We have a single din radio setup with the empty box underneath, like in this pic: https://i.imgur.com/bHCUpXw.jpg The door stor...

9n airbag light on. Suggestions?

Hi all, My airbag light is permanently on :( When I took the instrument panel out to fix a connection issue, I spotted a piece of black electrical tape over the light (cheeky).

Re: Time and Trip resetting once engine is off

I thought I would help someone else as I found the culprit. It was not a fuse or a battery problem. The instrument panel, once unscrewed from behind the leather cover on the top of the steering wheel, has 2 cable connections.

Hi everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle...could I pick your brains, please? (5 door, 1.4 2002 Polo) My dashboard instruments (Time, Trip, RPM hand, Temp Hand) seem to have some sort of an issue.
