UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

When my "bought new" 2000 VW Passat 4Motion went into my local dealership for its 1st MOT, they noticed that it needed one of the head lights adjusting - and then promptly broke the adjuster!. So that meant a few days delay to order in a new "empty" head light assembly, then an h...

I replaced the front bearing on my wife's 2015 VW Polo 1.2TSI 110PS, and the tool that I bought was for 72mm bearings. Now, before I bought this tool, this 2015 VW Polo was NOT included as being a car that it could be used on, but, I looked into what sizes the bearings were for that car, and they tu...

Just be aware that the cost will be very high, I retro fitted front parking system into my 2011 Audi S4 when it was 4 years old, I carried that update out as per what would have been done at initial factory build. I bought the controller, buzzer/speaker and correct replacement switch panel used, all...

I think exhaust sleeve clamps without the dimple will work as well. The clamps on the VW part seem to be mild steel. Was it the clamp that rust out or the connecting pipe material? Oh yes, just the mild steel clamps! The worst of the damage/wear and tear to the split connecting piece was rust stain...

The first "red arrow" in the diagram above is the flexi section. The part number of the joining piece I fitted was 1KO 253 141 M but I think that the design has now been changed to either make these joining pieces more robust or just cheaper (to manufacture). You could just fit any suitabl...

This is a well know issue with all VW Group at least petrol, cars, usually around the 8 years 50,000miles mark one of the joining piece clamps ends up rusting all the way through and so needing replaced before the second one does the same. For me, it was the spotting of lots of bits of rust had sudd...

I'm afraid it is not brilliant news, the number was 6Q0 122 447 AN was for autos, now it seems - comments are 01/09/2022 dropped without any replacement! As usual, maybe using these numbers in ebay etc might point you to some NOS being sold. Good Luck! Edit:- one used from a breaker, used - one new ...

I've just realised that my suggestion that it could have been a rusting spring ring in the dust cover for your front brakes, is total nonsense! It seems, from your description or re-assembling things after fitting seals and new dust covers, that your FS111 callipers have "soft" dust covers...

Please watch this video Rum4mo it’s very interesting , not a polo but a golf that’s 6 months old. https://youtu.be/troc9DDaJkM?si=Cuezw3amFVTA0grM Very interesting! I wonder when the car industry started adding back in a clutch into the AC compressor, maybe when R1234yf refrigerant started to get u...

It is designed this way to be ‘on’ by default to keep the gas moving around the system ,if you don’t use it often enough the seals fail and you loose the gas. I think that that is a very old fact, nowadays it is just a story, since the introduction variable displacement AC compressors, ie they don'...

As said already, it is a 6C Polo, but if you want to be sue about the engine, look under the bonnet, if it is a belt driven cam shaft engine, the cam belt cover will be black plastic and there will be an engine designation label on it CJZC which is the 90PS version. If you want another way to check ...

If you plan to keep this car, why not just buy a copy of the official workshop manual from somewhere, like easymanuals.co.uk - it tends to get sent out over the internet, mine has been very useful for torques etc, include "can be reused" - "replace" in respect to fixings. On that...

If you had access to the official VW Group parts listing, you would see that there is a comment along side the front brake pads, which indicates that you just chop off the wear sensor wiring. I spent quite a long time trying to find new front pads that did not have a wear sensor - and failed, I thou...

I plan to replace the V-Belt quite soon as my wife's Polo 1.2TSI 110PS SEL, is an August 2015 car, mileage at its 9th birthday will be roughly 50,000miles. You should check the condition of this belt at service time, if it is showing any signs of cracks appearing on the micro grooves, then it is tim...
