Thank you so much I followed the instructions step by step and it worked very well I replaced my original radiator with nrf radiator, it costed me about 120$ instead of 350$ if I needed machinist to do it for me Your video is very detailed and covers everything. Thank a lot man👍👍❤️
Informative and detailed video, good feeling when it's all done. Thanks for sharing. Sadly repairing a modern car isn't simple, changing the starter motor on my xsara picasso took 2.5 hours just to remove it.
very useful video. I did the same operation today. The antifreeze was running on the thermocouple and I had no place to work without turning the front side down. I put an oring gasket on the thermocouple. It took about 4 hours
Great video! But there is an easier way, which I have tried, to support the whole assembly so you can replace either the ac condenser or the radiator. After you remove the crash metal bumper you can use 3 long bolts M8 on either side, to thread into the holes from the bolts holding that crash bumper, and then you can slide the whole assembly ( frame+ radiator and condenser) forward(after you disconnect the radiator hoses). So you don't have to remove the frame holding the radiator and condenser, you just suport it on those 6 bolts( I used 15 cm long bolts, 6 inch). After you support it, you can easily access whatever you want to dismantle. Keep up the good work. All the best!
Great video thanks. I have a problem with the heat inside of the car. When I start my car I can't lower the inside temperature. After awhile it goes cold or vice versa. I don't know what the problem is. Do you know if this is common on these cars? And if so. What do I have to replace for fix. Thanks
Hi there. How did you disconnect the wiring plug from the thermo-switch at 9:06 please? I'm really struggling to disconnect it? Also can I do it from the top without being under the car? I just need to replace the switch as fan doesn't work (checked the fuses already).
Thank you Sir for the tutorial everything works very well.. and i just replace with new radiator and now i want to radiator fan turn on earlier because i live in tropical country. how should i do to make radiator fan spinning earlier.? thanks
Quick question. I keep losing cooling liquid on my Polo. Could it have something to do with the radiator? My temperature also decreases when I drive higher speeds. Thank you!
That is a hard one. What I would do is do a leak down test of the engine. If the valves are leaking than i would pull the head find a replacement or let the valves redone. A full engine rebuild can be very expensive and sometimes it is just a lost cause that the blok is cracked. Most of the time it is better to find a replacement engine. Good luck in your quest my gabber.
You can put the front end in a so called " service mode" but still it is still the same job and the same work. VW isn't the only one guilty of this. But still it is just frustrating. Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much

Thank you very much! Your video helped me to change the radiator and solved the problem! The video was really helpfull 👍🏻
That is great to hear!
Great video! Very helpful, i was going to change a leaky rad but after seeing how much is involved i think ill pay the garage.
thank you so much! me and my dad have a polo as a project car and now it doesn't leak all the time! thanks!
No problem, you did alt the work! Glad that the video helpt you out.

Thank you! Yes new cars can be really fun to work on.
I felt for you on this one. VW nice cars as long as you do not have to work on them. well done and thank you.
There not that bad but sometimes... Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the tuto! Cheers
No problem!

Great job! it is just a shame you have to remove the front for a 'simple' job like that.

That's a way of doing it indeed. They called this "service mode" you have special tools for this but long bolt will work fine also.
Frame u mean the cradle?
Thanks man!
No problem.
Thx it will help me to remplace the AC condensator ✌️
Great to hear! thanks for the comment!
How long did it take you, bro?
thank you friend
No problem!
Hello, thanks for the video. I do have a question then. Do the headlights need to be readjusted afterwards or at least checked?
Do you think it is possible to replace the plastic front section (bracket thing that holds the radiator) without draining the radiator?
which ac comppersor from opel fit for seat ibiza 6j 2010 bts 1600 please?

Hi, it sounds like that the electric flap door doesn't work. here is a link that will help you out. uk-polos.net/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=52145

Hi, the best thing you can do is practice with one of the other connectors. you need to lever the back lip to get it of. But they can be a real pain.
@@TheDutchGarage thank you Sir. Will have a go.

Maybe there is a radiator sensor that has a lower point of activation.
@@TheDutchGarage is it relay?
It's the sensor that you srew into the radiator.
@@TheDutchGarage ok i'll try to figure out
Great video. Can you tell me what sealant you used on the pipes please?
Just a engine sealer that can withstand coolant.
Hi, great video, do you remind the size of the orings you used ?
Thank you! If i'm not mistaking 19.5MMX3.5MM

Buy a new bottle cap your problem sorted
It is a possibility that you have a leaking headgasket.
what was the blue sealant you used for the radiator temperature switch?
Just some gasket maker, versachem super blue type 613 to be precise.
Hallo, I have polo 1.2 2004 9n, I have a low engin pressure 81 psi. Do you think it worth to fix this issue or to put a used engine?
That is a hard one. What I would do is do a leak down test of the engine. If the valves are leaking than i would pull the head find a replacement or let the valves redone.

Part number radiator ?
Is this process the same on a 2008 polo ?
It would be similar but not the same.
Chofaj. Iron. 2007
Size oring pipe
Don't know, but your local part shop can help you with that.
for god shake! vw rules! one radiator and you almost dissamble the whole car... they are really unbelievable!

What is wrong with the radiator you are removing?
Its leaking.
