Front emblem replacement
Posted: Sun Mar 01, 2020 7:00 pm
After coming back home from a trip out in the country, I noticed that my front VW emblem has a stone chip.
Replacement is freely available from about 15 Euros for a used part, up to about 50 Euros on ebay or amazon. I haven't bothered to enquire at the agents....
In order to remove the emblem use a thin flat screwdriver and gently pry out the emblem starting from about 10 o'clock where the first clip is located. It comes out pretty easy.
Since I have another VW at home I decided to see if the parts are interchangeable. The other car is a 2018 VW Passat TDi also with ACC.
Although the part numbers are different, the emblems are exactly the same size and shape and a interchangeable. So if you ever need to find one of these you don't have to look for one necessarily from a Polo.
Below are the pictures of both emblems. Take note where the clips are: three on top. The bottom two are in fact hooks, so take out the top part and the bottom slides out. Fitting: First insert the bottom hooks, then clip the top part in place.
Level of difficulty: very easy
Time spent: 5 minutes
