My VW polo car got electric “clicking noise” when step on accelerator. It happened since last year. The noise get louder when the engine was hot. Diagnosed – No error codes. Other symptoms were lost of power, unstable RPM, rough idling and shift to wrong gear when driving especially in hill road.
After troubleshooting all the possible causes, suspected the ignition transformer possibly causing the issue (I am pretty sure). So ordered the ignition transformer which cost just little over RM1k.
Took out the old one and found one of terminals was crack.

Replaced with the new one and so far no more clicking noise.
It is kinda annoying when you drive over the speed bump! The squeaking sound get worse when it is wet. Tried to locate what is the possible caused by spraying WD40 to all the bushings. Finally I found out the anti roll bar bushing that were causing the squeaking noise.

Outer side of bushing
You can see the inner sides of bushing still ok only the outer were worn out.

My VW Polo 1.2 TSI headliner fabric starts to fall off – lifespan exactly 5 years?? This must be due to humid and warm weather in Malaysia???

Repair cost = 500RM (exclude the labour cost of removal and installation of headliner)
