    Polo GTI hub and Hub Carrier

    I can't find anywhere, except new at VW Australia's ridiculous mark up.

    Anyone got any ideas?

      Canberra VW Center has a wrecked Polo GTI out the back. Give them a call.

              How different are the hub and carrier to those of the MkIV Golf with the 280mm rotors?

                Completely as far as I am aware.

                  Odd that they didn't raid the parts bin (their usual practice) but tooled up specifically for a minor model variant.

                    They most likely did raid the parts bin of the lower model mk4 golfs that share a similar design

                      I should have said 288mm rotors.

                      Does anyone know if the front hubs and carriers from MkIV Golfs with 288mm brakes are the same as those used on the 9N3 GTi?

                        The polo 9N uses Generation 2 hub bearings and reqs special tools to fit, the hub and bearing come together as one unit., local VW dealer didnt even have it, they borrow it from HQ in Sydney, so i made one to do the job, the tool price is through the roof, if i see more then ill buy the tool but till then ill use what i have. Hub carrier , crazy , would have done no harm keeping the old set up but well not much we can do there. Hub carrier is very similar to the Mk4 , havent tried , havent had to . Hmm

                          So would this kit for the MkIV Golf work for a Polo?

                            As mentioned never have had the need to fit one, ive done replcement Gen 2 bearings. before saying yes to that one would need to try it with some old bits, but like i say never had to do it, they "look " similar .

                              Thanks Jimmy. I guess it's safest to watch for another wrecked GTI.
