Hi all, this has kind of been covered I think in previous posts (https://uk-polos.net/viewtopic.php?t=70435), but in September 2021 I bought a 2014 Polo BlueGT with optional RNS 315 sat-nav (with Bluetooth and DAB, I believe) and a multifunction steering wheel. Am I right in understanding that the V...

12V socket problems

Hi there

Usual Polo 6N2 boot light microswitch problem…

Can anyone tell me whether both parts of the switch are needed to rectify, please?

VAGcat says that 6X0947569 is boot switch, and 1J6953230A is switch and wiring…

Cheers,
