Volkswagen Polo Club

Hi all, Rob here, new member. I've just bought my son a nice little Polo to learn to drive in and as you'd expect with a 2004 car, it needs a bit of 'TLC'. One of the jobs I want to do is refurb the wheels as the previous owners have neglected the old girl a bit. Finding new sticky backed VW logos to replace the very tatty, faded ones is proving next to impossible. The 90mm ones I bought off fleabay are just a couple of mil too small and not quite convex enough. So, If any one has a set in fair condition, I be happy to buy them if available. I've added a picture of one off fleabay for info, mine are much, much worse! Hoping some one on thi…

Hi there,Trying to remedy a timing issue with the 2006 vag 1.4tdi pd 3 cylinder.It jumped the belt.Components checked all is ok.The issue I have is I understand the cam pulley gets locked into position with the timing tool.I had to remove the pulley and now I am unsure can i just refit the pulley and lock the cam through it with the pin,whenever the top cams have been rotated,or do I need to have it set up some way that it will fire correctly/I havent even tried starting it yet.Any help really appreciated Genie

Hey All Mrs recently got a 61 plate Polo and she loves it, only thing she misses from old car is steering wheel controls. I did do a quick Google but wanted to know if someone could confirm if a retrofit of these controls is possible ? Let me know if you need any more car info. Sorry for any dumb questions im new to VW :-) Regards Dave

My daughter has a 2021 1.0 Polo and it seems to get up to 90 degrees within a minute or so of driving. No water leaks and oil level at half, is this normal as never known a car warm up this fast before

I’ve recently bought this polo after 4 Honda jazz’s the issue I’ve got is at a junction there is a lag then a judder before the car moves off and then it’s no problem it behaves until the next junction it has DSG gearbox any advice??

I've a 2021 GTi+ 19000 miles, coming up for 3 years old,so will need 1st MORT and a service. Could someone advise me what the service should consist of? I seem to find conflicting answers on the internet. It won't be at a VW garage by the way! Thank you. Jeff

Hi, I've just bought a pair of GTi emblems for the front wings of my 6C because they weren't fitted to the car when the previous owner bought it. I'm just wondering if anyone knows the exact placement for them? I know they are like half way down the wing but I want to get them in the right place! Ta Jack

Hi there, i have a mk2f polo breadvan that i have just got a lowering kit for, and was curious about exhaust volumes. Obviously they are not powerful cars, but it would be nice for it to at least sound better than the ka i am sitting next to at the traffic lights, any one know any good de-muffled exhaust systems that fit/straight pipe mod jobs?

Hello, I would like to ask if there is any way to replace my 2001 polo A/C with a VW climatronic. Is there any possibility this could work?

Hello to you all, Newbie here. My granddaughter has bought a 2016 Polo 1.2 and she has asked me to fix the Air con. The light comes on with the switch but there is no power going to the compressor, I would like to get a wiring diagram so I can check it out. Can anyone point me in the right direction. Thank you

Hi does anyone know what the wait time is ordering a brand new Vw polo vehicle?

Hi, I'm trying to reimport my car and need a register with dvla. But in order to fill out the paperwork I need a certificate of conformity / or somewhere to find the information out to fill out the form. Does anyone have a copy of the certificate that they could email me? Hope someone can help. Cheers

Can I replace my 14" wheels with 17" wheels? on my 2002 polo.

Can anyone explain why my 65 plate polo has just this winter started having really thick condensation inside the windscreen, so much so that I have to use a windier cleaners squeegee whenever I want to go anywhere. Plus that fact it’s been freezing inside this past week?

Does anyone know coolant capacity of 1.0 L 2018 Polo. Handbook does not say, but is at pains to warn me not to overfill ! Also, the G40 coolant is available ready mixed from Halfords. Do I assume it has the required distilled water and does it really have to be distilled ? Thanks

Just about to refill the coolant on 2018 Polo 1.0L. According to Halfords it should be G40 then I spot on the expansion tank G13. Will G40 do ?

Capacity of coolant in complete cooling system 1.4 tdi 2tech bluemotion what is total capacity of coolant needed to refill the cooling systemy after emptying

Hi all My daughter has a 2018 Polo listed as 999CC. I want to know where the level indicator is on the dipstick. There are two indents on the dipstick at about 1 and 3 cm's then a plastic 'pip' about 5Cm further up. Car isn't here to photograph so attached is my best Take Hart attempt ! PoloDipstick.pdf

When it gets over a certain temperature outside my Wife's Polo Drivers Seat Belt Wont come out of the reel, I have done a couple of search's online and it seems to be quite a common problem was just wondering if anyone else has had this issue .I phoned VW UK who were as much use as a chocolate tea pot. The car is on a 14 plate with 25000 miles so out of warranty I think this should not be happening TBH has anyone else come across this problem

My daughter has a 68 plate VW Polo, very low milage. Yesterday she was driving with three friends in the car, when for no reason the driver assist caused the car to do an emergency stop and locked the wheels. They were on a straight road, doing less than 30mph, there was nothing in front of them and luckily, nothing behind. If there had been a car behind it would have undoubtedly caused an accident. VW have said they will do a diagnostic test for £140. I think this is unreasonable as their cars obviously have a dangerous defect, which they should have a recall on. Further reading online shows that there have been many identical incidents. I'm currently talking to som…

I'm fairly sure I've seen this on the Forum previously but can't find it now. We have a 2018 Polo and the washers have stopped working, fluid topped up. The handbook does not show fuse position and I can't see any diagram on the lids. Does anyone know which fuse it is or where I can find a clear diagram ?

It’s my first time posting here and I wanted to ask how do you adjust the rear ride height on JOM coilovers. I bought the car couple days ago and didn’t realise it had coilovers until I got tyres put on this morning. The front ride height is fine I just want to lower the rear by a couple of inches. Is it possible to adjust the rear ride height on the JOM blue line coilovers?

So looking for a first car for my daughter, 1.2 Polo seems like a good option, was thinking 2010 - 2014 tops. So I stumbled across not one but many autotrader listings with "Japanese Imports" and "no service history? Reading a few online articles, they and the dealers all state that in Japan, the standards are a lot higher in terms of how people care for vehicles and mileage is low? Hence why I see 2012s having around 40-55k milage? My concern is that I have no service history? Safety? How do I know if it was actually in an accident? Then other concerns? Or am I over worrying? Anyone have any advice?

I own a VW Gol, assembled in Brazil. I get a hyperflasher on the dash because my back left LED Turn light has gone off. Twice I have checked in at the dealer but when the back-light unit is taken out and refitted, the problem seem to go away for a while and the resurfaces.

Hello, I’m after a genuine VW oil filter air filter and petrol pump from Mark 2F 1992 polo. Thanks
