6R / 6C Door

Is there any difference between the 6R and 6C door? I know the 6C facelift has different bumpers, but could you fit a 6C door on a 6R?

Re: Removing Black Box

My step daughter's car had a black box which was attached to the top of the battery. When she switched insurers they said they don't remove them as they are effectively disposable. It remains on there to the current day. And I believe continues to record the driving standards!! Still come the new E...

Removing Black Box

At the end of the month I am swapping insurers, with my current insurer I have a telematics device installed which they offer to remove for £85 (how kind of them, right?!) Obviously, I do not want to pay my insurer an extra £85 to remove my black box. Does anyone know where exactly this device would...

Re: Installing Remote Locking

I also have a 2011 polo 6r and am thinking of doing the same with an Rclick kit or the one from ebay. I would be grateful if you posted instructions on this thread so I can refer back to it! kit off eBay has just arrived, the remote seems to be high quality, and looks nice too. Looks a bit like a c...

Installing Remote Locking

Hi, I have a 2012 VW Polo 6R, and it comes with central locking via key, but just not remote locking. I have bought a kit from eBay that I am looking to install, but from spending a couple hours reading forums, everybody seems to say something different about this car. From what I can understand, I ...

Timing Chain

Just brought my car back from the garage, with a fairly hefty repair bill of just over £1000. Long story short, my car had a new key coded at the VW dealership, and as I drove it away, the Engine MGMT light and also ABS warning light came on. I was told by volkswagen this is likely a coding error th...

Warning Lights after key coding

Hi, this morning I took my Polo in for key coding (getting a key replaced), and they also cleaned the car free of charge. As I drove away, the Engine Management / Emissions Control warning light came up, so I immediately drove back, and they took it back in as they acknowledged that this shouldn't h...
