Factory OEM Applications (Where CLS Is a Genuine Factory Engine Code)

This engine is intended for vehicles that originally left the factory with engine code CLS. True OEM fitment depends on the vehicle’s VIN, engine code, ECU generation, and wiring/harness configuration.

OEM Factory Fitment:

• Volkswagen Polo Vivo 1.6 models that came factory-fitted with CLS (hatchback and sedan variants where applicable)

Important OEM Fitment Note:
If your current engine code is not CLS, the installation may not be OEM plug-and-play and can require changes to the ECU, wiring, sensors, or ancillaries. For a correct match, confirm the engine code on your current block and verify using your VIN.
