Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my 2014 VW Polo TSI BlueMotion.

The engine warning light flashes only during a cold start. The engine vibrates/shakes, and the RPM is slightly higher than normal. After around 20 seconds, the RPM drops back to normal, the warning light goes off, and the engine runs smoothly. It only happens on cold starts; once the car is warm, it drives perfectly.

I’ve already replaced the fan belt, ignition coil, and spark plugs, but the problem is still there.

Has anyone experienced this issue or knows what could be causing it? Any advice would be really appreciated. 😭

Hello, I am dealing with an intermittent issue on my Polo's front wipers. Randomly (a few times a month), they completely refuse to work. Then, without any specific action, the issue disappears and everything works properly again for days.

Symptoms when the issue occurs:

• Front wipers: No movement at all, regardless of the setting (single wipe/mist, intermittent, speed 1, or speed 2).
• Audible click: I can clearly hear a relay clicking under the dashboard every time I activate the front wiper stalk.
• Front washer: The washer pump sprays fluid onto the windscreen as expected, but the front wiper blades do not move to wipe it away.
• Rear wiper: Works perfectly fine (both wiping and washer fluid) even if the front windshield wipers do not work.

Checks already done:

• Fuses: Checked by myself and double-checked by a mechanic — all relevant fuses are intact.
• Since the issue is intermittent and was not acting up while at the garage, no active electrical fault could be diagnosed on the spot.

Thank you in advance for your help. I hope I can find the problem, I can't seem to find anyone who has experienced the same situation as me.

Just bought a manual 2015 VW Polo 1.2 TSI with 72k miles. I have no record of the gearbox oil ever being changed.
I’ve seen people say on this sub say to leave it alone,some say change it at 50–60k, and some change it at 100k, so I’m a bit confused.
Should I change it now at 72k, or leave it? What mileage would you recommend and what oil. I want this car to last me as much as possible.

Ciao a tutti,

sono possessore di una Polo AW1 1.0 TSI 95 CV.

Qualcuno di voi sa come è possibile regolare l'altezza dei fari LED? All'interno dell'abitacolo non è presente alcun selettore o pomello per fare questo. C'è forse qualcosa nel vano motore oppure non èpossibi? Davvero non riesco a capire come fare.

Grazie!

Hello everyone,

I’m facing a jerking/hesitation issue on my Polo 1.2 TDI, mainly between 1500–2000 RPM.

I got all 3 injectors bench tested and found that one injector had 3 faults. That injector was serviced, retested, and passed without errors.

After reinstalling everything, the car feels slightly better, but the jerking is still there.

A few more details:

• The issue is worse when the engine is cold
• It usually reduces a lot or disappears after around 30–45 minutes of driving
• If I accelerate hard in 2nd or 3rd gear, I can still see some black smoke
• The car has done around 95,000 km
• No check engine light or fault codes

My question is: after injector servicing, should I get injector adaptation/coding done, or will the ECU automatically micro-adjust over time?

Would really appreciate input from anyone who has dealt with this on the 1.2 TDI 3-cylinder.

I’ve just bought a 2015 VW Polo 1.2 TSI with 72k miles. It’s had consistent oil changes and the spark plugs were replaced at 60k, but that’s all the history I have.
Is there anything I should know about this model, particularly common issues or important maintenance? I’ve heard about timing-chain problems on older 1.2 TSI Polos (especially around 2013), but I’m not sure if this applies to my 2015.
This is my first car and I don’t know much about cars, so any advice on things I should check or maintain would be really appreciated. I’d ideally like to get it to around 150k miles.

Hi guys THIS ISNT AN AD, im just stuck at the moment. Im trying to sell my polo gti 6c with 82k miles for around 8000£ and it wont sell, its modified but with all paperwork and all the modifications are under 2 years old. Full service, lost the second key annoyingly but I think the price is adequate for that situation.

Is this a decent price? I've looked online and it seems so however out of the 3months its been up ive only had 2 enquiries and neither person has showed up. I need the cash and am really debating webuyanycar as no one seems to want it. Is there anything I can do? Anyone know of specialist sights or anything like that?

Cheers

TÜV mit meinem 2007er 9N3 1.4 bestanden, aber es wurde ein ölschwitziger Motor beanstandet. Wo könnte es herkommen? Ölwannendichtung? Habt Ihr andere Ideen?
