"D" for "Date"?

Now I've had a think, it could be "Datum, a fixed point??" No matter so long as I'm looking for the correct part number..

Apologies as I think I may have asked this question quite some time back but just can't find the thread. I have a little niggle that has slowly become worse overtime. I'm finding that when I come off the power the car won't settle to a normal tick-over of around 680rpm. Instead is settling to 800, 1...

Am I interpreting the date code correctly? I assume D >> - 06.06.2011 is everything up to that date. And D - 06.06.2011>> - 05.03.2012 is everything between the two dates. I guess the D would be German for something or other? Volkswagen Polo (2010 - 2012) 15 accelerator pedal with electronic module ...

Can you see any indication of where it is rubbing? If the tyre is making contact it should be leaving a tell-tail on the chassis or wheel arch liner. Have you checked the ride heights are the same left and right? Have you looked under the car for damage to the suspension? We've got pot-holes you cou...

If it's just the left side? I'd check for a broken spring on that side. Does the car look like it sits lower on one side or the other?

Hi having same issue how did you manage to get it all off what did you use if you don’t mind me asking if you can buy dry ice use it. Puty dry ice over it, let if be for few minutes. And it will come off no glue residue. If not you can use a scraper, heat, gasoline etc. to clean ( its a mess) also ...

I use Malwarebytes for virus/malware protection and I'm getting way more "site blocked" pop-up from this site. Mostly riskware alerts from i.ibb.co domain. I suspect the adds rather than the forum itself. Didnt used to be a problem at all. It's almost every visit now.

Be careful with how much water because it overflows to other areas outside off sill. When I blasted water from front towards back, it filled the compartment near the rear beam ( there are rubber grommets) Just blast wax from inside it helps a lot. I also added wax on bottom, along the edge. I think...

Well not been near the Polo much because of some health issues but finally managed to give the car a long deserved wash. Much to my horror I've noticed a tiny rust bubble on the passenger side sill right in front of the rear arch. It looks like water has somehow crept under the seam-sealer on the re...

Thank you , you say it won't cause any issues , how ever i still have the issues above where the EPC light come on from time to time if i put my foot down ( i was told it could be the actuator or turbo ) could this not be the issue for the EPC kicking in ? I wouldn't have thought so. As I said mine...

It's just a little non return valve, it won't cause any issues for driving. Other than it's letting oil mist out of the crankcase. It's a "known problem" on the 1.2Tsi CBZ engines they are just flimsy and not up to the job. I replaced mine 3-4 years back and it's been fine since. I just ch...

The 1.2Tsi doesn't have a harmonic damper built into the crank-pulley like many diesels and larger capacity engines, its basically just a plain pulley bolted to the end of the crank. It's only for air-con and water pump on the CBZB. All the timing is done via the crank and cam sprockets. Crank sproc...

@ciclo
Cheers for the PDF link, very helpful as always

A very interesting video, set the subtitles to your language in case you don't know Russian yet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCPPYchl2sE Great little video that. I replaced the little breather valve on mine as it had broken exactly as shown there. I'm always hunting on "how to's" for ...

Vibration or rattle? I found that mine had a rattle/rhythm. I chased it down to the fuel line that runs under and up through the chassis to emerge in the engine bay. Hold the pipe no rattle. Let go and rattle returns. I fixed mine by placing some stiff foam next to the pipe close to where it exits. ...
