Re: Engine oil 504/507 instead of 508/509💲💲
Remember also that there are or were some EA888 engines that have particulate filters fitted during initial build, that "can't" use 508/509 oils, so certain 504/507 oils seem to okay to use on these EA888 engines with particulate filters. Also some 504/507 oils are available as low viscosi...

Re: 1.2TSI CJZD Intake Gaskets
I am not too sure if you can get enough access to view the inlet ports on the cylinder head without dumping the coolant, I've even bought new bolts only because someone on one of these VW Group forums had these manifold screws included in the parts used to get in there and replace a broken injector ...

Re: Slight Shiver on Tickover
My wife has an August 2015 1.2TSI 110PS Polo 6MT, the VW advice was always to replace the spark plugs at 4 years or maybe 60,000 miles, my wife's Polo is now at almost 47,000 miles, and I've replaced the spark plugs twice, ie at the "year 4" service and then again at the "year 8"...

Re: Thoughts on the usefulness of fuel additive G001770A2
Fuel additive are useless, except to burn you money. Due to DI (direct injection) carbon build up can't be removed with this kind of additive. To remove carbon build up, you have to remove air intake and manually clean the valves. For cleaning injector, why not but, with no visual inspection it's h...

Re: POLO 6C PDC PARKING SENSOR RETROFIT
Keeping with "keeping it cheap", back in 2015 or 2016, I used up over £400 to add front PDC to my 2011 Audi S4, and the cost difference between doing it to that car and your Polo will be nominal/minimal, so if you get all this completed and use up less than £650, then I think, that you wil...

Re: POLO 6C PDC PARKING SENSOR RETROFIT
Have you checked to see what companies like Kufatec offer - maybe you can glean info from how they are describing their offerings, I'm suggesting that as I added front PDC to my 2011 Audi S4 and bought the relevant cables from Kufatec, then all the other genuine parts via ebay, some used, the sensor...

Re: Gearboxes, gear oil, and levels
You may have been lucky. Official VW Oil's price on eBay are just crazy. Equivalent or, more expensive than the dealer it self. Yes I agree, it is always better to start off by finding out the VW Group dealership prices before looking for "bargains" on ebay. When I bought both the trans f...

Re: Gearboxes, gear oil, and levels
I've not needed to buy any gearbox etc fluids for my wife's 2015 Polo 1.2TSI, but I have done for my 2011 Audi S4 gearbox and rear differential - and I used ebay, hopefully buying well below main dealer prices for the genuine VW Group products. I'd doubt if my wife's Polo 6 speed gearbox uses the sa...

Re: Gearboxes, gear oil, and levels
Really, it is down to the additive package in the oil, as @alexperkins said earlier. A long time ago, when I was changing from maybe Quantum branded oil to Fuchs when Quantum had moved away from using Fuchs, I did email Fuch UK sales about "is brand X which is known to be supplied by Fuchs, the...

Re: Refilling coolant system with vacuum kit
I just wonder which families of engines, or even which individual engines in VW Group cars, can successfully use that method of replacing the engine coolant?

Re: 2010 1.4 engine noisy after cam belt change
Round about this production period, there were reported issues with the oil separator O-ring, I never did find out which one, I bought new ones, but never got round to replacing them on my older daughter’s Nov 2009 Ibiza 1.4 16V 85PS.

Re: Refilling coolant system with vacuum kit
On a different engine, a 2011 Audi S4 3.0TFSI, I did buy a Draper Coolant Vacuum Refill Kit, and used it with a very very small compressor, and it worked very well. A couple of maybe smart/cunning things I did when carrying out this task, firstly, connect a coolant leak checking kit to the reservoir...

Re: Radiator + Coolant replacement + bleed procedure?
Why that is missing from workshop manuals confuses and annoys me. I found that my old Audi S4's cooling system capacity, with a manual gearbox, was only 6.8litres, I am guessing - just guessing, that the cooling capacity of my wife's 2015 VW Polo 1.2TSI 110PS with a manual gearbox will be roughly 6l...

Re: Radiator + Coolant replacement + bleed procedure?
Oh yes, I certainly agree with "escaping" from G13 and also get rid of any Silicate pouches in the reservoir, if you have one it should have "Mit Silikat" on the reservoir. I changed my old 2011 Audi S4 to G12evo a few years ago, and bought a DIYer "coolant refill vacuum too...
