Just bought a 04 1.9 tdi sport
Hello All,
Just bought myself a 04 Polo Tdi sport 5 door.
Has the following options:
- Electronic climate control
- Electric rear windows
- parking sensor
- rain sensor & auto dimming rear view mirror
- cruise control
- 16" barcelona alloys
- Metallic reflex silver paint
- Mud flaps
- Mats
There are a few things I am confused about:-
- The VW garage gave me two keys, but both are 'normal' type keys. The car has central locking and I presumed this was remote central locking as the brochure suggested? If it has then surely I should have one of the VW flip type key fob with buttons on it?
- The brochure says this car has an alarm, but I cannot see where the sensors are inside the car?
Many thanks for any help.

If its a sport you should have 2 3 button remotes with the flip key and full alarm with sensors. These are located in the grill thing by the interior light.
You don't say whether it is a 1.4 or a 1.9 but this shouldn't make a difference.
Go back and complain as this isn't what the brochure stipulated. Failing that I have a 3 button key lying around if you want one.

yeah, flip out keys were given to factory fitted alarms even to non sport models.jrw wrote:If its a sport you should have 2 3 button remotes with the flip key and full alarm with sensors. These are located in the grill thing by the interior light.

and as jrw said, the sensors are hidden in the grill beside the front interior light. (i questioned my dealer bout this too ... as i didnt know that the sensors were hidden)
welcome to the forum and enjoy your Polo 9n

Thanks for the info,
The car is a 1.9 by the way.
How can I check if the car is uk spec?
The service book states a VW dealer in Glasgow where the car originated, but the sticker in the inside cover says 'Polo A04 TDI TREND' would have thought it should say SPORT?
Also, there is no centre armrest on the rear seat where I thought there should have been?

hiya, and welcome to uk-p!
When i bought my 1.4 fsi sport, i had to add remote central-locking as an option, as back then only 'manual' key-operated central locking came as standard even on sport model... dunno if the specs have since changed?
Also, i believe the central armrest in the back is exclusive to SE trim.
Hope that's useful?!

Jesus, just looked on the VW website, the HAVE removed Remote locking from the standard Sport equipment
So thats another nicety off the Sport then, thanks to the GT they've made it one of the most useless models in the range! I guess the only good thing is that it makes my pretty much standard Sport model look fully specced up now!

if you look at your VIN number and compare it with thiscjdriver wrote:Ok, how can I tell when my Sport was made, it was registered on the 28/08/2004. It also has the body coloured side and bumper strips which I think makes it fairly recent.

you can find out when and where it was made.
hope this helps
For my VIN number it has the number 5 which indicates 2005 (is this the model year or manufacturing date?)
Also, in the boot on the left hand side there is a rubber strap that looks like it should hold a fire extinguisher or something? Anyone know what should be there and if I should have one?
In the inside lip on the boot there are 2 rubber straps that look like they hold a warning triangle, this is also not there, should I have one?
