What does EPC mean in Volkswagen polo?
EPC means Electronic Pedal Control. Fly-by-wire for your gas pedal--instead of a mechanical cable that pulls an accelerator linkage on the engine, there's an electronic device on the gas pedal, an electronic device on the throttle body and a wire between them.
If the 3 way catalyst system is failing how do you fix that?
I went to a second Autozone. He couldn't say for 100% certainty but he said code PO240 was most likely the 02 sensor(oxygen) but there are 3 and can run $100 a piece plus labor. I answered my own question. Do I get a prize:)

How to open Fuel cap for volkswagen polo?
Had same problem at first, The car needs to be open then just press the cover over the cap. If the car is locked the cap will not open...
Why is my Vw polo abs light is on but no other warning light?
I had the same problem try one of the fuses on the battery it was one of these that had gone and it cured the problem. Cost approx 50p rather than £400 for a new pump.I had problem with the connector under the fuses-the abs light up
30% of the driving time-Cost nothing to fix it.
How do you change time to temperature on 1.4 polo clock on dash board?
You can only do that if you have an onboard computer. In my case I have a VW Polo Confortline 2006 with computer. Then you just need to press an up/down button on the extremety of the wipe wash control (the right one). If you don't have onboard computer, I believe you that you can't check the ouside temperature, travel time, Kilometers left with current fuel on tank...
Your wolkswagen polo is open an you cant open the fuel cap?
If the fuel cap is jammed when a Volkswagen Polo is open the lid can be wedge with a flathead screwdriver. Depending on whether the cap will come off or not, the unit may need to be broken off and replaced.
Why would the oil light be flashing on 02 seat ibiza?
Your low on oil or Oil is covering the sensor on the tank.
How do you change the brake pads on the Saab 93?
Replacing SAAB 9.3 rear brake pads (backing off the caliper piston without requiring use of special tools or re-bleeding the brake system):
Note: SAAB 9.3's DO NOT have an hydraulic actuating piston adjusting screw on the back side of the rear brake caliper/hydraulic actuating piston assembly as the earlier SAAB 900's do.
Assuming that the portion of the procedure involving safely raising and placing the vehicle on jackstands, removing the tire/wheel and removing the rear brake caliper/hydraulic actuating piston assembly from the rear brake caliper/pad carrier bracket went OK, the interesting part then becomes backing off the caliper assembly's hydraulic actuating piston (sometimes referred to as winding the piston in) to provide the additional clearance necessary to permit the caliper/hydraulic actuating piston assembly to then be able to accommodate the new (and therefore thicker) brake pads. It requires that the hydraulic actuating piston be rotated to the right (clockwise) while at the same time being pressed inward. SAAB service garages use a special tool to accomplish this but it can also be accomplished in your home garage with everyday tools as follows:
- use the tips of a pair of heavy needle nosed pliers (or end prong snap ring pliers or a 'U' bent heavy nail's shank clamped in long nose Vice-Grip plier jaws) to engage the two holes on the face of the hydraulic actuating piston to twist the hydraulic piston to the right a few turns until it turns somewhat more freely within its rubber dust seal (lubricating around the edges of the dust seal where it meets the face of the hydraulic piston with brake fluid helps).
- place a piece of 3/16" clear tubing over the the nipple of the brake bleeder valve after removing its dust cover and OPEN THE BLEEDER VALVE keeping the clear tubing pointing upward (important to keep air from possibly entering the hydraulic assembly; a small amount of brake fluid will come out but no air should be allowed to enter)
- apply an 8 inch 'C' clamp which has a ball jointed (hopefully lubricated) pad at the end of the clamp's jack screw such that the clamp's ball jointed pad rests centered on the face of the hydraulic actuating piston and the clamp's fixed pad rests on the back side of the caliper/hydraulic actuating piston assembly. Tighten the 'C' clamp enough so that the clamp will stay in place on its own and then give it another 1/4 turn on the jack screw (do not over tighten it as it would cause damage) .
- now using a pair of channel lock pliers, clamp them firmly around the outer perimeter of the 'C' clamp's ball jointed clamp pad which is resting in contact with the face of the hydraulic actuating piston and turn it 1/4 turn to the right, such that THE PAD AND PISTON ROTATE TOGETHER. If the pad skids on ther face of the piston instead of turning together with it, include a small piece of sandpaper or a knurled (bicycle axle type) washer between the 'C' clamp's pad and the face of the hydraulic actuating piston to improve the grip. The piston MUST turn while being forced inward.
- notice that the 'C' clamp becomes a bit looser as the hydraulic actuating piston retracts slightly with the 1/4 turn so re-tighten the 'C' clamp with a 1/4 turn of its jack screw after each 1/4 turn of the hydraulic actuating piston, repeating this operation until the hydraulic actuating piston has been backed off sufficiently to provide the caliper / hydraulic actuating piston assembly adequate clearance to accommodate the total thickness of the new thicker brake pads and the brake rotor.
- reassemble the caliper/hydraulic actuating piston assembly over the brake rotor with the new rear brake pads in place in the caliper / brake pad carrier bracket and refasten it onto the caliper carrier bracket (with its two Allen head bolts - applying a thin layer of grease to the shanks of the bolts and blue loc-tite reversible thread locker to the threads - replace the dust covers over these two bolts when fully tightened / torqued).
- CLOSE THE BLEEDER VALVE (obviously a most important item) and dry it and its surrounding area off completely.
- Start the engine to power up the hydraulic brake booster and pump the brakes firmly several times which will cause the caliper assembly's hydraulic actuating piston to self adjust the caliper's hydraulic actuating piston into proper relationship with the brake rotor.
- Re-check the bleeder valve to be absolutely sure it had been properly closed and that no brake fluid had issued when pumping the brakes in the step above and replace its dust cover.
- Open the cap on the on the master cylinder's brake fluid reservoir (under hood on the driver side firewall) and replenish any lost brake fluid (using only type DOT 4brake fluid - do not allow any dirt to enter the master cylinder's reservoir)
- Test the hand brake and test drive the vehicle with several hard stops before considering the newly replaced rear brake pad job complete and the vehicle ready to be safely returned to service.
- This is a safety related procedure so please do the work with great care.
How do you change brake pads on Mercedes 190e 2.6?
The rear pads are similar to a late model volvo. Jack up and remove the rear wheels. With a large spike nail or small drift pin remove the two horizontal pins the go thru the caliper and brake pads. With a plier grab the brake pad, wiggle and pull out of the rear of the caliper. Insert the new pads, install drip pins and you ar done. You may need to insert and prior the old pads against the caliper to push the piston back for more space to insert the new pads.
Why are the brake lights on all the time on Seat Ibiza?
It could be the brake pedal switch or the rear light cluster circiut boards
How do you change the brake pads on a 2001 Alero?
Its a lot easer than you think each side on the front has four bolts two for the caliper and two for the bracket they both have to come off if you wont to replace the rotors to (its a good idea pads will last longer) the ones on the bracket have rubber things that like to spin grab the metal part with a pair of pliers or channel locks and use a rachet on the other side, then pull the caliper off and pull out the pads. The pads are different so pay attention. When putting this assembly back together you will want to get those floating pins out of there and clean them up real good, as in shiny even if you have to use some steel wool. Then use some good high heat grease, this way your calipers will float nicely without your pads wearing unevenly!
Hold the injector in place at the injection site for 10 seconds.
Recommended coolant/ antifreeze for vw, audi, skoda, seat is G12. Very good coolant, helps, lubricates an works as a anti-corrosive serum.
How much oil do you put into a Volkswagen polo 1999 1.4 L after an oil change?
about 3.5L including the oil Filter
if you are still not sure then after the oil change drive the car to get it to the working temperature the stop the engine for 5-10 min and then check the oil dip-stick .
hope that works
Which is better vw polo or Opel corsa?
do not ever buy a volkswagen. to fix that car is very frustrating and expensive. worse still, the volkswagen dealers are not cooperative when it comes to repairing an old version.
Depends a lot on the model and age. Some of the three cylinder engines in the 02-onwards cars have had issues, these were brand new in 2002 and the designs have been modified since to fix some of the problems that have appeared. One big problem with the 1.2 engines is slippage of the timing chain (the engines use a chain instead of a cam belt). In theory the chain is supposed to save on maintenance and never need replacing like an ordinary rubber cam belt, but in practice a problem with the tensioners meant that many of them slipped at around 40-50,000 miles, meaning the engines had to be stripped and rebuilt with new chains and modified tensioners. Be wary of any older (pre 2005) 1.2's that haven't had this work done.
How do you change the brake pads on a 1996 mercury cougar?
Lift the car on a jack, remove the tire and set aside, remove the brake shoe/caliper and remove the old brake pad. Next put in the new brake pads, put the brake shoe/caliper in its place, put the tire back on the car and lower the car to the ground.
What is likely to be the cause of a loud squealing noise when you put your foot down on the clutch?
throw-out bearing going bad is my guess
Is a Volkswagen Polo considered a good car - and why?
no due to the fact that its standard transmission is faulty
How do you access the rear screen washer nozzle on a VW polo?
depends on model, mine is a 1999 polo, open hatchback and remove screws from the handle then prise of the door cover all the way round, clips just spring out and re snap back in position, simple really.
