Used Volkswagen Polo alternators — price guide
VW Polo alternators are normally a 140,000-mile item but the 1.4 TDI and 1.6 TDI cars often go earlier — and a new Bosch unit through VW costs £340–£520 plus fitting. A used Polo alternator from a UK Volkswagen breaker yard runs £65–£220 depending on the engine and chassis generation (6R 2009–14, 6C 2014–17, AW 2017 on). Send your registration and the network filters to yards holding the correct unit for your engine code — most include a 30-day mechanical warranty and ship next-day on a tracked courier.
Compatible Volkswagen Polo variants (2009–present (6R, 6C, AW))
- Volkswagen Polo 1.0 / 1.2 / 1.4 TSI (6R, 6C, AW)

TDI cars use a clutched pulley — replace at the same time on cars over 100,000 miles. The MQB-A0 AW platform (2017 on) shares its alternator with the SEAT Ibiza and Skoda Fabia of the same era.
FAQs about used Volkswagen Polo alternators
How much should I pay for a used Volkswagen Polo alternator?
Most Volkswagen Polo alternators sell for £65–£220 from a UK breaker yard, versus £350+ from a main dealer. Price depends on year, trim and whether the part is colour-matched or pre-painted.
Will a Volkswagen Polo alternator from a different year fit my car?
Fitment usually splits along chassis-code lines (2009–present (6R, 6C, AW)). Send your registration below — the system matches your VIN to yards holding the correct unit for your chassis and engine code, so you don't end up with a part that bolts in but doesn't work correctly.
Is there a warranty on a used Volkswagen Polo alternator?
Every verified yard in the network offers a minimum 30-day mechanical warranty on functional parts. Body items (mirrors, lights, panels) are sold as-described with photo evidence before you pay.
How fast can I get a used Volkswagen Polo alternator delivered?
Most quotes land within a few hours and parts ship the same or next working day. UK delivery on a tracked courier is typically 24–72 hours; nearest-yard collection is usually available within a 30-mile radius.
