Going to do a full service this weekend on the 2003 1.4 tdi.

Looking to do the gearbox oil. Is there anything I should look for beyond the normal?

Thank you.


Going to do a full service tomorrow, anything I should look for beyond the normal.

Hi all,

Looking to change the brake fluid over the weekend. Just wondering does anyone know what tube size fits over the bleed nipple in the 9n.

Thanks in advance.

Yeah your right not at a dealer. But I did have the bearings put in by someone fully kitted out garage myself. It was put in by a press not a hammer and piece of wood job.

All, Hope you are well. Am having both front bearings replaced on my 2003 1.4 tdi. Had the first set changed and you could hear the bearing scrape against the cv boot while you drive.

Thank you for that.

Need the rubber grommet that surrounds the dipstick in the engine cover for 2003 polo 1.4 tdi.

Unsure if others fit.

Let me know.

Hi, Looking around to solve the annoying problem of no remote central locking on my 9N. Found the below link, has anyone used this kit and is it an OEM fit and function? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-POLO-KEYLESS-ENTRY-REMOTE-CENTRAL-LOCKING-FACTORY-CENTRAL-LOCKING-/301315232626?pt=UK_Car_Accessories...

Hi all, Hope you are well. Currently having issues with my 2003 1.4 tdi. Recently its had trouble starting, assumed it was the battery and had it changed. Still has the same fault. Then the glow plug light began to flash with the engine management light fixed on. This caused the starting issue to be...
