The updated VW Polo range was introduced in November of A wide range of standard and optional equipment is available within

1990, with a choice of 1.05 litre (1043 cc) or 1.3 litre (1272 cc) petrol the Polo range to suit most tastes, including a sliding sunroof, tinted

engines, with either single-point or multi-point fuel injection. During glass, alloy wheels and remote adjustable door mirrors.

Spring 1991, the G40 model was launched, equipped with a Provided that regular servicing is carried out in accordance with the

supercharged version of the 1.3 litre engine. Three body shells are manufacturer’s recommendations, the VW Polo should prove reliable

available - a three-door hatchback, a two-door saloon and a three- and very economical. The engine compartment is well-designed, and

door Coupe.

most of the items requiring frequent attention are easily accessible.

All engines are derived from the well-proven units which have

appeared in previous versions of the VW Polo. The engine is of four-

cylinder overhead camshaft design, mounted transversely, with the

transmission mounted on the left-hand side. All models have a four or

five-speed manual transmission.

Your Polo manual

The aim of this manual is to help you get the best value from your

vehicle. It can do so in several ways. It can help you decide what work

must be done (even if you choose to get it done by a garage). It will

also provide information on routine maintenance and servicing, and

give a logical course of action and diagnosis when random faults

occur. However, it is hoped that you will use the manual by tackling the

work yourself. On simpler jobs it may even be quicker than booking the

car into a garage and going there twice, to leave and collect it. Perhaps

most important, a lot of money can be saved by avoiding the costs a

garage must charge to cover its labour and overheads.

All models have fully-independent front suspension and employ coil-

over-damper struts, transverse lower arms and an anti-roll bar. The

rear suspension is semi-independent, utilising coil-over-damper struts

and incorporating trailing arms located by a torsion beam axle. A rear

anti-roll bar is fitted to certain models.

The WV Polo Team

Haynes manuals are produced by dedicated and

enthusiastic people working in close co-operation. The

team responsible for the creation of this book included:

The manual has drawings and descriptions to show the function of

the various components so that their layout can be understood. Tasks

are described and photographed in a clear step-by-step sequence.

This manual is not a direct reproduction of the vehicle

manufacturer’s data, and its publication should not be taken as

implying any technical approval by the vehicle manufacturers or

importers.

Safety first! 0.5

Working on your car can be dangerous.

This page shows just some of the potential

risks and hazards, with the aim of creating a

safety-conscious attitude.

General hazards

Mains voltage is also dangerous. Make

sure that any mains-operated equipment is

correctly earthed. Mains power points should

be protected by a residual current device

(RCD) circuit breaker.

Special hazards

Hydrofluoric acid

This extremely corrosive acid is formed

when certain types of synthetic rubber, found

in some O-rings, oil seals, fuel hoses etc, are

exposed to temperatures above 400°C. The

rubber changes into a charred or sticky

substance containing the acid. Once formed,

the acid remains dangerous for years. If it

gets onto the skin, it may be necessary to

amputate the limb concerned.

When dealing with a vehicle which has

suffered a fire, or with components salvaged

from such a vehicle, wear protective gloves

and discard them after use.

The battery

Batteries contain sulphuric acid, which

attacks clothing, eyes and skin. Take care

when topping-up or carrying the battery.

The hydrogen gas given off by the battery

is highly explosive. Never cause a spark or

allow a naked light nearby. Be careful when

connecting and disconnecting battery

chargers or jump leads.

Air bags

Air bags can cause injury if they go off

accidentally. Take care when removing the

steering wheel and/or facia. Special storage

instructions may apply.

Diesel injection equipment

Diesel injection pumps supply fuel at very

high pressure. Take care when working on

the fuel injectors and fuel pipes.

Fume or gas intoxication

Exhaust fumes are

poisonous; they often

contain carbon

monoxide, which is

Scalding

Don’t remove the radiator or expansion

tank cap while the engine is hot.

. Engine oil, automatic transmission fluid or

power steering fluid may also be dangerously

hot if the engine has recently been running.

rapidly fatal if inhaled.

Never run the

engine in a

confined space

such as a garage

with the doors shut.

Fuel vapour is also

Burning

Beware of burns from the exhaust system

and from any part of the engine. Brake discs

and drums can also be extremely hot

immediately after use.

poisonous, as are the vapours from some

cleaning solvents and paint thinners.

Crushing

Poisonous or irritant substances

Avoid skin contact with battery acid and

with any fuel, fluid or lubricant, especially

antifreeze, brake hydraulic fluid and Diesel

fuel. Don’t syphon them by mouth. If such a

substance is swallowed or gets into the eyes,

seek medical advice.

When working under or near

a raised vehicle,

Prolonged contact with used engine oil can

cause skin cancer. Wear gloves or use a

barrier cream if necessary. Change out of oil-

soaked clothes and do not keep oily rags in

your pocket.

Air conditioning refrigerant forms a

poisonous gas if exposed to a naked flame

(including a cigarette). It can also cause skin

burns on contact.

venture

under a car which

is only supported by a jack.

Take care if loosening or tightening high-

torque nuts when the vehicle is on stands.

Initial loosening and final tightening should

be done with the wheels on the ground.

Fire

Asbestos

A ! Warning: Never expose the hands,

Fuel is highly flammable; fuel vapour is

explosive.

Don’t let fuel spill onto a hot engine.

Do not smoke or allow naked lights

(including pilot lights) anywhere near a

vehicle being worked on. Also beware of

creating sparks

(electrically or by use of tools).

. Fuel vapour is heavier than air, so don’t

work on the fuel system with the vehicle over

an inspection pit.

Another cause of fire is an electrical

overload or short-circuit. Take care when

repairing or modifying the vehicle wiring.

Keep a fire extinguisher handy, of a type

suitable for use on fuel and electrical fires.

Asbestos dust can cause cancer if inhaled

or swallowed. Asbestos may be found in

gaskets and in brake and clutch linings.

When dealing with such components it is

safest to assume that they contain asbestos.

face or any other part of the body

to injector spray; the fuel can

penetrate the skin with potential/y fatal

results.

Electric shock

voltage can be

dangerous,

especially to

people with heart

problems or a

pacemaker. Don’t

work on or near the

ignition system with

the engine running or

the ignition switched on.
