Re: How My VW Polo Saved My Life in a Serious Accident

Holy s**t.

Well good thing the Polo AW crash test from 2017, 2022 been rated 5 star in the Euro Ncap
50mph that's like 80km/h, that's dam fast to meet a tree. Well from the pictures it does look like the car absorbed alot of impact.

Hope you get well soon. Drive safe out there.

Re: anyone tried LED interior replacement lamps?

The trunk light and makeup light is pretty simple just place some plastic tool behind and pop it out gently.

Re: 2019 Polo with MFD problem

It shows your engine hood is open, probably not closed properly. Open the hood and close it.
