Taking into account the age and quality of zinc treatment of this machine (under normal operating conditions), the first corrosion will begin in 9 years.

If the galvanized body is damaged, corrosion destroys zinc and not steel.

Types of processing

Over the years, the process itself has changed. The car is younger - will always be galvanized better! Galvanized types

The presence of zinc particles in the soil covering the body does not affect its protection and is used by the manufacturer for the word "galvanized" in advertising materials. ... Testing Test results of vehicles rolled off the assembly line with the same damage (cross) on the lower part of the front right door. The tests were carried out in the laboratory. Conditions in a hot salt spray chamber for 40 days correspond to 5 years of normal operation. Hot Dipped Galvanized Vehicle(layer thickness 12-15 microns)

Galvanized vehicle(layer thickness 5-10 microns)

Cold Galvanized Vehicle(layer thickness 10 microns)

Car with zinc metal

Vehicle without galvanizing

It's important to know- Over the years, manufacturers have improved the technology of galvanizing their cars. A younger car will always be better galvanized! - Coating thickness from 2 to 10 microns(micrometers) provides excellent protection against the occurrence and spread of corrosive attacks. - The rate of destruction of the active zinc layer, in the place of damage to the body, is from 1 to 6 microns per year... Zinc is more actively destroyed at elevated temperatures. - If the manufacturer has the term "galvanized" not added "full" this means that only the elements subject to impacts have been processed. - Pay more attention to the presence of the manufacturer's warranty on the body, rather than loud phrases about galvanizing from advertising. Additionally

In the list of problems that are predicted to buyers of budget cars by the ubiquitous experts who sit on Internet forums, corrosion is called one of the main ones. But what is the corrosion resistance of "state employees" not from someone's words, but in reality? Using an example, we have already tried to answer this question.

However, since one is not a warrior in the field, we attracted two budget VW Polo Sedan 2012 onwards to participate in the next examination of the corrosion state, carried out by the site together with the authorized center of anti-corrosion protection KROWN.

Both cars were bought new from an authorized dealer in Minsk, after the purchase, additional anti-corrosion treatment was not carried out, but this is all that has in common in their history. The operating mode of the Polo silver color is 90% short trips around the city from the owner's place of residence to his place of work and back. The mileage of the car at the time of the examination was 72 thousand km.

The black Polo was purchased for use as a service vehicle, and after the purchase it managed to drive more than 160 thousand km, of which 80% are highway operation.

Let's start with the silver Polo. It was not possible to detect corrosion in the engine compartment, on the outer surfaces of the bonnet and in its hidden cavities.

The same cannot be said about the trunk lid, but the local foci of rust found on the lower edge of the lid and in the hidden cavity cannot be called serious, although, of course, they cannot be discounted either.

We proceed to inspect the bottom. It is unlikely that the protection of its outer surface from corrosion with the help of painting alone can be considered sufficient for our operating conditions, but it is clear that so far the paint is coping with its task.

Rust only shows its presence on the suspension arms, muffler and mounting brackets.

But in the hidden cavities of the side members, as well as on the bottom, there is no corrosion. What we have is a wax-based anti-corrosion compound that is visible on the endoscope screen in the form of red streaks.

Finally, let's assess the condition of the lower edges of the doors in the silver Polo. Again, there is nothing to complain about, so we move on to checking his black brother.

What immediately caught my eye was the presence of many paint chips on the front of this car, which were not on the silver car. Obviously, these are the consequences of predominantly route operation. But the chips did not "bloom" with red spots. According to the driver of the black Polo, the car goes to a hand wash at least once a month, which may have influenced the situation.

However, on the trunk lid of the black Polo, we found the same foci of corrosion that were found on the silver car. In addition, there are a few dots of paint under the fuel filler flap that were not found in the first car we tested.

But, as in the silver Polo, we again did not find any crime in the hidden cavities of the hood, and also ...

… On the lower parts of doors and doorways.

We saw nothing new even after the bottom was inspected.

Again, among the victims were only mounting brackets, suspension arms, and a muffler.

And again, in the hidden cavities of the side members and thresholds on the endoscope screen, we saw nothing but smudges of the wax anti-corrosion coating.

Comments on the results of the check Alexey Mukhlaev, director of the authorized center of anti-corrosion protection KROWN:

Despite the difference in operating modes and mileage, both cars are very similar in condition. There is corrosion on the suspension, muffler, fuel line fasteners. No significant corrosion was found in the hidden cavities of thresholds, doors and side members.

On a car with a mileage of 160 thousand kilometers, "bugs" appeared under the fuel filler flap - the mileage affects. This is not the case in the second car with lower mileage.

In my opinion, the cars are quite well protected from corrosion and are in good condition for a 5-year-old car. But still, the process is gradually starting to develop. In the future, if nothing is done, the corrosion situation may worsen. If the owners of tested cars have a desire to keep them in this condition, it is worth considering additional processing.

"It will not rust behind us" - a joint project of the site and the Authorized Center for Anti-Corrosion Treatment KROWN... In our materials, we showcase the corrosive expertise of the most popular used cars. We are talking about the weak points of anti-corrosion treatment of machines that have just left the conveyor. We advise what you need to do to keep the body of your car from the red plague as much as possible.

Undoubtedly, one of the most popular budget cars in Russia, which can rightfully be called "popular", is the Polo sedan from the renowned German brand Volkswagen. For the domestic car market, the Polo Sedan was introduced in the spring of 2010, and after half a year, sales of the car entered an active phase.

The layout of the VW Polo Sedan assumes a choice of several gasoline engines with a working volume of 1.6 liters, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed hydromechanical automatic. In the suspension and chassis, a classic tandem for the economy segment is used, in the front there is a MacPherson strut, and in the back there is a traditional steel beam.

According to the manufacturer, the Volkswagen Polo Classic car, was specially designed for use in conditions and climates acceptable to the territory of the Russian Federation, but unfortunately this turned out to be far from the case, but just a publicity stunt ...

What are the disadvantages of the owners

- Weak insulation, in the winter season, the interior of the car instantly cools down.

- Low ground clearance, rear spring supports only 11 cm away from the ground.

- Stiff suspension with low travel.

- Not intelligible operation of the electronic pedal, which you need to get used to.

- Interior design of the "last century"

- Poor quality material for seats and door trim. Gets dirty quickly and easily, to 30 thousand run no longer looks like new, only covers can save.

- Cheap hard plastic dashboard, crickets may appear over time.

- Poor head lighting.

Polo Sedan is made for Russia or not.

As mentioned above, the manufacturer declares that this car was specially made for Russian conditions. Let's try to figure it out:

1. Suspension.

For a domestic motorist, there is nothing better than a soft or moderately elastic suspension, smoothing out all the "charms" and bumps in the road surface, as well as its absence. The benchmark in this category, many drivers consider the French budget car Renault Logan. Unfortunately, Polo cannot boast of similar comfort or reliability. His element is smooth highways and not large speed bumps made strictly in accordance with GOST.

2. Poor engine starts in winter.

This problem is more related to the 1.6-liter CFNA 105 hp engine, which was installed on the cars before the 2015 restyling. Its cylinder block was made of aluminum, the main difference from cast iron, which is quick cooling. Thus, during the day the car was idle in severe frost, the engine cooled down completely and could not start on the first attempt, or even remain in anticipation of a thaw.

3. Weak stove and thermal insulation.

At negative air temperatures, the car warms up relatively poorly in the cabin, in addition to this, it is only necessary to turn off the engine, as it immediately becomes cold in the cabin, which is not entirely acceptable for Russia.

Sores and weaknesses of the Volkswagen Polo

CFNA 105 hp engine volume of 1.6 liters.

The problem is very widespread and has long been known to the manufacturer. Increased wear and progressive knocking in the engine, at low mileage of 50-100 thousand km, are the main claims of the owners to the concern. According to many laboratories for the repair and operation of internal combustion engines, the reason lies in oil starvation skirts and the lower part of the pistons, which leads to seizure, followed by grinding down the diameter of the part.

As a result, the pistons receive an increased deflection from the vertical and create blows on the cylinder liners. It is equally important to note that cases of rapid failure of the cylinder-piston group are most often found among motorists who start the movement of the car without preliminary warming up the engine in winter.

Gearbox support

A knock and a metallic clang in the engine area may appear in a completely new car, already by a run of 15 thousand kilometers. The reason for this is the weak design of the gearbox support located in the area of the left side member. The resource of the original part, unfortunately, is not very large, analogues sometimes last longer.

Bushings and stabilizer struts

The problem in particular extends more to the parts of the front anti-roll bar. A fitting thump of struts and a creak of bushings, a typical illness of the Polo sedan.

Failure of the EUR

Malfunction of the unit, power steering system, a common malfunction on cars before the restyling period. A symptom of a malfunction is considered to be steering to the side, as well as unequal effort when turning the "steering wheel" to the right and left sides.

ABS sensors

A common problem with many budget cars, namely acidification of sensors anti blocking system. The permanently lit ABS warning indicator will remind the driver of the acidification of the contacts.

Power window unit

Common malfunctions, binding of contacts and failure of the glass drive, usually in the lowest position. Cases of burnout of the motor winding in the drive of the lifting mechanism are also considered not uncommon.

The classic and austere appearance of the Volkswagen Polo Sedan is designed to ensure the car's success among motorists of almost all age categories.

Body - size and color, disadvantages

Faceted headlights, a narrow slit in the false radiator grille, a front bumper with a pronounced lower edge - a spoiler, a "smile" of the lower air intake with round foglights around the edges. The bonnet with two characteristic ribs on the sides forms a broken transition to the neat fenders.

Profile Volkswagen Polo Sedan - with a compact hood, a high roof sloping to the stern and a lean trunk. The harmoniously enlarged wheel arches are stylishly complemented by the embossing of the upper and lower sidewalls. The rear of the car - with a large trunk lid, a simple bumper and spaced around the edges of the lamp shades.

In the production of the Polo sedan, double-sided galvanized metal and high-quality anti-corrosion treatment are used, which allows the manufacturer to provide a 12-year warranty on the body. The paintwork in German is durable and of high quality, according to the owner, after two Russian winters, the cars look exemplary (no chips, scuffs, minor scratches).

There are no ideal cars, and the body of a budget novelty from Volkswagen has its own constructive limitations... The most obvious problems of the Polo sedan:

- low-set rear spring supports,
- protruding parking brake cables (incorrectly laid under the bottom),
- lack of factory metal protection of the motor from below,
- small external side mirrors with low information content,
- unsuccessful design of the wiper leashes.

the real ground clearance for the Volkswagen Polo sedan is 12 cm

Otherwise, the owners do not have problems with the body, unless, of course, take into account such a disadvantage as very expensive body parts that require replacement in the event of an accident.
Let us recall the overall dimensions Volkswagen Polo sedan to our readers: 4384mm - length, 1699mm - width, 1465mm - height, 2552mm - base.
170mm - ground clearance ( clearance), when fully loaded, the distance between the body and the roadway is reduced to a scanty 120-130 mm.

Wheel and tire sizes: the manufacturer provides for the installation of rubber 175/70 R14, 185/60 R15 or 195/55 R15 on iron wheels R14 - R15 and light-alloy wheels R15. From the reviews of the owners, it was possible to find out that the Polo sedan can be fitted with disks with larger tires: 215 / 50R15, 215 / 45R16, 215 / 45R17.
There are seven options for the car. colors: Candy (White), Urano (Gray), Night Blue (Metallic Blue), Reflex (Metallic Silver), Silver Leaf (Metallic), Wild Cherry (Metallic Red) and Deep (Black Pearl).
Below are approximate prices on original spare parts and details: hood - 11,500 rubles, front or rear bumper (bare) - 8,000 rubles, front fender - 4,500 rubles, front headlight block - 2,700 rubles, rear light - 2,800 rubles.

Specifications

The Volkswagen Polo sedan is built on the PQ25 front-wheel drive platform from the 5th generation Polo hatchback, but with a wheelbase stretched by 82 mm. Independent front suspension on MacPherson struts, rear semi-independent - torsion beam. Front disc brakes, rear - archaic drum.

Engine petrol CFNA 1.6-liter giving out 105 "horses", manual transmission by default by 5 steps, optional automatic Tiptronic gearbox (with manual control mode). The dynamic and speed characteristics declared by the manufacturer for an engine with 5 manual transmissions (6 automatic transmissions) - acceleration to "hundreds" in 10.5 (12.1) seconds and "maximum speed" of 190 (187) km / h in real operating conditions are confirmed.
According to the owners' reviews, regardless of the type of box, the sedan can be accelerated to 193-202 km / h (who is what garazd). Fuel consumption"In life" also roughly corresponds to the plant's data: in the city 9-10 liters, on the highway 6.5-7.5 liters at a speed of 120 km / h. The experimental nature of driving allows us to assert that when driving at a constant speed of 90-95 km / h Polo sedan is content with only 5 liters of gasoline.

Driving characteristics and test drive

The car perfectly obeys the steering wheel, keeps a straight line and enters corners, the suspension is moderately stiff and energy-intensive. The chassis is tuned with the optimal balance for comfortable driving on bumpy roads and high-speed traffic on highways with good coverage.
In our opinion (coincides with the opinion of most car owners) the suspension of the Polo sedan is the best among the competitors in the compact sedan segment.
There are simply no shortcomings in the operation of the chassis, engine and gearboxes, the car uses units and assemblies that have been proven by time on other models of Volkswagen AG.
The biggest problem, according to the owners, is poor-quality maintenance at the branded service (low qualification of personnel) and Kama tires, which do not stand up to criticism.
German cars (and genetically the Polo sedan is a real "German") are designed for high-quality service and branded materials, this also applies to consumables (oil, filters, brake pads, bearings, shock absorbers and other parts). Regarding which engine oil to choose for the Polo sedan engine, “synthetic” 5W-30, corresponding to the classification VW 504 00/507 00, is suitable.

Add a review ↓

I have been riding a Volkswagen Polo since 2014 (now it's 2018). Mileage 100,000 km - I am satisfied, if maintenance is carried out on time, there will be no problems. Volkswagen Polo Sedan is a workhorse.

In fact, Kalina 2 rules. All these Solaris, Vestas, Polos and Rapids suck. Lada Kalina is a reliable and affordable car for its time. The rest are either pouring or costing horse money. Well, there's nothing else Lada Granta, but in the city a sedan is like a cow-drawn carriage.

All health. I've been driving on the floor for 3 years, there are a lot of jambs ... I changed the deflectors three times (roads ... no, we call it directions), we also went over the steering rack (replacing the plastic bushing with a polyurethane one), stabilizer struts 2 times, stabilizer bushings 2 times, engine and gearbox mountings in a circle! A pump for 30 thousand km of run (leaked), front pads (well, that's me already). I am silent about the light bulbs, I have installed the LEDs, but it is beautiful, but please change 1-2 a year. In winter, the drums were often wedged, this is a disease, or the handbrake should not be used at all! Now we need to change the bushings of the subframe, and some more rubber bands. The engine eats oil with novya, enough to replace! Doors crunch, or rather velvet on them, than just smeared, I'm already used to it! Shumka sucks, headlights sweat and flies in them after a year of operation! LKP - full x # rnya, chips immediately from the slightest hit of stones! In winter, the racks knock, this is their disease!

I have owned Polik since 2014, there are problems: at the second and third maintenance under warranty, one stabilizer post was changed, two times broke the radiator frame, the replacement was 8,000 rubles. Therefore, I do not advise you to leave the road, the steering rack knocked at 80,000 km, the officials offered to change it for 70,000 rubles !!! In another service, they did it for 10,000 rubles with a collapse, they said that there was water in the steering wheel and the rods were rusted, they also changed the racks that leaked. At 85000, the check caught fire and went out while I drive to MOT. Everyone knows about the engine knocking, I can't say anything about the oil, since the oil on the dipstick is always above the level. The officials say that this is normal, since the level on the Polo is measured with the engine warmed up to 60 degrees. It has also long been known from the paint that it sucks, galvanizing saves, in the first year chips appeared on the road, it has been two winters already and there is no hint of rust. If we compare the great three (Polo, Solaris, Rio, Logan we do not take, he is for those who are over ...), then Polo is a pretty good car, the only thing that scares is the reviews on the engine. I have met people who have already rolled back 200-300 thousand km. and everything is OK, as well as those who have already 50-100 thousand km. the motor is bent.
P.S. Enrages electronic gas, brakes with a terrible delay in reaction up to 3 seconds, when cornering you have to podgazovat so as not to stupid. Good luck to all.

I've been driving for the second month, while everything is fine!))) In the 90s, I traveled a little on Golf - it's day and night ...

The Polo sedan car is generally decent, but more expensive than it should be. A completely sloppy radio tape recorder - there are no high ..., weak sound insulation from noise from the street, in the city, when driving in traffic jams, the motor with an automatic machine eats gasoline, like a dinosaur - 12-15 liters of the 95th, because on the highway there is just a hare - 6.7 liters. In general, I would still work with this machine. In management and suspension everything is on a solid "five".

The mileage of my 2012 Polo sedan is 120,000 thousand km. Of all the faults, only the replacement of the pump for 70,000 km. They say on the cars produced from 2010 to 2011 there is a problem in the form of a thermal gap in the piston, because of this, and a knock on a cold engine.

What are the solutions to such a problem as engine knocking? who has experience in communicating on this issue with TO and experience in solving, share.

There was a knock in the engine during a cold start.

At the expense of fuses: look on the Internet for a diagram with the location of the fuses on which everything will be detailed ... to calculate the number of the fuse, look under the steering wheel!

There was a knock in the engine of the Volkswagen Polo sedan - during a cold start.

There was a knock when starting the engine in winter.

Hello! The car was bought in November 2014, the mileage is less than 1000 km - the pistons knock when starting in the frosty morning -2-5, while the knocking is 2-3 seconds, for now!

In winter, front glass sprayers instantly freeze (I don't know what they are called correctly). The non-freeze is flooded, everything is in order, but they freeze tightly and very quickly.
As for the rubber of the Kama, it is really frankly not very good even in summer. Oddly enough, summer Kama in winter feels quite confident even on a very bad road. This does not mean that you do not need to install a winter one, but in case of some emergency it can help out. The rest of the car pleases, there are no complaints. I advise you from the bottom of my heart.

My Polo was bought in March 2011. The front seat frames, the trunk lock and the steering tips were changed for the action (the mileage was 34,000 km). Now the mileage is 72,500. There are no questions about the automatic transmission (recoded to AUDI TT), headlights from a hech (light is the dream of every housewife), a multi-wheel from Tiguan. Since the rear beam from 4 golf courses also put its disc brakes (the price of the issue with original spare parts is 13,000 rubles), tidy with Polo GT (everything is displayed on the onboard: coolant temperature, navigator, then everything on the radio, free space in the fuel tank , engine oil temperature, etc.). Pour oil WV mixed plus (its generic). The price of all alterations, somewhere around 60,000-70000 rubles on the originals. I fell in love with the car again, the only negative after re-coding the automatic transmission the consumption increased slightly by 0.7-0.9 liters, but the dynamics of acceleration and the operation of the box (there is no thoughtfulness when switching) is just a bomb.

There was a knock when starting the engine resembling a knock of a valve. When the engine warms up, disappears. Tell me, what could it be.

Tell me, I can’t find the fuse for the license plate light bulbs, but it’s not written on the safety cover.

Hello. My Volkswagen Polo sedan was 2 years old on September 19th. I bought it in Surgut, in the salon, seven hundred kilometers from the house. The nearest official service is in Noyabrsk, five hundred from home. High grade, on the machine, maximum grade plus revision: Webasto, autostart and music. To date, 91,500 mileage. At 75 thousand km, I changed the front rods of the transverse stabilizer and the ball ones (the anthers broke). All two years it was operated in the conditions of the far north, lived under a window, -50 degrees Celsius did not stop, after -20 the bushings of the front stabilizer begin to creak, they become silent due to the heat. The tensioner pulley is now whistling at startup. I fill in oil with Castrol Long Life 5W30 both in winter and in summer. I'm happy with the car - it's a sin to complain, if you figure it out, I haven't changed anything except the oil, I also forgot the fog lights and dimensions - once a year. Well, in order not to bend my soul, I only turned to the service to straighten the disks and correct the convergence, since our roads leave much to be desired on the way from Nura to Yuguru. This summer I changed the set of summer wheels, next summer I think I will have to change the racks (the climate is harsh, they start to cry). This is a brief overview of the operation, and draw your own conclusions!

Good day everyone. How many I looked on the forums, I can not find information about how much oil the Volkswagen Polo engine is eating, what is the quality of the paintwork, etc. Can you please tell me, I own a Polo Sedan Sochi edishenal, 8 months - the car stood in a warm parking lot in winter in cold weather, washed the car 4 times with a manual and contactless wash, the car is scratched well, it's not real, I go to work, home and to the store the question did not arise, that I go anywhere, is it normal for polo? The second question, the car is 8 months old, the oil is just below the middle on the dipstick, drove 12 thousand km, so it should be? And the fact that antifreeze is already at a minimum is probably not normal, given that I took the car from scratch! Thank you so much for the info, where you can find something about this or who will tell you something about these questions.

Good afternoon! I want to leave a review about the service station in Cheboksary, where I served the Volkswagen Polo sedan. At 12000 knock on the right side on irregularities, when contacting the Ferdinand Motors service station in Cheboksary, nothing was found. Only after the third call it was revealed that it was necessary to change the rack and pinion mechanism. It was not available and I was sent back home 200 km from the service station. Two days later, on the call, I went again, changed the rail - the knocking stopped. With a mileage of 27,000 km when the engine was started, vibration on the body - at the service station, the manager announced to me that the warranty had run out, although the purchase was made on May 5, 2012, and I contacted in March 2014. When contacting the service station, the manager explained that the Volkswagen Moscow salon was to blame for everything, where the car was purchased. After long conversations, the manager still realized that he was wrong and after that they changed the support under the gearbox - the vibration stopped. I traveled three times, spending so much nerves and money until it all came to people. I was not very happy with the service provided by this company.

And yet you have not covered one question ... the weak point is the throttle body !!! at its cost of 17000. and during the period of operation, many owners have already encountered this. including me after 22 thousand run.
