The glow plug itself will block shavings from going down while you drill it out. Once you remove the stuck plug you can insert a wad of toilet paper or cotton ball while you either clean up the threads or time-sert.

I’m in Paris for a couple of weeks and there’s plenty of tdi vw and Audi running around. I don’t have any anymore but I was always interested in these we don’t get in the US. I also have some touran tdi pics but they are too big to load IMG_8617.jpegIMG_8704.jpeg

Yes I loaded the wrong picture 😂. I was trying to put the Polo and touran tdi but I grabbed the wrong one. I will delete the Audi. Thanks for noticing.

ohh this polo is my favorite, i had this in 1.2 petrol for a first car :D it's pretty scary they came with pd130/pd150 :D sadly, the most common TDIs in this body are the 3 cylinder 1.4 PDs and not the fun ones :D

I always though VW should bring the Polo over as a beetle replacement. Something to offer towards to the bottom of the $$ chain. It would have been a good option against the Civic class, but then again, I'm only the consumer with money to burn.

The original new Beetle was going to be built on the Polo platform, but I'm guessing it was easier to federalize the Golf platform.

'05 Passat Variant, Still miss the 03JW
05 Passat wagon 340k, still driven daily, and with regular service, the original AT performs just fine. My local guru, KCTDI has been a prince. This car still puts a smile on my face. Major weak spot, besides cam and balance shaft module, is the door locks. I have replaced driver's door lock 3 times other 3 doors once each, and rear hatch once.
