About the 1.2 TSI CJZ

Polo 1.2 TSI

I'm thinking of a 1.2 TSI Polo as my first car, the car is at 180k km, is there anything I should pay attention to? After buying it I'll have the timing belt and water pump service done.

Also replace the spark plugs with original ones. The service recommends changing them every 60k km or 4 years. In addition, get the brake fluid's moisture content checked and replace it if needed. I ran mine for 50k km and was generally happy. If you get a trim with automatic climate control, make sure the AC blows from all positions - the flaps can go bad.

The intake manifolds build up a lot of carbon, I'd recommend getting them cleaned when you buy it. Other than that, it's a car you can buy without worrying about displacement and use long-term. It's even suitable for a setup and puts out good power. We've got about 80,000 km of experience with it - very enjoyable in terms of fuel economy and performance.
