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.
