How to replace a wheel of a Volkswagen Polo?

Model: Volkswagen Polo Polo 4, 9N, Polo IV, MK IV, MK 4 - Years 2001-2009
Part: Wheel

To replace a wheel of a Volkswagen Polo, start by making sure to park the car on a flat surface and applying the parking brake. Use the jack provided with the car to safely lift the affected part of the car. Find the designated lifting point near the wheel you want to replace and position the jack underneath it. Turn the jack handle counterclockwise to slowly lift the car until the wheel is off the ground. Once lifted, unscrew the wheel bolts using a cross wrench or a socket wrench, making sure to keep the bolts in a safe place. Remove the wheel and replace it with the spare wheel or the reserve wheel. Make sure the new wheel is properly aligned with the hub studs and then hand tighten the wheel bolts. Once the bolts are hand tightened, use the wrench to further tighten them in a crisscross pattern to ensure even fastening. Lower the jack slowly until the car touches the ground, then remove the jack completely, and the replacement is complete.

Installation of Upgraded Intercooler Radiator with Pipes

Lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands, remove the front wheels, and then the front bumper and grille. Proceed to remove the front headlights; drain the coolant, remove the intercooler radiator and the hoses connecting it to the intake system. Position the new intercooler radiator in the grille, temporarily securing it with cable ties, and mark with a marker the part of the metal that needs to be removed to allow the new hoses to pass through. Cut the marked portion of metal and apply a gasket to the edge. Remove the inner cover of the bumper and position it near the radiator to identify any interfering parts to eliminate: again, apply a gasket to the edge of the cut. Create brackets for securing the new radiator and proceed with the installation of the connecting pipes from the radiator to the intake, shaping and connecting them appropriately. Finally, reassemble the bumper, headlights, and grille.
