I don't know, i have never tried it. Under useful parts there is a link for ELSA WIN online there you can find the procedure. You will need a special tool to lock the cams and crankshaft in TDC. Im currently re-newing the whole front end, bushings, joints, drive shafts... Thanks Pal will look it up...

@amer6R do you know how to replace the drive belt in a 1.2?

Go ahead weld it, add pieces of wire to make it stronger. Yes the bottom part doesn't matter, there are bolts from the side that tie in the cross beam to the radiator support and in your case these points are not damaged. It will be all fine. That part probably broke because something hit your bump...

You cant without removing the radiator. ( At least i dont know how) I think it not possible. I have trimmed my "radiator support" almost half way up to be able to squeeze a big intercooler. I have no issues. I know that where your part is broken that it screws in the front lip of the bump...

Yeah all out job. But when you remove the support beam 4x 13 mm bolts, and 4 tx30 for rad support when you put it back add firstly the bottom 13 mm bolts and then 2x tx30 rad support then pull the cross beam up. Then add 2x tx 30 and top 2x13 mm cross beam bolts. Make sure that you pull the cross b...

Well guys more surprises :| Sorted out the panel gaps finally and was installing the screws at the bottom of bumper to be greeted with broken plastic which I never noticed before. Anyways removed the bumper again to find that the whole rad slam panel is broken from underneath :shock: :roll: Is it a ...

If you cant replace it give the fender and surrounding area quick buff it will help hide in fresh painted panel.

Exact question I asked the fella on Ebay. The listing said LB9A Candy White.

I am going to invest in a DA mate.

Not so easy mate, been looking on Ebay like a hawk trying to find one and also been calling breakers however nothing to avail.

Do you mean polish the replacement panel? The new panel has a blueish tint

The thing is I bought a branch new pre-painted wing from ebay and the quality of it turned out to be shocking :( :evil: I am quite sure it will prevent me from getting a perfect fitment :cry: The paint doesn't even match, the seller is suggesting my paint has faded https://i.ibb.co/ZdmkmpL/20210817-...

Thanks Amer6R for the suggestion. Gonna have a play on weekend to get it perfect

Guys anybody here know best way to adjust a wing on a polo?

I fitted the new wing and I can't seem to get the gap right at the door

Far better now

on each bracket for the headlight you will have these two kind of brackets. https://www.picclickimg.com/d/l400/pict/202426167897_/New-Genuine-Vw-Polo-6R-2010-2016-Headlight-Mounting.jpg The headlight clips into them. They are held in by one bolt, the bolt head is visible from underneath. If we are ...

Thanks Guys for the help. Unfortunately the bracket on Polo's are non adjusting. The screw only tightens the mounting bracket. However, it turned out that the wing bracket was also bent :( So after a few hammer and alot of adjusting I got the gap sorted. There is still a very tiny gap but I don't ha...
