1 The red I in the TDI lettering pointed to the 81-kW engine.
The availability of the engines was dependent on model, equipment and market.
Polo III (6N2, 1999-2001)
From October 1999 to October 2001:
more pronounced grille and clear glass headlights like the Bora
redesigned taillights
new, more modern dashboard from the Lupo compared to the 6N models
ESP now available as optional equipment.
Reinforcements in the body shell
Rear license plate offset in the rear bumper
Fully galvanized body with twelve-year warranty against rust
new polo lettering (like 9N / 9N3)
1.6-liter petrol engine with 55 kW (75 hp) from the Golf III replaced by equally powerful 1.4-16V petrol engine Golf IV and Lupo (in the Classic and Variant only from model year 2001)
Diesel engine program expanded by 1.4-liter three-cylinder TDI with pump-nozzle system and 55 kW (75 hp) from the Lupo
Again, there is again a GTI version of the Polo (recognizable by the honeycomb grill pattern), this time with 92 kW (125 hp) engine power. This version was no longer limited in production quantity. A special feature of the GTI model maintenance are the xenon headlamps with automatic headlamp levelling and headlamp washers, which were only available on the GTI .

VW Polo IV |
The VW Polo III (or Polo 3 ) is a passenger car from Volkswagen , which was manufactured as type 6N from September 1994 to October 2001 (from October 1999: 6N2 ) in Wolfsburg .
It has front-wheel drive and transversely mounted petrol engines from 33 kW (45 hp) to 92 kW (125 hp) and diesel engines from 42 kW (57 hp) to 81 kW (110 hp), with manual five-speed or 4-speed automatic transmission could be combined. It existed as a three- and for the first time as a five-door.
In November 1995, the "Classic" followed called notchback version , and from March 1997 the first time a combination variant with tradition designation Variant .
History
The third generation of the Polo (internally known as the Type 6N) was unveiled in September 1994 and was completely redeveloped. Early versions, however, had the engines of the Polo II. The Polo III was the first Polo, the five-door and three-door was available. It was built from 1994 to 1999. For this Polo, the Golf III and the Seat Ibiza II Volkswagen used a common part strategy. A variety of components and all suspension components were interchangeable among the three models. Although the dashboard and a number of mechanical components, including engines, were shared with the Ibiza, the Polo models were outwardly different. Initially, only three- and five-door models with rear door were available. In 1995, Volkswagen added the four-door sedan under the name "Polo Classic", "Sedan" or "Derby" and the five-door station wagon "Polo Wagon" or "Variant" added. They were internally referred to by VW as Type 6KV and shared body panels with the SEAT model.
The Polo was initially equipped with neither airbags nor belt force limiters . In Euro NCAP - Crash test it received in 1997 three out of five stars in the evaluation of occupant safety. The test of the improved model with driver and front passenger airbags and belt force limiters in 2000 gave a rating of four stars.
In the middle of 1997, the model series 6N1 was technically revised for the model year 1998, many smaller as well as larger changes were made. The main feature of this revision is the completely changed electrics (the old electrical system up to 1997 based on the Golf III platform , the new central electrics comes from the Lupo ) and the material changed, but externally almost identical, dashboard. You can distinguish them as follows:
The old version has two big round indicators in the middle: the speed on the left and the speed on the right. Underneath is a field for the single-row warning lights. Outside there are two small round indicators below: engine temperature on the left and fuel gauge on the right.The new version has a rectangular box in the middle for the multi-row warning lights. Above are two small round indicators, left for the engine temperature and right for the fuel gauge. Outside there are two large round displays, left for the speed and right for the speed. Furthermore, both the displays and the hands are illuminated by means of transillumination technology.
The easiest way to differentiate the exterior versions of the trunk lid.
