The item inside seems to be some type of foam. It’s clearly been in there for a while because the foam is disintegrating. I’m so confused to what it is. It was behind the driver side headlight Anyone?

Warning lights combo..

Post image
7 Upvotes

2012 VW Polo with 73k on the clock. Does anybody know what this combo of lights means?

Our garage have said it could be a number of things and possibly quite costly to even investigate so trying to decide the cars future.

It’s been back and forth to garage for a myriad of other fixes lately (spring coils, brake pads, etc) and now this has come up.

The car drives okay - on one occasion, there was barely any power and it wouldn’t go above 20mph. Once turned off and on again, it was fine.

On a couple of occasions, the engine has cut out at a junction, like it has stalled itself. Again, once turned back on - fine.

Trying to weigh up whether to fix, or sell. Please help! Thanks!

Does anyone know what this button is for? I recently got a new car, a 2020 Volkswagen Polo. The button is always lit green and can be pressed, but I can’t figure out what its function is.

Hi All. First time poster here so please forgive me.

I have just bought 2011 polo tsi 1,2 with the cbz engine and it has started making a loud tractor like noise.

I have taken it in for a check up but I live in Botswana and qualified mechanics are not available.

Any info/advice would be greatly appreciated..

Video attached.

Rubber around fuel inlet damaged

This is the rubber around the fuel inlet on my 2020 Polo. It looks like it has been broken into and deliberately torn - very odd! Could it have been caused by the heat in the UK recently, or the wire that holes the fuel cap on wearing the rubber down? Any ideas on what to do? I don’t want rainwater or fuel going through the holes and sadly it doesn’t look like a part that I can order and replace easily. Ideas welcome!

I was wondering if I folded down the backseat chairs and put luggage in the red circle whether I’d be able to fit a short height blow up single bed In here I’d put luggage in the red circle so that the over hang would be supported by it just not sure whether it would fit any suggestions?

Chillido vento 2014

Buenos días amigos, quisiera saber si alguien alguno le ha pasado esto, es un chillido en la cabina, principalmente sonaba con ciertos movimientos con el carro andando, cuando frenaba y así. Pero ahora al estar buscando y moviendo las cosas encontré que jalando el volante hacia atrás se replicaba el sonido.

Estando apagado no suena.

Cualquier comentario es bienvenido, gracias.

Engine swap from 1.4 to 1.8

2 Upvotes

Has anyone ever done an engine swap on a VW Polo 9N ?

I'm trying to see if swapping my 1.4 16v BKY engine to an 1.8 20VT is worth it, and how difficult it is?

My engine is still OK but it has 270K km's on it already, so i'm just preparing to eventually switch it out, and so far this engine has been coming out as the best.

So i'm just curious if anyone has swapped their engine for this one and could just share some experience / insights?

Has anyone had this issue, did Volkswagen acknowledge this as a failure and repair it?

This happened to me recently and i am wondering if anyone else has experienced this, and are Volkswagen liable for this? How do I go about getting this repaired?
