Re: Tyre sizes

I've got 50s all round on mine I had some left over from my MX-5, and they're fine. It should have 55s on officially. It's not right but I think would only be a problem if you had different sizes on the same axle.

Re: Polo 9N water ingress spare tyre we'll and back seats

Old thread but yes, knackered seals on the rear lights will soak the back seats and fill the spare tyre well. Replaced my rear light (it was the clip rather than that seal at fault) and water ingress problem stopped immediately.

Re: VW Polo 9N 2003 boot tonneau cover

The previous owner of my Polo had the same thing break on both sides, so fixed the problem by putting in some wood screws. Works...

Re: Select reverse … more airflow to foot well … a mystery.

I wondered this to - thanks for the explanation. Makes sense. :)

Re: Rear Lights - Half Illuminated On One Side

Apologies if this seems like resurrecting an old thread, but it was Christmas and then I broke my elbow and typing wasn't really an easy thing for a couple of weeks so... An update. The new light unit arrived (with clips!) and, pre-elbow injury, I fitted it, drained the spare wheel well of several g...

Re: Rear Lights - Half Illuminated On One Side

Thanks for all you replies. :) I've ordered a new unit, £20 from eBay with bulbs! That small gasket you talk of is there, but one of the fixing screws/clips is broken. That's where the water was getting in really badly, so I've had to create a gaffer tape channel to try and redirect the water! It's ...

Re: Rear Lights - Half Illuminated On One Side

Thank you. You've confirmed my thoughts that I really need to get a new unit - the boot is wet again and that's where it's coming in. Just have to make sure that the top clip comes with the replacement unit... As for the bulb, following your message I did some digging online and found this. There ar...

Rear Lights - Half Illuminated On One Side

Hello, I've noticed that with my rear lights the driver's side is a fully illuminated circle, but on the passenger side only a semi-circle is illuminated. Looking at diagrams, and having taken the unit off to stop a leak (the clip on the unit is broken - thank you gaffer tape!), I think there's only...

9N Aftermarket Stereo Forgetting Settings - Wiring Changes?

I've fitted an aftermarket stereo to my 2004 Polo. The original leads from the car fit into the back of the stereo and all is working well, but as soon as I take my keys out of the ignition power stops going to the stereo and all settings are lost. Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere, I hav...
