used mk6 golf shall be better choice than the low quality indian-made parts on localized polo. i regret didn't take used mk6 golf instead, only some concern on dsg and engine but my friend used for 5 years only engine problem once.

What's the battery size for Polo 1.6 Hatchback ?
Can we get 3rd party brands ? Where to fix it ?

Anyone know where to get stock Armrest for our VW Polo Hatchback, without armrest suffer driving long distance!!!! ???

Battery Size DIN 55

Brand like Varta / Amaron are good enough....

Use Bateriku include delivery to doorstep and price reasonable.

My VW Polo bought in April 2015
Original battery died and replace for FOC on 16-Feb-2017
The replacement battery died on 5-Feb-2018 (less than 1 year from the replacement date above).

Volkswagen Service Center (Puchong/USJ) says CANNOT REPLACE because the battery warranty period is 24-months from purchase date.

That means any replacement battery within the first 24-months has ZERO warranty !! (if it was replaced on the 24th month). BEWARE such tactics !

Additionally, the standard 12-month warranty applies only if I paid for replacement battery

VW car reg before Sep 2016, battery warranty is 2 years. After Sep 2016, battery warranty is 1 year only.
2 variant of VW battery I've seen installed on polo - Sebang Korea or Exide Spain. My Exide Spain also dead last year just within 2 years warranty window.

hey guys, just wanted some opinion, was quoted RM53k for 2016 vento 1.6 CL by volkswagen dealer, they said it's a pre-reg unit, but somehow mileage is at 23k. is it worth buying?

replaced the back ones from outside of VW SC..
parts itself inclusive of the rubber shock absorbers as well.. <RM700 (one pair)

how much is the battery price?

With patience you can get very low mileage unit. I bought mine @168km after surveying a few units..

Outside about RM300 +- 50 range.

not too bad. any particular reason can't use "normal" battery that we buy for other cars? is it becoz higher amps?

which year is this? latest one got armrest

Higher amp and also DIN sized, which has shorter height compare to usual NS sized. Even my gen2 also using DIN sized as default so the price of 300+- is actually acceptable for me. Of coz not the SC price is 700-800 bucks

Mine is 2015 model hatchback, so dont have, very sad
