my first ever car. no hyper or sportscar, no full electronic stress in the interior. just a car you can drive from a to b. hope i can keep the polo long as i can
Same here, but instead of a 2007 1.4 it's a 2006 1.9 with right hand drive (since I'm Australian). it's lasted me this long and since it's so light and powerful for it's size, it's acceleration is stupidly good and sticks to the ground like shit to a blanket.
i have the same car 1.4tdi match on a 09 plate agree with the suspension and steering you get no road feedback but apart from that its a nice little car good on fuel and comfortable
1.4 TDI 59 kw is a perfectly sufficient engine for a car the size of Polo, Fabia, Ibiza. Of course, it's not the 1.9 TDI 74 kw (50-90 = 5.59 vs. 7.19; 80-120 = 8.94 vs. 9.12; 1.9 TDI values taken from the vid with Fabia), but it's a shame how this engine is unnecessarily maligned. At the same time, it is quite reliable, economical and does not have bad dynamics.
Totally agree, it runs sooo good as you can see but for me the perfect balance is the 1.9 TDI 74-81kw :) That 1.4 TDI 59kw, is a truly good option for a daily use, no doubt.
Would you say the reliability is exceptional? What faults have you come across whilst owning this car? Would you recommend the 1.2 version? Finally do you experience abit of rusting, especially during the winter and spring??
@@user3946 You can check the others 1.4TDI I tested on the channel and see the high mileage and how it works and runs. I'm not the owner, I just did a test drive but for sure with a properly maintenance is super reliable with very low fuel consumption. In my area is very weird to find rusty cars fortunately.
hey, you're doing a great job, but would you mind recording your partner's Peugeot with 2.0 hdi? years 2000-2001. you can try to look for the ushuaia version of this car, I'm waiting and greetings from Poland
I have a question about the yellow flashing oil control lamp after starting the engine. I have the same situation in my VW. Is it a problem or it happens normally always after starting the engine? I have already checked the oil level and it seems to be okay ://
Hah youtube algorithm know what to suggest as always 😄 i have an eye for this car for more than 5 years already i think is getting pretty old but still good candidate for first car ,i never been huge fan to own a car cause you know expenses, if you dont need.it why to buy it ,now i want to buy a house in the countryside and maybe will go once a week and probably use it to go.for work everyday ,do you think this engine is good for outside of the city drive ,like im not sure cause i maybe buy a house in 50 km distance and maybe i will like one in 200 km distance and what other suggestions you can give me ,the main is i will drive alone or with 1 person in the car ,to be good efficient fuel , cheap parts and reliable i dont want to be to pricey cause not to worry about her to much ,i like corsa C 1.3 cdti ,opel astra G the old 1.6 mono engine too but again this cars are pretty old already, i will like to hear your opinion as a specialist 😀 cheers and thanks for the video.
For long distances i think its not because on highways you will be driving around 100 kmh and the engine will stay around 2300 revs per min. This king of polos has short gear ratio
@@ariewitte4453 I'm sorry but I don't know if I really understand you. The car is 1089kg, it cannot be 1600kg car, that's the weight of a big sedan or a SUV.

@TradStick49 🤘🏻😎
With a less cylinder, it still running so well!
Good engine and car too!
It runs so well with ridiculous lower consumption!
Very good daily car!
Fuel save and running so good!
It really is!
I love polo's I think they're lovely cars

@@___instinct___362 If I can, I answer to everybody, is the minimmum I can do for the people who see my test drives and support me :)
Is this engine suitable for long distances ??Greetings from Tunisia
Yes, why not?
Is more than a city engine
Greetings from Tunisia❤❤😅😊
For long distances i think its not because on highways you will be driving around 100 kmh and the engine will stay around 2300 revs per min. This king of polos has short gear ratio
Yes, dear, it is. I have driven it from Istanbul to northern Turkey with no problems, even at 160 km/h. it is reliable and economical car
Lhd with british plates?
Yes!
whats the oil light flashing at the beginning 1:02 for ? i have the same issue and i Never had an answer for it !!!!! :)
Low level of oil.
@@testdrivehero oh !!! Wait how much L of oil do you put in it ?
@@adamakaben10 You have the answer on the video :)
3.9L 😉 Thank you boss
i own a 2006 polo tdi love it but you got the weight wrong with about 500kg
i have the 4/5 door version btw
@@ariewitte4453 I'm sorry but I don't know if I really understand you.
The car is 1089kg, it cannot be 1600kg car, that's the weight of a big sedan or a SUV.
Problem with thermostat? Coolant temp is too low
Yep, probably
i got a 1.2 12v patrol from 2007 it run smooth for a 1.2

de donde es esa matricula? el distintivo medioambiental es español no?
UK!
Ja ga koristim kao porodicni auto, isli na more sa njim. Tako da nije ono za pocetnike. I moj je 70 ks . Rekao bih da mu mozda fali tih 10 bar.
Not for beginners? Why?
@@testdrivehero jeste i za pocetnike naravno, ali i za porodicu isto.
Suena un poco mal pero anda muy bien 😉

Something the polo 1.4 TDI the 1.9 TDI & SDI 2004 & 2008
Sorry, what?
The polo 1.4 and 1.9 TDI and SDI
@@AbdullahAbdullah-hs9ki What do you mean?
This one is the 1.4 TDI and you can check the other Polo which is older but same engine :)
No is 1.9 tdi and sdi the 1.4 Tdi
These always sounded broken to me
No doubt, everybody thinks the same I guess😂👌🏻
cool engine but god it sounds bad, in comparison to the 1.25 duratec
Yes, the 1.4 TDI never sounded good😅
Sans paroles. 😅

Esse carro está muito mal tratado,tenho um ibiza 1.4 tdi 75hp 2003 com 105hp agora e não faz esse tremer todo nem barulho
Don't think so, it works and response so good and is in really good health
