Re: Pinging noise and hot engine 1.4 BBZ

My first thoughts are, the air/oil separator is letting too much engine oil through into the inlet area. You might find that your engine is using oil and if so, that would confirm what I'm suggesting.
Also, the pinging/knocking, if what I'm suggesting is true, is being caused by the oil which is not ...

Re: No heating in the cabin

If you took it to a VAG Indie sort of garage for diagnosis, then they would have fully compatible scan tool to check what was being reported as being faulty - and to run BASIC SETTINGS on the cabin air system, ie HVAC - if any of the flap motors were causing a problem, they should have told you ...

Re: Gearbox Mount

I can't find any reference to that number for 6C Polo, the first group of letters/numbers looks odd.

It was 6Q0 199 851 AS that is still listed for 1.2TSI both power outputs for the dog bone, the gearbox mounting was 6Q0 199 555 AR - and you can check the number punched/stamped into the metalwork ...

Re: Gearbox Mount

It was the gearbox mounting that caused that on my wife's August 2015 VW Polo 1.2TSI 110PS 6MT.

For some reason, VW Group used the "petrol" engine version on all the petrol engines even the turbo charged ones - and that caused many people to complain, then some time later, I think, they started ...

Re: Help with jacking up car with a dsg

I've worked on the brakes of my older daughter's 2019 Leon Cupra - ie a car with DSG, and I've always left it in neutral, as you must if you want to rotate the front hubs.

Handbrake on when working on the front wheels, in Park if necessary without the handbrake on if working on the rear hubs.

Re: Timing belt question

Obviously yes, but that small belt is only turning a small load and so is not subject to the issues that can influence the cambelt's reliable service life period.
There are no "metal on metal" collisions that will wreck things, only a rise in engine temperature which the driver should be able spot ...

Re: Replacing broken fuel filter clip

Maybe a bit late in noticing this, but, VW Group do provide a repair kit for these connections at the fuel filter, I bought a couple for a 2002 VW Polo 1.4 16V - but in the end never got round to replacing the fuel filter.

I think that there are/were 2 pipe diameter size kit options.

The kits also ...

Re: Timing belt question

Your 2017 VW Polo 1.0TSI will be an EA211 engine, this car you are talking about will also be an EA211 engine, obviously designs and production standard builds evolve continuously, but they are basically the same engine.

Seeing as you have mentioned the water pump, on all these engines from this ...

Re: Timing belt question

Another way of looking at this is, if that used car is going to be owned and used by her for maybe the next 4 years, why not just get this work done now and so that should stop any of you worrying about exactly when to get this work done going forward.

These new cambelts are manufactured to be a ...

Re: Buying a 6C - what to check on the test drive?

Hello and welcome to the 6C Polo 1.2TSI!

First auto Stop/Start - there is a dedicated button that you can press every time you restart the engine, doing that might seem like being a pain in the bottom, but it will help you avoid getting unease until you are happy to do this itself - also it will ...

Re: 2011 6R 1.2 Polo - Power Steering Issue

Just a complete guess here, maybe the car does not have a steering position sensor under the steering wheel and the replacement pump came from a car that did have have and use that sensor - instead of the sensor on the steering rack.

I'm lucky, while running and looking after a 2002 VW Polo 1.4 and ...

Re: Air Con Still Seemingly Leaking Despite Repairs. Any Help?

I hope that you "wetted" the new O-rings with a PAG oil or some other suitable lubricant before fitting them, if you didn't, there is a good possibility that one or both have gone damaged with re-assembling things.

I always like to get a print out of the complete factory PR codes for any cars I cold end up working on, it is extensive and having that makes buying spares from aftermarket "a way down the line", so much easier.

Re: 2006 Polo Dune Rear Shocks advise

Have you ever thought or tried, to get a copy of "CAR DATA" for this car, if you get/got that, you would end up with the exact option ie PR: codes for everything and that will include rear damping - and that would let you match that info with what is on the VW parts listings.

I've had a quick look ...
