Not sure if I've got this right, but it looks very much like there's a recall on the 65hp 1.2 in Germany. Looks like it's for the camshaft seal oil leaks.

Anyone know anything more?

Deek.

I think you're spot on.

Die RÃ¼ckrufaktion betrifft 47kw 1,2l motoren.
Getauscht wird der Simmering und ein Keilriemen.

It says they replace the oil seal (not sure which one - must be the camshaft though) and the timing belt.

Theres already a Workshop Campaign on the 1.2 65bhp model Polos.

Note, I say 'Workshop Campaign' and not 'Recall'. A workshop campaign means the fault is fixed/checked while the car is in for other work (service/warranty issues etc) while if its a recall VW will go to great lengths (through DVLA etc) to contact there customers.
