Re: Head unit replacement
if it's a 6c spec polo you will have the newer infotainment setup (discovery media) which is a lot different to the older 6r units the brains of everything is in the glovebox. this can be changed fairly easily but will require Component protection to be removed and all the FeCs to be re-enabled to ...

Re: LED Reversing light
I'll dig out what I fitted to mine shortly but in the meantime, I have to say that it made bugger-all difference. The one I fitted is much brighter to look at but the lens is so small I don't think it would matter what you put in there. Plus of course the real issue is the cheapskates only fitting ...

Type in your reg plate and it'll give you all the available options.
I've installed H21W Twenty20 Elegance Canbus LED, which works perfectly and is a bright white.

LED Reversing light
Can someone please recommend an led replacement on a 2014 6C for the reversing light bulb? Something that is really bright, the oem one is quite dim I find.
Thanks
Thanks

Re: Belt or chain?
Thanks for the responses fellas, so as my car is 7 1/2 years old and 42000 miles on the clock, would it be the general consensus of opinion to get it changed?

Re: Sump plug washer size please
Veteran,,,, I’m nearly 70 and am always learning from different sources, mainly forums such as this. I must admit that in my early days of car ownership it was much simpler doing your own maintenance, ie plugs and points, whereas now, apart from replacing brake pads and oil changes there’s not much ...
