  1. Yes it does, but in my experience it does not howl if the battery is disconnected, although at this point the back up battery is at least 10 years old 

     

    Just be aware that steering, windows and various other bits need to be reset when the battery is reconnected 

  2. I don't think that there is any fuel filter, I think it's pre filtered in the tank and the injectors have a gauze filter, spark plugs are good for 80k, as for the timing belt, I would just change the belt and check everything else (water pump, tensioner and auxiliary belt tensioner bearing)

  3. The Delta 1.4 multiair is a hoot to drive, it's basically a Fiat Bravo/Alfa Giulietta in a more stylish package, it's built by Lancia on behalf of Chrysler and is the exact same as the original Lancia delta 

     

    It will make the Polo feel like a slug in comparison, 140bhp and 40mpg is not too shabby 

    Interiors are tough and durable, if not a little dull

    No modifications on our car and at 70k miles, still on the original front discs and pads, the last of the original tyres lasted until 60k miles 

    As I said, it's basically a nice Fiat Bravo so parts availability is easy enough, I do my own maintenance and have never not been able to get parts 

  4. I would start with the level unit in the fuel tank, as it's the only moving part in the system.

    The dash generally doesn't give problems

    Could be a wiring issue, but generally when that happens, it's either showing full or empty
