UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

My apologies for the belated reply folks, I was running out of time as I had a large trip coming up in my polo and I wanted a spare tyre. I opted to buy the space saver steel wheel, which as I mentioned, was definitely a full size rim and tyre and not a narrow space saver, despite this it actually f...

Evening Chaps, I am looking to finally get myself a spare wheel as it has been a long time coming. I am looking at the standard wheel I have... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/233987744572 Or the 'space saver' or what just looks to be a standard steel rim as it is full size... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/...

What is it you use?

Well that's a helpful start, buying some LHD ones would not be handy haha. So what is next? I see several mentions of bcm codes and such, as I said I have an OBD II reader but it's a bluetooth dongle that connects to my phone or laptop, so really it's about getting the right software, are you able t...

I was just looking at getting some used ones on ebay as there is plenty available.

I don't think so, all it does is connect to my phone or laptop via bluetooth.
Do you have a link for something that I could use? I am not out to spend megabucks lol.

I have an OBD II (eleven as you call it), it is a simple bluetooth one that connects to my phone, unless you know of a specific app on the phone or software on my laptop for doing this.

So what will I need to alter the coding?

I have a bluetooth OBD II reader and some phone apps, would that suffice?

Feel free to baby step me through it, if you don't mind.

Cars aren't my thing, motorcycles though? that's my jam! lol

Hi, if you are in the same situation, please post the VCDS Autoscan to tell you that you have to modify once you install the H4 LED bulbs. Please first read the regulations on the use of LED bulbs in reflector headlights. I would quite like to try and convert to the 6C headlight's as opposed to LED...

Hi Sbozzy, welcome. Please post an Autoscan, or BCM coding. Thanks. Easy for your 6R Bluemotion : 1- Buy the 6C H7 headlights. 2- Install them. 3- New BCM coding. 4- Level/correct the light beam patterns with a suitable regloscope. Hi, I am in the same position as Sbozzy, although I was looking at ...

Have any of these LED headlight bulbs managed to get approval for use on public roads yet, I didn't think that they had? Not when fitted into reflectors designed for a halogen, different beam spread, however I have done this for years on 2 wheels...the beam spread is fine for me and if it becomes a...

Morning Folks, I am looking to upgrade my polo's bulbs, basically all that I can, headlight, side light, inside light....the lot of them to LED, however I am really struggling to find anything that definitely fits my polo, especially the headlight. I did have 2 different LED H4 bulbs from my motorcy...

Sounds like the DPF is doing a regen. Try giving the car a run for about 15-20 minutes at over 2000rpm with the engine hot. Also, I've had the software on my son's 1.2TDI rolled back and it drives far better now than before and doesn't regen as often either. I have ran my car with an OBD plugged in...
