  1. Hi - really appreciate any help please. A few weeks ago, after the first night in a while temperature had gone down to -6c, our Polo electrics started playing up - main headlights going off, indicators not working, wipers moving but not returning to neutral and warnings coming up such as water coolant low, bonnet open when the bonnet wasn't open and the coolant wasn't low! Been to garage - computer lists a whole range of faults mainly all to do with communication to control unit - has been reset twice but still doing it intermittently. Cannot go through more than one day without it being a problem - very dangerous when the indicators stop working! Garage suggest replacing the control unit - does anyone have any experience of this? I don't want to spend £600 plus and still not sort the problem Many thanks, Jon
  2. Volkswagen (VW) is at a crossroads as it contemplates the future of the beloved VW Polo in Europe, faced with the escalating costs of producing petrol-engine cars due to stringent emissions regulations. The decision to either replace, extend, or retire the Polo is currently a subject of "open discussion" within the company, according to sources familiar with the company's strategy. With the Polo's production lineage dating back to 1975, the current model is slated to run until 2026. However, emissions regulations and the rising costs associated with compliance are prompting VW to reevaluate the Polo's fate. The Polo, priced from approximately €20,000, stands as the second best-selling Volkswagen model globally and is manufactured in plants across Brazil, China, Spain, and South Africa. The potential discontinuation of the Polo would mark another affordable model disappearing from the European market, following Ford's cessation of the Fiesta earlier this year. The automobile industry is grappling with the profitability of manufacturing smaller cars, largely due to the increased costs associated with meeting emissions regulations. As the shift towards electric vehicles (EVs) gains momentum, European automakers are planning to phase out petrol models by 2035, aligning with the European Union's target to ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars. VW is already gearing up for the electric future, with plans for a €25,000 electric model, the ID2, set to debut in 2026. Additionally, an even more affordable €20,000 battery car, tentatively named ID1, is in the pipeline for the end of the decade, potentially serving as a replacement for the Polo. The discussions around the Polo's future are primarily centered on its European market presence, where the impending Euro 7 engine regulations, expected later this decade, pose additional challenges. The industry anticipates that these new rules will disproportionately impact the prices of small petrol cars, necessitating costly emissions reduction systems. VW is carefully weighing the Euro 7 costs in determining the Polo's future, with hopes that certain leeways in the regulations might allow the model to stay in the market a bit longer. Sales performance in South America and other markets could also influence the ultimate decision on the Polo's continuation. As the automotive industry grapples with the evolving landscape of emissions regulations and the transition to electric mobility, the fate of the VW Polo remains uncertain, with VW navigating a delicate balance between tradition and the demands of an environmentally conscious future.
  3. In the realm of endurance testing, few cars can boast the rigorous challenges the Volkswagen Vivo endured to meet the demanding conditions of South Africa. From extreme temperatures to diverse road conditions, the Vivo, now in its second generation, has not only survived but excelled, proving its mettle in the hands of local motorists. A recent exploration of the Kariega region provided an opportunity to reconnect with the Vivo, a best-selling passenger car in South Africa. The spotlight fell on a 1.6 manual derivative, adorned with the optional Black Style package, offering glossy black enhancements for a distinguished appearance. Sporting 16-inch Portago alloys and a lowered suspension by 15mm, this Vivo aimed to blend style with substance. While visual appeal holds importance for Mzansi buyers, it's the core substance of the Vivo that continues to win hearts. The tactile quality is evident from the moment you interact with the car, thanks to its architecture rooted in the fifth-generation Polo. The Vivo's interior, marked by a soft-touch dashboard, outshines even some newer Volkswagen models, leaving a lasting impression of elegance and simplicity. The Vivo's handling prowess sets it apart, providing stability that surpasses certain rivals. The cabin's tactile delights, with rotary dials, buttons, and levers, offer a refreshing departure from the trend of touchscreens and haptic surfaces. Under the hood, the Vivo doesn't boast complicated machinery. Except for the turbocharged GT 1.0 TSI, the other engine options (1.4 and 1.6) remain normally-aspirated. The 1.6 variant, delivering 77kW and 153Nm, may not win awards for acoustics or sheer power, but it impresses with tractability. With fuel consumption ranging from 7.9l/100km to 9.2l/100km, the engine's uncomplicated nature promises longevity. The Vivo lineup starts at R259,400 for the 1.4 Trendline, followed by the R280,600 1.4 Comfortline and the R309,300 1.6 Highline. Opting for an automatic transmission adds R2,000 (R311,300), while the sporty GT variant comes in at R346,900. While acknowledging the presence of other competitive imports offering more standard features and alternative body styles, the Vivo holds its ground with proven local manufacturing and testing. Its seven-decade-old Volkswagen cachet contributes to its enduring appeal, even as concerns about theft risk linger in the minds of potential buyers. As the Polo's consistent ranking in the top five of monthly sales charts suggests, the Vivo remains a stalwart choice, combining resilience, local identity, and the reputable Volkswagen legacy.
  4. i have a 2004 polo 9N engine code AWY and i just noticed that the check engine light not showing on ignition and the fuel economy is getting worst. I know that the engine was replaced before i bought it and by the looks of it could be a BBM, so could it be something to do with the ecu and how could i test it ?
  5. 7zap have begun to charge £50 a year to view part numbers, you can see the exploded diagrams, but not the part numbers. Does anyone know an alternative for Mk2F Coupe GT?
  6. What is the difference between the audi / polo 1.4 tdi AMF engine? Are parts interchangable like turbo egr etc.
  7. Hi there I have a 13 year old 2005 VW Polo MK4 1.4 diesel 3 door. Just recently both front electric windows have stopped working intermittently. There is no clicking sound from either of the motors so that means there is no power being supplied to them and the windows are definitely not stuck because when they work they move with ease. There are no other electrical issues with the car, both electric mirrors work ant the central locking buttons on the driver door work with no problem and there are no issues with the wipers, dash lights, indicators, screen-wash pump. At first I thought it might be the 25 amp fuse but there is nothing wrong with it and just to prove it wasn't the fuse I replaced it and still nothing. One thing I can't wrap my head around is that both the window switches on the drivers door or the passenger door don't work yet the switches still light up when you turn the lights on which means the switches do have power to them. After seeing that the lights on the switches were working I tried the windows and still nothing. Would really appreciate it if someone knew more about this than I. Thanks for the help -Tom

    Wanted - SM66YZC

    Looking for my old Polo R line - SM66YZC - had to sell it in a rush to we buy any car when I left the country and trying to see if I can find it. Long shot but it was pretty high spec!
  9. Hi, my seat latches dont work so i took the seats out to find out whats wrong and both the springs arent good for the latch (drivers seat spring has snapped, passengers seat spring appears to be too long) does anybody know where i could find good springs to replace them/oem springs for the seats? Its a polo 6n2 if that helps. Photo is showing the springs that need to be replaced. Cheers
  10. Photo 1&2 is the stock cables with my infotainment, want to upgrade to Apple CarPlay screens, however 3&4 are the only sort of connections I can get, any help?
  11. So I'm looking to get an induction kit most likely the K&N one for my car but haven't got a clue how to fit it, due to my engine having a pipe going from the manifold to the air filter which is also linked to something else, here is a picture of what it looks like but its not my car. Please can anyone help or direct me in the right direction Much Appreciated
  12. VW Polo 2007 1.4cc Auto 9N Engine Code BKY Car wouldn't start one day so I did basic checks, removing fuel pipe to injectors and throttle body. Petrol to injectors but not throttle body (not sure if this is correct on ignition only). Then disconnected battery and left for a week (other issues arose) and then reconnecting battery it would start but only tick over. If trying to increase revs, it would just refuse and seem like it was going to die, throttle off back to tick. About 6 months ago it was running poorly but I did a thorough throttle body clean (removed and cleaned) and it had been running fine so I don't think it's that. I did check the FAQ and searched but nothing quiet similar. Appreciate any thoughts. Thanks
  13. Hello i have polo 6N2 and the central locking pump 1H0962257F and i want to install central locking alarm with remote control .Can anyone help how to connect it ?
  14. Hello everyone, this might seem a weird question but I have a 96" polo 6n (aee) and the shifter is in a bad state its lose the sometimes I cant shift into gears, it has the old style shifter mechanism 94-96 (6n0711023-f - part number), was wondering if i could retrofit the newer style shifter from 97-99 (6n0711265 - part number) found one in a junkyard it fits in the frame but I don't know if it wont work with the current transmission, if the cables would fit without issues or if I could use the current cables on the new shifter. I attached some pictures of the two shifters (the one without the knob is the newer one).
  15. HI guys I was wondering if anyone can help me... I got my 2001 polo 6n2 around a month ago and I've noticed that both driver and passenger window switches on the drivers side don't work. The driver side window doesn't go down at all, and the passenger side window only works from the window switch on the passenger side. One issue with the passenger side window as well is that is can roll down when ignition is off and key is out, and also can sometimes roll back up by itself if you take the key out of the ignition. I just want to know if it might be the switches, or if motor or regulator or anything else needs replacing. I mainly just need advice with the window switches and the window on the drivers side as I cannot roll it down and summer is approaching Thankyou!!
  16. Good afternoon all, Hope you are all well. I'm looking for a bit of advice on swapping the BCM in my 2002 9n polo. It has been sitting on my drive for the past 2 years, but my dad has purchased it from me and trying to be helpful I said I would put it through an MOT before I got it to him. Going back 2 years when I was still using it, I used to have a random issue where my wipers wouldn't work on intermittent, but would work on the faster speeds. I didn't bother looking into it too much at the time as I could work around it. Eventually the wipers wouldn't work on any setting on rare occasions, and when this happened I replaced the motor and the stalk, thinking these may be the issue. They weren't and the problem didn't go away. I soon after got myself a new motor and forgot about it. Well anyway, it failed it's MOT because the wipers wouldn't work. I used them on the way to the MOT centre and they worked fine. Lo and behold, when they got in for the test they packed up. I did a bit of research and assumed that the issue may lie with the micro switch on the bonnet release catch. After some digging about there, use of a micrometer and a bit of work with a paperclip I tried to bypass this switch even though the micrometer was pointing at it working just fine. None of this solved my issue with the wipers. I know from before that on these there's no separate relay for the wipers, it is all controlled by the BCM. I managed to source a like for like BCM from a great breakers on eBay. As the code is exactly the same code (6Q1 937 049 C), I am hoping that it will simply be a case of plug and play with the SH one. Can anyone confirm? I found a thread on a forum somewhere where someone did the same, like for like, and it didn't need recoding and all of that palaver, but I can't find a lot on it as most posts people are generally only swapping the BCM to upgrade something, which does require coding. I'm going to try to fit tonight, I don't have any of the VW software or anything so am just going to try and hope for the best. If in the worst case scenario it does need recoding, could someone put the original back on and retrieve the codes from that? My dad who is having it has a mate who is apparently a VW man who should be able to do this, but I'm hoping I can get it through the MOT first. Any advice or words of wisdom will be much appreciated. Cheers! Alex

    Polo 1L wanted for first car

    If anyone near Cobham, Surrey has a well maintained Polo for a new driver for sale I would be interested to hear. Probably 2014-16, up to 60K miles, manual, 1L, 3 or 5 door.
  18. Hello guys! I've a beautiful Polo 6N 1.4 petrol (44kw)(200.000KM) year 1998 that will refuse to start and my partner will send it to the scrapyard if I don't fix it! It's a long story but I'll try to make a summary. First of all, it all starts this fall, the car suddenly stops and impossible to start. The car cranked up but no starts happens! After resting it for two days it decided to work again, for about 1 whole month, and then again the same problem! Problem solved in the same way. BUT, 3 weeks ago, it decides to stop definitely. Now, I've literally crawled any kind of forum 3d but can't really found what the problem is! There's no SPARK, no FUEL (when cranking up). After cranking for some time, an oil red light came up and it also beep loudly. Here's what I've done to this point: 1. Checked if sparks happens -> NO SPARK! Changed the ignition coil with a new one, NOT SOLVED 2. Changed the entire distributor (dizzy) for a new one, NOT SOLVED 3. Checked and tested the FUEL PUMP and the RELAY: they're good but the relay works only when I turn on the dashboard, but it's not working when I try to crank the motor 4. Checked and tested each and every fuse: all fuse where good! At this point I really don't know what to do next, I'm going crazy! Ah, I've checked also if some DTC where stored in the ecu by using an ELM327 and the CarScanner APP, but no error where found. If you can help me resolve this issue I'll be very happy to save this beautiful car!! Thanks in advanced!
