UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

I thought I’d share this in case it helps someone… downlights are great for working in tight spaces. They are 240v powered so no batteries to run flat, they often have two hooks on them to latch onto almost anything, and they emit lots of light. I’ve used them on multiple jobs from working in my eng...

It wouldn’t surprise me if the constituents of the VW / liqui moly cleaner were practically identical :lol: I did read about fuel additives not being able to access the site of carbon buildup due to the direct injection nature of the engine. Perhaps the fuel additives are meant to clean the injector...

The normal side of… :lol: :wink: Lucky enough for me the Australians have excellent :roll: fuel *cough* I mean additive standards compared to the EU. — That’s a really long list of countries! Wow. I don’t think I’ll bother with it then based on the sound of things. Thanks Ciclo and 2226. On an unrel...

I am wondering what the general consensus around the recommended G001770A2 fuel additive is for a CJZC 1.2L TSI engine. From what I can find online, the opinion seems to be somewhat split as to whether it is worth using it. I’m curious as to whether the fellow forum members use such a fuel additive.

I recently did the spark plugs on my 2016 1.2L TSI Polo. I’ll drop the link to my post where I asked lots of questions about the process It may be of use to you in case you haven’t seen it already: viewtopic.php?t=78888

Perhaps you could disassemble your key by following one of the many guides in YouTube (such as https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JmcxyVachho ). It should be pretty apparent what is sticking once you have a look inside. They do look a bit finicky to reassemble though, so be ready for that. From here you ...

It's normal for both cylinder to miss this part. Cables are too short. I suppose that makes sense (although I thought the cable on cylinder three could totally of had one if VW tried :)). I didn’t think to check the wiring loom on ETKA like ciclo did. I’ll know for next time. — That’s good to hear ...

I also meant to ask if one can order the wire cover from the ignition coils as an individual component. The ignition coil wire covers on cylinder three and four are missing, compared to cylinder one and two. Perhaps they were lost at some point by a workshop when I didn’t own the car. I can’t see an...

I changed the spark plugs today! Everything went stunningly well. The ignition coil pulled worked well and the wire hose clamp tool was amazing to have (I’m never going back to a non-wire hose clamp tool - I can’t recommend the wire hose clamp tool enough). The old spark plugs in cylinder one, two, ...

Do you perhaps know what such a metal ring would be called to search for the correct one? The size would be M6 given by ETKA, so maybe M6 metal collet… which doesn’t show anything useful on Google images, so I not sure what to search for.

I see!

My apologies it is the DQ200 (7 speed) and not the DQ250 (6 speed) like I had said. I meant to change this but it was a late night

I am wondering if anyone on the forum has experienced a lag of about a few seconds from igniting the engine to actually being able to move in drive? It doesn’t worry me, I am only curious as to why this is, as many other cars that I have driven (a Mitsubishi ASX as an example) can move almost instan...

What site or application is that? I'm sure you've given that before; I just can never remember. The downloaded PDF service tables from erWin (Volkswagen’s official repair and maintenance documentation platform). — I agree with JUUL re: -the timing belt being changed adding value to the car. When I ...

The doors went on with great success while I am awaiting the delivery of the replacement parts that were broken. I have managed to locate and order all required parts. However, there is a metal insert that sits in the plastic of the door card where the lower-most bolt sits. Here are some photos of t...
