To replace the starter motor on the Volkswagen Polo, open the bonnet to access the components in the engine bay. Here, you will locate the intake duct, air filter, and battery on the right side. All these components must be removed by loosening their screws to access the underlying parts.

At this point, the starter motor can be freed by loosening its screws and disconnecting its connectors. You can then insert the new replacement part, ensuring it functions correctly.
