The badge alone is not enough: in this generation, the same engine designation came in different power outputs, each with its own calibration. Check the power output in your registration document and find the matching row.

What makes the Volkswagen Polo V special
Polo 5 tuning: the name 1.2 TSI covers two engines
Two different engines hide behind the name 1.2 TSI on the Polo V. Until March 2014 the Polo 6R had the EA111, with 105 hp and, from January 2011, also with 90 hp. The facelift 6C, built from April 2014, has the EA211 with 90 and 110 hp, and the 110 hp engine has the code CJZD.
So for VW Polo V tuning with a tuning box the year and the engine code tell the two apart. In the catalogue the 105 hp EA111 and the 110 hp EA211 appear separately, both with the GAN GT.
GTI, diesels and small petrol engines
For Polo GTI tuning, note that the facelift changed the engine: from 2014 the 1.4 TSI Twincharger with 179 hp gave way to the 1.8 TSI with 192 hp. The Twincharger and the 1.8 TSI of the GTI with 192 hp both work with the GAN GT. The diesels changed family in 2014. The EA189 1.2 TDI with 75 hp and 1.6 TDI with 75, 90 and 105 hp gave way to the EA288 1.4 TDI with 75, 90 and 105 hp.
The 1.2 TDI with 75 hp, the 1.6 TDI with 75 and 90 hp and the 1.4 TDI with 75, 90 and 105 hp all use the GAN GT. The 1.0 MPI with 60 and 75 hp and the 1.2 MPI with 60 and 70 hp are matched to the GAN GA+.

Volkswagen Polo V chip tuning: questions
How much more power does VW Polo chip tuning give a 1.2 TSI with 105 hp?
With the GAN GT the 1.2 TSI with 105 hp and 175 Nm reaches 125 hp and 228 Nm. The GAN GT line is rated at up to 30% more power; these are the stated gains for this engine type, not a dyno reading of your car.
Does the module affect the DSG gearbox of a Polo GTI?
The 7-speed DSG of the Polo is the dry-clutch DQ200, rated at 250 Nm. The 1.8 GTI makes 320 Nm with the manual gearbox and 250 Nm with the DSG, so its engine is already limited to suit the gearbox. The module does not reprogram the gearbox.
Is chiptuning a Polo 1.6 TDI still possible after the emissions software update?
The EA189 diesels of the Polo V, the 1.2 and 1.6 TDI built from 2009 to 2014, fell under the recall and its software update. The module changes neither the ECU software nor the recall update.
Is a tuning module the same as a Stage 1 tune?
Not quite. Stage 1 usually means an ECU remap without replacing any parts. The tuning module also works without replacing parts, but it does not change the ECU software: it adjusts the sensor signals, comes off in about a minute, and the OFF button in the app restores the factory settings.
