[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

As much as I would like to repair your car online, this is just not possible, with the kind of problems you have it is best to consult a good mechanic near you, sorry Rabe.

Hello, thank you very much How can the crankshaft pulley be removed?

[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

There are various methods, the main thing is the engine needs to be blocked from turning so the crank pulley bolt can be loosened, I normally use the cranking engine method and a power bar.

Hi. What normally cause the Polo BAH engine to make rattling noise during cold start

[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

Lifters

[@Sifelani_01]

How much can this cost me Gary? I have oil getting into the 1st 2 cylinders close to the oil cap and my car misfires every morning

[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

It does sound like you have multiple faults, oil leaks, and a misfire, which may not be related, the fact that the car misfires in the morning is a concern, does it only misfire on start-up or during normal use too, are you losing coolant?

[@Sifelani_01]

Only on start up especially but it didn’t misfire yesterday and this morning. I loose coolant a lot as a matter of I have stopped buying antifreeze because I need to fill up every week so I just use normal water

[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

You may have water getting into the combustion chambers due to a leaking head gasket, the misfire on most mornings could be the spark plugs burning the water that seeps into the combustion chambers overnight, I recommend you to have a cylinder leakage test done or a chemical monoxide test to determine if you have exhaust gasses getting into your cooling system causing water loss.
