Yes I agree, hiding the ESP switch didn't seem a logical thing to do, though I must confess that in winter slippery conditions with winter tyres on, I've never ended up finding the need to "take over" from the car's own stability system - but I'd rather it was always just there for me to use if and ...

Oh well, you've tried the easy way to be able to hopefully discount that it is just internal combustion noises, where are you located roughly, there are quite a lot of VAG Indie workshops around in Scotland?

My local rural workshop seems to be a VAG type of person, well the owner anyway, but maybe ...

Yup, I'd agree that Esso is a "proper" petrol brand, and actually my preferred one - although, my wife having a Costco account, does mean that while filling up locally it will normally be Costco, when away from home, I always aim to use Esso.

Maybe a full tank full of Tesco's finest, as it sounds ...

If it was coming from the engine and only under these operating conditions, then I'd suggest a slight bit of pinking/pinging, you could load up with UL+ to see if that clears it.

The other thing, again if it is engine internal/combustion rattles, is that all these modern engines have extremely low ...

I don't know which turbo is on your car, so I'll leave that side of things to others, but, as you know this car, I'd suggest that getting this turbo repaired must be the way forward.

Try to locate a proper car fixing place that knows about these engines and turbo.

Edit:- maybe chat to a VW Group ...

That is where I bought my workshop manual from for my wife's 2015 VW Polo 1.2TSI, I also bought one for my 2011 Audi S4, both work for me, they are just a copy taken from erwin at a point in time, but so far so good.

You would probably need to take the rear of the centre console apart to see if any of the clips have been broken off - but really, why bother, if they are from that area, the garage would only have taken it apart because they had felt the need to adjust the handbrake cable - possibly because someone ...

Was it the rear brakes that were being worked on, if so, the garage might have needed to remove part of the interior trim to reach the handbrake cable adjuster if someone previously had adjusted the cable to try to resolve a handbrake issue.

Bosh spark plug for this engine ?

According to ETKA, the only part number for the 1.2 TSI 16V EA211 is 04E905601B, and they are NGK.


I agree, the NGK equivalent for this VW Group part number 04E 905 601B, is NGK Stock 93231 = PZKER7B8EGS only difference is that they come in NGK branded boxes ...

I think that the reason why you can't find the exactly correct fully assembled front strut will be down to aftermarket sources who use aftermarket parts will only offer a very small variety of struts, springs, top bearing and top mounts.

For example, possibly something like 15 different front ...

I fitted the VW Golf sun glasses storage unit to my wife's 2002 VW Polo 9N just after buying it new, then did the same to her 2015 VW Polo 6C just after buying it - though using screws to fit the second one to the 2015 6C Polo was a bit challenging!

It is very annoying that the Skoda Fabia "unit ...

Sorry, no good suggestions, it will be a chain driven engine though and the engine code is AXU.

An engine type that deliberately avoided buying when buying a new Polo for my wife back in 2002, I was put off by the fact that the cam shaft lobs are hydraulically locked onto the cam shaft - instead of ...

Maybe what I did when I replaced a non DAB system with a DAB system in my 2011 Audi S4 could help you pin point the root cause of your problem.

Initially after buying a used DAB "radio" to replace the non DAB original factory, to prove that this used system worked before spending money on getting ...

I've repaired these rear hatch cables two times, ie on 2 cars, each time I repaired by adding in an extra length of wire(s) so that the repair area, or areas, are well away from where the cable flexes when opening the rear hatch - never attempt to create a repair exactly at the point where the cable ...

2226, your quote "That day I circled the car for several hours doing other jobs and at the end of the day I just said "oh well" and did it."

I can relate to that!!

Though in my case I'd probably need to change "at the end of the day" to "at the end of the month after doing other jobs"!!
