[@christophergomezy535]

thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. its been of great help. Love from the UK🇬🇧

[@GaneshBalan]

Thanks a lot Christopher. 😊👍🏻

[@fatihacikel58]

I've been looking for this video for a long time.You are a super human😊

[@GaneshBalan]

Thank you Fatih. 😊 Appreciate the feedback.

[@rtnVFRmedia]

links / rechts aussen = left/right outside - So you use the one labelled "links" for the assembly on the left hand side of the car, and "rechts" for the right hand side

[@GaneshBalan]

Thanks man. I recall checking in Google Translate as to what those meant. 😊

[@matrad318]

hi, the video is very useful, but is it the same procedure for those on the passenger side?

[@GaneshBalan]

Hi, I did this video on the passenger side of the RHD Polo sold in India. If you have a LHD Polo (e.g. sold in Germany), you will have to remove the windshield washer tank after removing the tire and fender liner.

[@matrad318]

@@GaneshBalan is there no way to do this without disassembling all the components 😅?

[@GaneshBalan]

@matrad318 haha unfortunately no. But it’s easy once you jack up the wheel and remove the fender lining. Just a few torx screws that hold the fender lining.

[@ngrnandha3076]

Removing RH side felt huge job

[@GaneshBalan]

Why so? Did some part come in between?

[@ngrnandha3076]

@@GaneshBalan ya wipers washer reservoir so right angled ratchet doesn’t fit with that bit so I removed half bumper and removed that screws with Allen key

Thank you from México!

Thanks man! 🥰

[@kartikchaudhari6679]

Hello sir, I want to replace windshield washer fluid hose pipe on my 2010 Vento, I have been through your post on teambhp and I have placed an order on boodmo for hose pipes from Toyota but it seems like they are having some difficulty in arranging the part as it is getting delayed, is there any alternative way for this or can I source the hose pipe from Toyota ASC? BTW, love your videos keep going👍 Thanks 😊

[@GaneshBalan]

Hi Kartik, use the tubing from Maruti. Works equally well. 👍🏻 and cheaper too. Do check Boodmo for the pricing and get it from the local MGP dealer.

[@kartikchaudhari6679]

Sir, VW Polo main company Fog lamp wiring nahi diya hai, To alag se 55w LED light dalne k liye wiring karna padega sir, ki headlight ki jo deam light hoti hai usme se ki ja saki hai ??? PLEASE REPLY 🙏🏻

[@GaneshBalan]

Hi Krish, Alag se wiring kar lo, battery se direct +12V connection leke aur ek 15A ke fuse lagake. Cabin ke andhar ek switch rakho, ground connection engine bay mein ek body mein bolt mein de do. Headlight connections se alag rakho.

[@HaridevV]

Hey Gannu, thanks for this video! It's a godsend. I broke one of the mounts and thought that's it, I need to replace the entire headlight assy! Could you share the link for the repair kit for the newer dual barrel headlights on the Polo (2022 make)?

[@GaneshBalan]

Hi Haridev, have mentioned the links from boodmo in the description for both the top and bottom mounts. Check it out. PS: It is the same for single barrel or dual barrel headlights.

[@AvataraPurusha]

Thanks for the video. I have same the exact problem. Could you send the link the top mounts please? Thanks.

Hey good to hear that Carlo. 🙂👍🏻 Do check some of my other clips on the Polo.

[@mr.nobody9646]

What about right side headlight bottom mount? Wrench doesnt go inside because of windshields washer reservoir

[@GaneshBalan]

Looks like someone had to find that out the hard way eh? 😂 Haven’t tried the driver side one. Will check it out some time when I get access to my friend’s car.

[@Hari-mg2eu]

a lorry hit my polo and the top headlight clamps broke. showroom told me to replace the unit :( thanks sooo much for this video!! the new bracket mounts without welding?

[@GaneshBalan]

Hi Hari, I didn’t understand what you meant by welding.

[@gsudarshan7251]

What was the thread pitch of these screws? geneic m6x1x25?

[@GaneshBalan]

Hi Sudarshan, no clue man. Don’t have access to the car either.

[@jayant4u2u]

Sir my polo light is twin type so this repair kit can use in my car

[@GaneshBalan]

Hi Jayant, yes the kit is universal for all the type of headlights for the Polo 6R.

[@mr.nobody9646]

This is the only bottom mount which is accessible without removing the bumper

[@GaneshBalan]

Hi, were you able to fix/repair the headlight mounts?

[@richy5314rp]

Thanks, great help

Thanks richy. Do check out some of my other clips as well.

Buongiorno mi puoi aiutare ad una perdita di liquido refrigerante con cadenza mensile, non riesco a vedere la perdita, se hai avuto un problema del genere è quali sono state le azioni per risolverlo, grazie.

[@robertoalfonso6728]

Buongiorno l'auto è una POLO 1.6 TDI del 2009 form Italy

[@GaneshBalan]

Ciao Roberto, prima hai sostituito la pompa del liquido di raffreddamento? Come forse saprai, questa è una pompa del liquido di raffreddamento azionata dal motore. Per favore, fallo sostituire se non lo hai fatto. La prossima cosa è controllare eventuali perdite nel sistema nei tubi di gomma, una crepa nel radiatore ecc.

[@robertoalfonso6728]

@@GaneshBalan auto usata non so se è stata sostituita, lo faro prima di tutto.grazie

[@manjurajarahate1402]

Hi Sir. I own a polo tdi 2018. I wanted to ask if it is possible to change the headlight lens?

[@GaneshBalan]

Hi Manjuraja, the lens is not sold separately as a child part unfortunately. You’ll have to buy the whole assembly. Did your headlamp lens crack or fade?

[@manjurajarahate1402]

It has a crack on the right side

[@GaneshBalan]

You’ll have to get a unit from a scrap car and change it man. See these links, it’s not available as a child part: oriparts.com/39/721/72698/3630809 oriparts.com/39/721/72698/3630810

Top clip mount repair kit is showing around 2000 for just 2 clip...its too expensive or what

[@GaneshBalan]

Yeah man it is. :( Unfortunately the repair kit is imported. Irony is pay some 1200 more and you get a brand new OE headlight (single barrel type).

[@sachinbabu358]

Informative

[@the.khajursshow7273]

From India From where to buy. ? How much cost?

[@GaneshBalan]

Which mounts are you looking for? Top or bottom? Bottom mounts - boodmo.com/catalog/part-6r0941511-28496594/

[@the.khajursshow7273]

Top mounts

[@mr.nobody9646]

Top mound cost only Rs.2570😂😂

[@GaneshBalan]

Yep expensive for a pair since it is imported. They should have locally manufactured this part. It’s been over 13 years since VW is here.

[@userArabka]

Супер, тоже надо сделать!!!

Благодарю вас! Попробуйте.
