Thanks for the quick reply Alex. I'll have to see if I can find the right parts and get a friend who's a bit more of a car expert to help me replace them.

It's to the right hand side of the engine. If you follow the top radiator Hose towards the engine you'll be at the thermostat housing

That doesn't look like a 6N2. What year is your polo?

Ah. This guide isn't for that model

Would suggest you post in the 6R section and somebody will be able to provide guidance.
