Re: 2016 polo 1.4 tdi Non-start
I'd recommend Always using a new injector tie down bolts. They are stretch bolts. and thin they like to break when re-used.

Re: 6r 5 door petrol boot won't open
Hi
Having the same issue. I'd just like to comfirm something.
When testing for continuity on the emblem/handle this should beep on my multimeter indicating continuity, I don't need to open the handle whilst testing(current should still pass)?
I'm finding neither the original part or the second ...

Re: 2011 6R 1.2 TDI - noisy gearbox
Fitting an used gearbox is cheaper and faster than replacing your.
Gearboxes are easy to source and they are not that expensive.
You have to use gear oil that fits the correct specification, once you fill the oil wheels need to be rotated ( this will make oil go inside the diff, need to put ...

Re: Car suddenly having trouble engaging gears

Its under the battery. Try adjusting the cable shifters

Re: Polo 6C: wire harness damaged (boot)
Its easy to remove the black plastic part from the trunk.
Use a flat head and insert in the slot.
Then you need to unconnect the harness from the black plastic part and from the defroster line tab
But the connector can grip the strip pretty hard on the flat defroster wire. use a screwdriver to ...

Re: How do I get the ignition key lock off?
you pull the part that is in the instrument cluster towards your self. Its just clipped in.
Then you will see torx bolts near the slip ring viewed from top ( birds eye persoective), and on the bottom trim underside there is an torx bolt

Re: Polo 6C: wire harness damaged (boot)
yes, disassemble trim pieces. You dont need to fully remove it. unbolt it+ Unclip so it can tilt and give you access.
And yes use electricians wire and tape it to the harness, but again guide the harness with your hand near the window defrosters. there are internal metal pieces and the connectors ...

Re: Polo 6C: wire harness damaged (boot)
If you decide to swap the harness, be careful when pulling it out. Guide the connectors with your hand when you start pulling, because they can get stuck, and then it's a pain to get it to move.
Like this happened to me on the second occasion...

Re: Polo 6C: wire harness damaged (boot)
depends on how often you open your trunk and if the wires are brittle.
mine were brittle, i replaced the whole harness in the end

Re: Adding "trip button" on wipers control
you will need to run few wires to your instrument cluster,
and you will have to code the function using vcds, or something similar
