So is mine a 6R or 6c I thinks it’s 88bhp is that correct?

Also anyone know when you need a cam belt change? It’s currently on 47,000

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 which Polo model type you have, again look into the engine compartment, the turbo charger and exhaust should be on the side of the engine nearest the cabin if it has a belt driven cam shaft - in other words, if you look down the front of the engine, ie the side nearest the bonnet catch/headlights, you should not see a turbo charger or exhaust down there, just an air charge cooler.
