Obviously yes, but that small belt is only turning a small load and so is not subject to the issues that can influence the cambelt's reliable service life period.
There are no "metal on metal" collisions that will wreck things, only a rise in engine temperature which the driver should be able spot ...

Maybe a bit late in noticing this, but, VW Group do provide a repair kit for these connections at the fuel filter, I bought a couple for a 2002 VW Polo 1.4 16V - but in the end never got round to replacing the fuel filter.

I think that there are/were 2 pipe diameter size kit options.

The kits also ...

Your 2017 VW Polo 1.0TSI will be an EA211 engine, this car you are talking about will also be an EA211 engine, obviously designs and production standard builds evolve continuously, but they are basically the same engine.

Seeing as you have mentioned the water pump, on all these engines from this ...

Another way of looking at this is, if that used car is going to be owned and used by her for maybe the next 4 years, why not just get this work done now and so that should stop any of you worrying about exactly when to get this work done going forward.

These new cambelts are manufactured to be a ...

Hello and welcome to the 6C Polo 1.2TSI!

First auto Stop/Start - there is a dedicated button that you can press every time you restart the engine, doing that might seem like being a pain in the bottom, but it will help you avoid getting unease until you are happy to do this itself - also it will ...

Just a complete guess here, maybe the car does not have a steering position sensor under the steering wheel and the replacement pump came from a car that did have have and use that sensor - instead of the sensor on the steering rack.

I'm lucky, while running and looking after a 2002 VW Polo 1.4 and ...

I hope that you "wetted" the new O-rings with a PAG oil or some other suitable lubricant before fitting them, if you didn't, there is a good possibility that one or both have gone damaged with re-assembling things.

I always like to get a print out of the complete factory PR codes for any cars I cold end up working on, it is extensive and having that makes buying spares from aftermarket "a way down the line", so much easier. The complete list of PR codes is HUGE when compared with the build sheet stuck to the ...

Have you ever thought or tried, to get a copy of "CAR DATA" for this car, if you get/got that, you would end up with the exact option ie PR: codes for everything and that will include rear damping - and that would let you match that info with what is on the VW parts listings.

I've had a quick look ...

Now there is an idea!

It could be that your car's battery is very weak and some of the yellow lights that you are seeing are related to the power steering as that is the biggest electrical load in the car, and it is being asked to work hard while the engine is operating at low revs and so the alternator's output will be ...

If it was the coding thing, surely "2 presses" of the key fob would unlock all doors, ie the "anti car jacking feature" where the first press only unlocks the driver's side front door.

Another way to check this could be to use the internal lock/unlock switch - pressing lock should lock all doors ...

I'd think that 10 years and/or 120K miles is a fair enough point to get another car.

I've kept a 2002 VW Polo 1.4 for 13 years and 105K miles - the body ended up showing signs of proper rusting and so many other brake etc areas were asking for me to replace lots of parts - all possible but ...

Variable displacement compressor so it is run at all times - unless the shear coupling on the drive pulley has failed due to maybe the compressor seizing.

Try to see if the compressor shaft is turning when the pulley is turning.

Also, try to check is the fan can run slowly and fast by applying a ...

Maybe even try a local ATS if you have them nearby - and check online for any discount codes.
