Volkswagen Polo Sedan

Sales of the Volkswagen Polo Sedan began in September 2010. The design of the model was developed by the famous Walter De Silva and is a continuation of the new style of the brand, born with the Volkswagen Golf VI. Assembly of all without exception Polo Sedan is made in the industrial zone Grabtsevo near Kaluga. In 2015, the sedan experienced facelift, during which the line of power units was revised.

Engines

Initially, the Volkswagen Polo Sedan was equipped with only one engine - a gasoline atmospheric tank with a volume of 1.6 liters and a capacity of 105 hp. Later (since 2014) it was offered a deforested version of the return of 85 hp. A big plus of power units is a chain drive of the gas distribution mechanism. At least 200,000 km of problems with it do not occur. Statistics on higher mileage are still too few. On some instances, during the operation of the engine, a foreign knock is detected. It's all about pistons. They have too short “skirt”, which is why there is a knock during the shift at the extreme points of the turn. Fortunately, there are no cases of engine failure due to this defect. The manufacturer admitted the presence of a design flaw and, if there were complaints, installed upgraded pistons. Later, Volkswagen began to use modified pistons in new engines - starting with the number CFN* 453641. The cost of a set of modified pistons is about 20,000 rubles. The same amount will be paid to the driver for replacement. There are no serious comments on the engine. However, the aggregate part sometimes fails. First of all, we are talking about the pump, which can flow or make noise already at a distance of 50-100 thousand km. The cost of the new original coolant pump is about 7 000 rubles, analogue – 2,500 rubles. Vibrations can also occur at the same time. The reason is the wear of the engine support. For a new original pillow will have to pay in the area of 7 000 rubles, and for an analogue – from 2 000 rubles.

Transmission

In pair with the engine can work five-speed manual transmission or six-speed "automatic" company Aisin. Overall, both boxes are quite reliable, but without comments is not complete.

So, owners of the Volkswagen Polo sedan with manual transmission regularly face difficulties when turning on gears. Source one is the transmission selection mechanism. But there are several reasons: from the banal ingress of moisture under the shirt of cables (corrosion or freezing in winter) to wear of the mechanism itself. A new set of cables is available for 3-4 thousand rubles.

Unfortunately, there are known episodes of repair or replacement of the manual box due to premature wear of bearings.

Owners of machines with a machine do not have to deal with repairs. However, many are unhappy with periodic tremors or even jerks when switching. In most cases, getting rid of unpleasant symptoms helps to update the firmware of the automatic transmission control unit in the dealer service.

Walking

The suspension is not a claim. Worrying is that tapping shock racks in severe frosts, inherent in most cars. However, there are shock absorbers more than 100-150 thousand km. Up to 100,000 km, only the racks and bushings of the transverse stability stabilizer have to be changed. Moreover, the racks serve for 60-100 thousand km. The bushings have twice the resource and often creak in frosts. After 30-60 thousand km can knock the steering rack or calipers of brake mechanisms.

Some of the first owners of the Polo Sedan faced a sudden car snatch. As a rule, after turning off the ignition, the problem disappeared. The manufacturer responded quickly. To correct the ailment, a new version of the firmware of the electric power steering was proposed. The software update has almost eliminated the problem. The steering characteristics have also changed - the steering wheel has become slightly heavier, which made driving more convenient.

After 100,000 km, some had to replace the internal SRUS due to the appearance of vibrations at high speed. The cost of a new node is almost 20,000 rubles, an analogue from 5,000 rubles.

Body and interior

The body of the Volkswagen Polo Sedan, like any other modern car, disappoints with the low durability of the paintwork - chips and scratches appear. Fortunately, galvanized metal in the places of chips does not bloom. Traditionally, poorly resisted aggressive external environment and chrome parts. Another scourge of modern cars is fogging headlights and taillights.

The first owners, after a while, often found under their seat crumbs of foam - the result of friction of the filler on the bare metal parts of the frame of the chair. The design was later refined and the problem disappeared.

Electrical equipment

Electricity is not too annoying to the owners. A common illness is the failure of the trunk lock. At the same time, the trunk lid is closed not the first time, then the light in the trunk does not turn on or off, or the indicator of the open lid burns. The reason is the oxidation of the contact of the terminal. The castle's body is indissoluble. The officials solve the problem by replacing the lock.

The howl of the fan heater, used in the 2006 model year Škoda Fabia, floated out here. 5 long years, this drawback was well known to the VAG concern, but never corrected. The same fan was integrated into the new car. Howling is more often manifested in the cold on an unheated car. Official dealers eliminate the problem by replacing the fan. The reason is the sleeve metallographic slip bearing, which eventually begins to whistle due to the mixing of dust with lubricant.

In addition, when the heater is turned on, vibration may appear. Dust and dirt stick on the impeller, which leads to an imbalance of the fan.

The lack of cold air in the heat after the air conditioner is turned on is most often due to a failed Freon pressure sensor. The cost of the new sensor is about 1-2 thousand rubles.

Polo Sedan owners are often puzzled by the “buzz” that occurs when opening the driver’s door. The sound source is the gas pump, which at this moment performs a preliminary pumping of fuel. That's the algorithm of his work. It works provided that more than 30 minutes have passed after the stop. If the driver’s door is open, the pumping will be done every 30 minutes.

Polo Sedan was created specifically for the Russian market. According to the designers, the design took into account the climatic and road conditions of our country. Galvanized body, reinforced suspension and reliable engine - these are the main trump cards of this "semi-sedan" (as its owners jokingly call it). Against the background of the problems of many modern cars, and even more so the premium models of the German brand, Polo Sedan can be considered reliable. But Volkswagen has a lot to work on.

Shows, bargaining and re-registration take time: buyers look, promise to think and disappear. Fair price after inspection closes the auction on the spot. If money is needed urgently, the purchase takes away waiting and repeat displays.

Leave a request with the car data. We will discuss the preliminary assessment and inspection. After checking the status and documents, we agree on the final price and terms of the transaction.
