Hi

I have '97 Polo, 1.6 cl, AEE engine so i'm unsure if the same layout (although one would think it isn't far off). But my ignition coil blew out on me a few weeks ago. Easily enough replaced.

You need to take off the black plastic covering by the wipers, this gives you access to the nuts which are at the back. It can be a bit fiddly, think they were 10mm nuts. Shouldn;t take too long though.
In the dark (some street lighting) with little experience or knowledge it took me 20 mins to take off and replace the ignition coil.

Hope this is also the case for you.
