I think you have to get the new abs unit paired with ecu and all the modules in the car so they match i think its a safety thing against theft

[@noelsham1901]

Finally ❤

[@advikbhushan7652]

Bro did u check trouble codes for why it didn't start because abs and traction control light were blinking after engine was stalled?

[@abhiautotech1031]

Maybe the problem is with the instrument cluster as I think the can wire run from the instrument cluster through the abs module to the ecm.

[@AK-sv4kb]

Hey Prerak any video on Polo drum brake maintenance. I hardly find any good videos regarding them. I recently opened the rear drum for a cleaning and was shocked to see extreme grooves all over the drum material. The shoes were thin but still had enough material till the metal. Despite that there were groves on the shoes as well. Don't know if some sand or dust entered this spot but I doubt that. Hope I can skim the drum brakes while I replace the shoes. A video about shoe replacement would be helpful. My gt crossed a little over 1,10,000 and I have never changed the rear brake shoes. I also don't park in gear unless on some incline. So parking brake is always engaged. I'm pretty sure most polo owners have probably neglected the rear drum brakes as well.

[@PrerakKataria]

Sure thing, I’ll see if I can get this done

[@evoxf1]

super exited, wish I could convert my ciaz too :D

[@tomwhit1982]

Interesting to come across this. I've done an awd conversion on my Skoda Octavia / Laura vRS 2.0 TSI. It's a manual but I used an Audi S3 8P and pump and gen5 Haldex from a Skoda Yeti.

[@PrerakKataria]

Oh that’s nice ! How has it been?

[@aryanchauhan7660]

have been following you since a very long time on Instagram and finally the series is here!! super excited for it. Just a query what is your background and how become competent enough to do it by yourself. Do you have any prior experience in auto industry?

[@PrerakKataria]

I’ve been working with machines or machinery all my life, I’m 22 right now and the size of the toys I dismantle and put together has just kept getting bigger and led me here, I’ve always had keen interest in machinery, especially cars. All the experience I have is just by working on my own cars.

PQ35 awd conversion from FWD. Cool . I wonder if I can do this with the PQ25 polo with audi S1 8x parts

[@PrerakKataria]

Polo’s chassis is just not built for this, you’ll need to cut half the bottom end in order to do that

[@SattickDas2001]

@@PrerakKataria yea, for the driveshaft and all of that।। The floor pan is different। But we can fab all that। We have the tools

hi perak, big fan of this build! i wanted to know if awd conversions like these are legal in india. I am from mumbai, and i was wondering if you have any idea of the legalities for the same.

[@heisenberg3303-r4d]

Is warranty voided in this process 😅

[@PrerakKataria]

Nope, I’m the new warranty now

Bro, suggest me a better place to buy new or used spares for VW polo. I'm looking to upgrade my steering & instrument cluster.

[@Joshuanissi]

Bro..is this possible..when we put reverse gear side mirrors automatically go down for better view..is it possible with coding?

It’s possible if you have the L&K door module and L&K exterior mirrors. For the case of Laura
