Re: oil warning light and beeper

I did just what you told me ciclo and removed the oil filter, sure enough the small inner gasket from the previous filter was still inside. I removed it and installed the filter again....problem gone.

Well done and THANKS! :D

oil warning light and beeper

Hi, I would like to ask a lubricating oil related question please.
The car is a Polo 1.2 TSI, has approximately 14,000 km and is just over three years old. The oil/filter changes were always done at the specified interval by the VW dealer. No excessive oil consumption and car has been flawless so ...

Re: 3.5mm aux in socket to connect usb

No I do not have any sockets for connecting anything in the glove box, my model is a 2011 TSI Comfortline.
Perhaps a new radio or an i-player would be the best option then.

Thanks for the replies. :)

3.5mm aux in socket to connect usb

Hi
is it possible to get a lead that will allow me to connect a usb memory stick to the 3.5mm auxiliary in socket near the cigarette lighter and play music on the car's radio (RCD310)?

Any pointers as to where I can get one from will be appreciated.
All I found at the usual site is one to connect ...

Re: Temperature gauge

Thanks.
I am in Malta and if it comes to it I will probably have to do it myself.

The replacement of the cluster will probably entail the removal of most of the dashboard and steering wheel, not to mention electrical issues.

I have stripped components from cars before and I am not new to these ...

Re: Temperature gauge

Thanks.
Is the GT cluster a plug and play job or does the existing TSI wire harness have to be changed/altered as well?
Will the vehicle's computer adjust itself to the new instrument cluster or will it have to be programmed/changed?
Is the cluster hard to remove?
Thanks for your input :)

Temperature gauge

Hi,
I was thinking about temperature gauges because I miss having such an important piece of equipment on my car.
I like to keep an eye on what's happening under the bonnet :)

I really like the GTI dashboard with the boost and temp gauge, but changing my car is not an option :(

So I was ...

Re: Hello to all and question about turbo please,

Hi, thanks for your replies.
I am in Malta and as far as I know, my car was built in South Africa. It is a year and a half old now and have no issues with it.
It shares the garage with my other 19year old Polo Fox Coupe which is still in daily use and going strong..... well at least as 45bhp would ...

Hello to all and question about turbo please,

Hi,
my first post here. :)
I have been having a look around for a while and it seems to be the right place where I can ask a Polo related question.

I have a November 2011 Polo 1.2tsi model and about 4 months ago I was asked to take it in for a part (a shim I think) in the turbo wastegate to be ...
