinese factory ready to make replicas
Why does he wani so many? Must be off to Dealz with the change…
theyre probably already made by now albeit in s*** quality. live in your ear., take the eye out of yer head. mind those things.
Sad sad people
There ain’t a bargain in these places you couldn’t get from the comfort of your own home by shopping online if you put a little time into it. I can understand people of a certain vintage running for the deals, but not the younger generation.
online is beating them. the cost of transport alone in to retail is more than the shipping. theyre trying to bring you from online now into retail and follow you through push notifications! haha. not work. people hate them more than the qr codes, they turn off locations for such crap. who wants an app for every retail store? and you really aint going to pay for the transport in there. Bring on the drones.
Pathetic creatures
” and for the record Grafton St is busy but damp” It doesn’t look busy @daraghbroph
And look over there! There’s 20 people outside brown thomas 20 minutes before the doors open.
Keep playing up the economy Journal
A yes festive cheer… A high stool comes to mind.
Festive chair
A big stool after all the Roses more like
Losers. Should stay at home.
No amount of discounts would induce me to go anywhere near the city centre, what with chuggers, LUAS, mayhem, spaced out druggies, marauding youths etc. .Got everything I need from Merrion down to Dun Laoghaire at a much more relaxed pace.
Not many Irish people there
If they live here they must be Irish !
Chinese just can’t stop buying shite…..thy can’t save….
PATHETIC
A free country is one in which people can do (legally) what they want. Unfortunately, we are not free yet – as so many seem to make a life out of criticising the activities beliefs of others. Whether its shopping, religion or politics – we appear to be incapable of accepting an alternative view on things.
Having an opinion or offending someone is not a crime, it’s victimless really. Being judgemental is part of the national psyche of every country. Now, see you later, I have a Stephen’s day swinger party to attend in Silversrpings and I hate to be late as I don’t like seconds.
The difference is Cod – I don’t care, am not interested and just wish you well, in whatever pursuits/activities you desire. Whether it be dating a priest or jumping off wardrobes – but some insist on making their disagreement with these legal uses of time known to us all. When the PMs of France were having extramarital affairs – the voters couldn’t see what the fuss was about! Here….
I’d have to agree with that. The French have it right.
Agreed
Not suggesting having an affair is right but no one else’s business except the people directly involved
Ger Comings, posing as the voice of compassion and reason!! This IS Waterford whispers
A lot of people in this generation having got such a stinging in the recession might never recover the Celtic tiger consumerism and save more.
Hi Daragh, please could you explain the “(s)” after the apostrophe s in Stephens Day?
Because if that S wasn`t in brackets it would be a typo?
I was wondering if it was an Irish thing where we infer it’s a plural Stephens. So you have the grammatical conundrum of apostrophe s denoting the possessive “day belonging to Stephen” followed by another s to denote plural Stephens. Or something like that?
There are no sales really.. nothing much to talk about. All I’ve seen is rubbish
Handbags at dawn !
have your say
