Hello Polo People, I would like to offer a repair service for some types of electric window motor module as fitted to 9N3 Polo, a few Transporters and some mk1/2 Skoda Fabia. At this stage it applies only to two specific, exact part numbers fitted to the driver's side front door, as follows: 6Y1959801 Fitted to RHD 9N3 Polo, a few Transporters, and very early mk2 Skoda Fabias. Edit: and as recently pointed out to me by a kind customer, also fitted to some later 9N Polos. Please Private Message me your VIN number if you'd like me to check if your car has this type. 6Y2959802 Fitted to later RHD Mk1 Fabia, from around October 2004. Left Hand Drive cars will use the other part number in each case. Part numbers as above but with an A at the end are also included now, such as found in cars with rear electric windows too. Note that both of these are driver's side units, the difference in part numbering is due to the orientation/positioning of the motor module on the panels they mount to in each model. These parts suffer a type of intermittent, progressive failure where they 'sometimes work fine, sometimes don't work at all'. This is what I can fix for you. I will test your faulty unit, confirm the problem, repair it to full working order and post it back to you for £59, total (UK addresses only). You'd post it to me (tracked24 service recommended, purchase online at royalmail.com) I would aim to turn it round within 2 days of receipt, and send it back tracked24. This is the what the part looks like (mirror image of this and PN 6Y1959801 on RHD Polo): Central locking via remote will still work in the absence of the window module, so you will be able to secure the car as normal while it is away. Obviously you'll want to ensure that both front windows are fully shut, as in the absence of the driver's side module the passenger side one will not operate. New units are nearly £200 from VW, and ebay 2nd hand ones with these part numbers tend to go for nearly £100. I will charge you just £59 including return postage. Cheers, Pete With yesterday's sad news that this forum may not be continuing in an active way soon, I'll put a contact email address here: movingglass@outlook.com.

Anyone else think this reads very spammy as a first post? Just lacks a link to the wonder product to be completely obvious.

Start of another car. Picked up this car recently which is in need of a bit of work to put it mildly plus in need of a lot of new parts. 1977 Polo L in Manilla Green with Tobacco interior. Here's what I'm starting with, and the start of my parts hunt... Some panels first; a sill, the floors both sides, tunnel patch, rear valance, patch in the spare wheel well and back end of the rear wheel arches... Picked up something to help when I get round to the mechanics, an August 1977 dealer workshop manual in English, lovely thing especially as the car is April 1977. Managed to find a NOS chrome rear bumper from an estate agent in northern Sweden and a NOS front bumper from an Alfa garage on the southern tip of Sardinia so that turned out well - both wrapped in brown paper with the part number on, one with the sticker from the chromer back in the 70's! Picked up some new bumper caps from Heritage and stainless brackets/bolts from Polowerks. Also got some Hella clear indicator lenses for them, the type with the amber insert. According to the very comprehensive model changes pages on www.polo86c.nl (read using Chrome browser which translates the page) the rear bumper must be an August '74 to March '75 Audi 50 one as after that they changed to only one rear number plate light. That said finding two rear number plate lights has been a challenge (without wanting to pay 60-100 euros each on eBay). The existing single number plate light had melted on the inside but I managed to find a pair for sale on a German classifieds site for 10 euros. Also picked up a set of NOS chrome wing mirrors, currently only has one black plastic drivers mirror but i'd prefer two. Sourced replacement parts for the front end, Audi 50 grill, NOS type 86 chrome VW grill badge and two boxed NOS RHD headlights even tho my OCD isn't happy that one is Bosch and the other Hella... Took a bit of searching but managed to find a sales brochure with my model/colours in it and now have a collection of them for pre-facelift Mk1 Polo's. Surprised how many versions they put out, don't know if this was common with earlier/other vehicles? I doubt I have all the versions but the ones I've picked up are: - April '76 for '76 model year - 2 models, 4 interior & 5 exterior colours - August '76 but no model year specified - 3 models, both 14 interior & exterior colours! - October '76 for '77 model year - 3 models, 4 interior & 6 exterior colours - August '77 for '78 model year - 3 models, 4 interior & 6 exterior - January '78 for '78 model year - 3 models, 4 interior & 6 exterior Needless to say it was the multi-combination Aug '76 version which had the combo on my April '77 car but perhaps the brochures were always just a sample and in reality combinations could have been more flexible? Photo below shows them and the second photo has the combination tables for the Apr '76, Oct '76, Aug '77 (same as Jan '78) then the Aug '76 larger underneath. Got some rear end parts; NOS alloy Polo badge, pair of Hella postie lights & a the pair of number plate lights plus a new bootlock seal which is camera shy..

Hi there, new owner from the North of France, just purchased a 1992 Polo Fox Coupe which has been off the road for a couple of years. Usual story, bought from an old lady by a young enthusiast who lowered it with coil-overs, replaced the 1.0 injection block with a 1.3, fitted some BMW (I think) wheels then ran out of time, parking space, money. Fast-forward three years, car passed on to seller to pay off debt, no CT (French MOT) etc, so hasn't been on the road since and was sitting unloved when we found it with the original engine, box, suspension, etc. in the boot, and the rear tyres rubbing the arches. A quick check for body rust and a longer look at the paperwork and I negociated the price down to €1000, and put it on the trailer. Here it is after a quick clean (and emptying the leftover parts into the garage) The first job will be to get it through an MOT - obvious jobs are a rusty silencer, a steering knuckle and a good service and check of brakes, etc. After that it'll need a longer gearbox, but there was one on the front passenger seat, there's a crack in the top corner of the windscreen, the rear tyres are going to rub if it's heavily-loaded, etc. I've always run older cars - my dailys are a an '81 Golf 1800 Cabriolet in summer and a W124 Coupé in Winter, and I've got a number of other VWs, BMWs and Mercs lying around the place, so I'm not scared
