    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

    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

  3. I have a car as above. In periods of rain, when I open the rear passenger door, water gushes out! There is slight dampness inside on the floor-well in the corner close to door and seat. Any ideas?

    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?

    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 ?

    Does any one know the part number for front and rear mud flaps to fit the new POLO GT BLUE. VW UK confirm that you can get them specifically for this model different because of modified sills and rear end, but will not give them out you have to go through VW agent. I have tried and they cannot identify them. Any help would be so much appreciated.

    I am trying to find a good free VIN Decoder without much success. One of them even told me the car was a Golf. Is there someone out there who knows of a good one and maybe even run my vin number, WVWZZZAWZLU050278, through it. 🙂 Thanks

    My Daughter has a 2018 Polo SE, recently the nav screen has started freezing and image jumping around. Is this a known problem or could it be a software issue ? Thanks

    Hi VW club, I'm currently experiencing a clunking/rattling noise coming from the rear of my VW polo. Below are two images of each rear side. Would this be the reason for the noise? Any help would be appreciated.

    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 all, I am trying to find a radio code for my sons VW Polo. Its a gamma unit with serial number VWZ1Z3Y5006905. If anyone can help i would be much obliged.

  19. Started by count,

    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?

    Hi all after a bit of help. I've just finished rebuilding the top end of my vw polo 1.2 2008 3 cylinder engine. New valves, guide, seal's and Skimmed, new timing kit including hydraulic tensioner. Any way just found this small pin underneath the car. Does anyone recognise it and knows where its from. Not wanting to risk starting the car and wrecking it. Any help would be much appreciated

    Hi guys I have a VW Polo Twist 04 plate hatchback. It has a problem that has now been ongoing for some time and i am yet to discover what it is and was wondering if someone could possibly help me out ! When i am driving sometimes the car will sort of jump and the revs fly down to 0 then fly back up but then they don't exceed 3000 rpm, untill the car then jumps again and then they go back to normal and the car runs fine again.. until it then jumps again and the same thing reoccurs. It cuts out quite often aswell, and it cant be the battery because i recently bought a new one. Anyone got any ideas? I think it could be something to do with the MAF, Would be grateful…
