Re: Horn works only with key in ignition? 2014 1.2TSI
In my Polo6R horn works only with ignition ON. In my T-roc, horn works at any ignition. I prefer the way it horns in my 6R.. may be it's just me. Just to give an example, I have lost count of occasions when I accidentally pressed the horn in my T-roc. Be it while cleaning the steering wheel, or whi...

Re: Aftermarket shift knob...
Why complicate the things? clean the rod, put few turns of cloth tape to prevent the zip tie from sliding. remove the plastic clip in for the gaiter that goes into the oem knob. If you want it fancy you could make a groove in the rod for the zip tie using a dremel. Or cut threads into the new shift ...

Re: Windscreen wipers slow, then stopped working.
Hi, I had a similar issue on my 6r. Wiper were to slow. You greasing the linkage joints wont help. You need to disassemble it, and where the spindle ( part that has thread to attach the wiper arm) you will have to remove the c-clips, and push it out. There is a bronze bushing and it gets rusted. I'd...

Looking through the Elsa, th...

Re: Oil Filter removal
So I acquired a tool which is basically like a spanner end with a square drive for the ratchet. Still cannot get the ratchet bar straight down or anywhere near straight so put on the swivel joint and managed to get some purchase on it. Didn't budge but did crack around the base of the hex on the to...

Re: Replacing front window seals
Hi, A few months ago, the battery drained on my Polo 6R and was dead, I also found out that the key did not work in the door as it had been replaced by a previous owner. Because of this, i tried to open the door with one of those inflation bags to reach in with a wire and open the handle (i know it...
