Obdeleven is my preferred choice, cheaper,uses your existing phone via an app and Bluetooth dongle

Re: POLO 6R Barrel Binding

When holding the key in the open position, all power windows will go down. When holding in the close position they will go up. A fact little known by many owners As for the OP I think you need to remove the interior door panel and disconnect the rod from the barrel, then try the key again .this wil...

You need to get a code reader and do some further diagnostic work now you have eliminated the basics

Re: VW Polo 1.4 BKY engine cranks but won’t start

On this engine I’m pretty sure the camshafts and sprockets DO have a keyway, so as you previously stated someone else has ‘tried’ to do a water pump and failed,putting the timing out it’s best to remove the belt and pulleys to check seeing as you have crank -cam correlation faults present.

Re: Hand brake sticks on when lever is depressed

Does the car in question have drum brakes on the rear? This could be an indication of leaking wheel cylinders and contaminated brake shoes sticking to the drums,or just time for a brake inspection

Re: Washer jets are intermittent

Recheck all your fuses in the interior fuse box with a multi meter I suspect one is blown.

Re: Stop/Start

This was one of the first things I did to my car ,permanently disable the S/S via OBDeleven.It’s just not necessary in my view,if as said I’m in traffic for any significant time I turn it off manually
No more get in, seat belt on, start car, turn off S/S etc

Re: Composition Touch to ???

RCD 330 is the model you want,which looks like this so connections should be similar to your OEM unit, the RCD330 was originally designed for the Chinese and Russian markets

Re: car won't go into any gear

Most likely it’s a failed clutch or clutch slave cylinder ? But do update the forum with the cause of the problems

Re: Blower resistor?

This can be many things, a lack of air flow over the resistor due to a dirty pollen filter , a cheap copy resistor which is not up to the job , a fan motor with a high resistance which puts extra load on the resistor. In an ideal world you would replace the fan motor and the resistor together,this r...

Re: End of the line ?

As for final fling special edition GTI, I am hoping we could have something perhaps to match mini JCW, but I feel marketing and VW costs would keep things rather subdued. Polo GTI Clubsport with 220bhp, lsd differential and those black/red seats (as in Golf), we can dream So back to Polos, I am hop...
