Compatibility & Fitment — Polo 9N Starter (Manual/Auto)

Fits Volkswagen Polo 9N (pre-facelift 2002–2005; some 9N3 carryover) with 1.4 16V and 1.6 petrol—verify by VIN/engine code. Variants can differ by gearbox (manual vs automatic), kW rating (≈1.1–1.7 kW), pinion tooth count, mounting ear pattern, and solenoid clocking. Therefore, send your VIN, engine/gearbox codes, any OE number, and a photo of your starter’s rear plug and mounting ears so we match the exact unit.
