Glad you enjoy my take on these! It's a bit of fun, and at face value, works the best. I'm busy renovating my apartment. Will have episode 2 sometime next week. Oh; and the car in the background is a 3200GT. My first Maserati; full nut and bolt restoration. Bit broken at the minute; freshly rebuilt turbo failed so that has gone back to the shop... Long long story this car has

Appreciate that Julian Will let you know in a short while. Car on the hoist next!

I'll be in touch. I'll be making a whole bunch of parts myself. It's the overengineered bits that I'll need

⁠@@daseuro sounds good 👍

Appreciate these comments! Always hard to do technical and entertaining videos. I'll line up a full run-through on how to perform the timing belt swap. WIth parts and all. We use a MK5 Golf tensioner to make the system more reliable. I wish I had more resources, only have the official manuals from VW. drive.google.com/drive/folders/1R2NBFTibUaPQCCnzAnPB67GOMWf5tdEt?usp=drive_link I've just done enough of these blast through them so quickly. To do the timing belt, you do have to support the engine given that you must remove the engine mount to access the side of the engine block. Using a floor jack with a wide block of timber place it across the bottom of the sump. Jack up the engine so the engine mount is no longer supporting it. That way you can remove the bolts and nut without damaging them. Once disconnected; you do need to raise the engine higher to release the 2x 16mm bolts holding the mount onto the block. And then lower the engine to access the bottom 1x 16mm bolt holding the same mount. Once all 3x screws are removed; jack it up again and you have full freedom with the timing circuit(once the balancer and lower two covers are removed). 10mm socket inserted under the crank pulley to hold the belt in place when installing; Is one is my favorite tricks. Good luck!!

@@daseuro wow thank you so much for the link. what an fantastic resource! -- i'm actually still so blown away with how much detail you've given in your last three paragraphs. This feels like I've just dined at a 5 star Michelin restaurant and the chef has pulled me into the kitchen and shown me a few of his secret techniques. you are 9n3 wizard, i've never seen anyone be more at home with a polo gti than your videos. it's absolutely criminal you don't have more subs. and that's not even touching on how entertainingly funny these videos are too. i cannot express how excited i was to know you'll be working on a full timing belt run through (hopefully in time before my belt needs to be replaced haha) -- you rock! keep up the great work! :D

Was wondering the same thing...unless it was stuck open. But indeed worth a try before ball bearings. Nice trick though!

Internal seal has completely failed. Any pressure applied to the injector, goes right through and into the cylinder! No other way to isolate it other than blocking the fuel supply line.

That is the legend H100VW, Squib is still going strong! Gav's helped so many people throughout all these years, doesn't get as much credit as he should!!

Fyi for anyone else coming here, my issue was the actuator, however checked electronics and all was good, instead of buying a new one a chucked a load of WD40 in it and it’s working now, don’t know if it will last, will have to see

When you have the switch pressed. you have a closed circuit. Current flow only when the doors are unlocked!! It is constantly in a pressed position; until you lift the handle.

I have not interfaced them. I have nothing useful to connect them to at this current moment. Might interface them so the entire car runs off those buttons. Pushbutton start, etc

you can open the boot via the interior. Drop the seats down and slide the key into the tailgate trim. There is an opening. Once it is open; two phillips screws, one inside each handle and pull the trim directly downwards away from the tailgate.

Exhaust leak from headgasket? Sounds like fingers for toes. Not even close mate 🤣 Definitely an exhaust leak, can hear it from outside the car. Will be chasing it up this weekend. Can be gaskets. Can be flex pipe. Can be the manifold too. If someone was bright enough to get down there and mess with it, which I'd not be surprised at all about. Wait until the final episode :) ta

😂 🤡 the final should be funny, surely you're going to show the water pump.

Thank you Renato! Probably. But; might have to adjust the mounting points for them. If they have a position for the MAP sensor, I would say. Why not!

Kuhmo Exsta 87W rating. 205/45/R16 tyre spec. Check your fuel filler door for tyre specifications for your car.

@@daseuro thank you very much, you’re response and information. I’ll check. Have a good day.

Given once its been topped up. Level held steady and it lasted a solid hour of driving. Not the case! Would be sludgy everywhere. Stay tuned for Ep 2 😉

Will do when we're putting it back together! Stay tuned :)

Ah. Not yet, but the Polo wasn't happy with me at all ........

Keep an eye out for it :D

Shop's full right now; so doing all the work offsite. Gavin's still getting me the bits for the mechanical side of the project :)

Haha; certainly :) I got the full set. Except half of it is sitting half way around the world for the moment 😅

@@daseuro which kidney did you sell, left or right. Shipping would be crazy

All of them and my soul too :)

It's awful Will get booted out the bay shortly 😁

@@benjipal partsmatrix.com.au/volkswagen/polo/ Watch this space 🫡

when either one of us travels 1000km; cause Strayya

Part is 1T0962103 $102AUD from VW should be still available!

Is that all you have to do. I wanna do a conversion on my polo aswell but don't know where to start. Can you explain in detail how you did it and how you got it to work. Is there any coding involved?

@@chadstokes6961 no coding involved just remove the lock from the barrel so it is no longer sticking out into the way of the keyless boot handle all the original linkages stay in place. and you simply cut the midle wire of the 3 pin connector. its quite stright forward did this a year or so ago so i cant remember all the details hope this helps

Did you ever find the micro switch? I'm trying to find mine. I know you commented 2 years ago but I'm lost

@@Maxibtheog Think you must have another model. This was for models between 2007 - 2009 only.

The part number for this type of switch is 1T0 962 103

I found it listed as 1T0962103
