The Polo Sedan is Gas engine 1.6 liters with 105 hp. For the correct functioning of all systems, it is necessary to monitor technical condition your car. In preparation for, the replacement of candles for the Volkswagen Polo Sedan is shown.
When it is necessary to change the candles for the Polo Sedan
According to maintenance instructions this car, replacement of candles is carried out after every 60,000 km.
Platinum-coated or iridium-coated spark plugs will extend this service life. Also, during replacement, it is imperative to check the components of the ignition system for serviceability, such as: ignition coils, spark plug tips and coil fuses.
Checking the candles requires a visual inspection for the presence of soot (it can tell a lot), oil stains and, of course, the gap.
The gap on the spark plugs of the Polo Sedan should be between 1.0-1.1 mm.
After removing the ignition coils, in order to avoid the ingress of dust and dirt in the cylinder block, it is necessary to blow out the spark plug wells with compressed air.
It is necessary to unscrew the candles from the candle well with the maximum degree of accuracy so as not to disrupt the thread.
When checking the candles, if the gap between the electrodes is less or more than 1.0-1.1, then it is necessary to adjust it to the specified values by bending the electrode.
Adjustment must be made by bending only the side electrode, without touching the central one. Any bend on the central electrode will lead to a violation of the insulation of the candle, and as a result of its failure.
It is recommended to apply lubricating paste G 052141 A2 to the ignition coils when installing new spark plugs. The use of this paste prevents both the "sticking" of the spark plug to the tip of the ignition coil and its threaded part.
Install the spark plugs in the reverse order of removal, tightening them to a torque of 25 Nm.

Spark plugs are an important part of any car. Their quality directly affects the operation of the engine. The service life depends on many parameters, such as high temperatures, fuel quality and various additives.
Often breakdowns in the Volkswagen Polo Sedan are associated with spark plugs. If there is a troite, there is a loss of power, the motor does not work clearly, then the first step is to check their condition. After all, the negative factor of a faulty part is that an inoperative candle can cause the converter to fail. exhaust gases, as well as to increase the emission factor of gasoline and toxic substances into the atmosphere. Therefore, you need to constantly monitor the technical condition of the candles.
For car engines, plugs of the VAG10190560F type or their analogues offered by other manufacturers are used.
There are two reasons why you need to replace the spark plugs in a Volkswagen Polo:
- Mileage from 30 thousand km. and more (these figures are indicated in the car maintenance regulations).
- Typical engine malfunctions ("floating" idling, cold motor troit, etc.).
Inspections of the technical condition must be carried out in a specialized service center... But if the car was bought without a guarantee and everything is available necessary tools, then replacement and inspection can be carried out independently.
First, you need to prepare all the tools that you need:
- Spark plug wrench 16, length 220 mm.
- The screwdriver is flat.
All work must be carried out on a cold engine. The surface of all parts must first be cleaned to prevent debris from entering the combustion chamber.
After all preparatory work the plastic protective cover must be removed from the engine. Its latches are located on both sides on the left and right and open with normal pressure. Four ignition coils can be seen under the cover along with low voltage wires. To get to the candles, you need to remove all of these parts.
The coil is usually removed with a special tool, but, as a rule, this device is only available in technical services. Therefore, a simple flat screwdriver is used to remove it. They begin to dump from the first coil. For this, the sharp end of a screwdriver is slipped under the part and the entire structure is raised with a careful upward movement.
After all the coils are torn from their places, you need to remove the wires from them. There is a latch on the coil block, by pressing which you can remove the terminal with the wires.
All ignition coils can then be removed. Check the contact point between the coil and the spark plug. If the connector is oxidized or dirty, it should be cleaned because this could cause the spark plug to fail or subsequently lead to coil failure.
Then, with a candle wrench, turn off the spark plugs one by one. Here you should also pay attention to their condition. A working part is considered to be one on the surface of which there is no black carbon and various liquids, traces of fuel, oil. If such signs are found, then a set of measures should be taken to identify the malfunction. This could be a burned-out valve, resulting in low compression. Problems can also be in the cooling system or with the oil pump.
Installation of new spark plugs is carried out in the reverse order. From the recommendation, it is worth noting that you need to wrap them with your hand, and not with a crank or other auxiliary devices. If the part does not go along the thread, it can be felt and corrected. To do this, unscrew the candle back, clean its surface and repeat the procedure. Tighten to a torque of 25 Nm. Overtightening can damage the internal threads on the cylinder. Which will entail major repairs.
The ignition coil is inserted until a characteristic click is heard, then the remaining wires are connected to it. All terminals must be placed strictly in the places where they were. If installed incorrectly, the ignition of the vehicle may be lost.
(SZ) are an important part of the internal combustion engine. Engine operation depends on their quality. Many factors affect the service life. The article discusses when the replacement of candles is performed on the Volkswagen Polo Sedan, given detailed instructions to replace them with your own hands.
