UPDATE:

i had learnt that the cabling for the indicator runs via the motor unit behind the door panel, i decided to take a look there with a multimeter. i was able to get good amp and resistance readings on the motor.
i put the motor back and reattached the cables.
i tried the right side indicator ...

i have tested the wires as per the diagram and a i get continuity.

silly question.
Ive managed to find the relevant wires in the diagram for the drivers side indicator.
How would I multimeter test? would i connect one probe to the 28 pin connector side, and the other to the connection on wing mirror side?

i have the polo 6C
from what i can see the connector have nor corrosion on them.
also, on further research its said this could also be the sign of a faulty bcm. could this also be the case?

it sounds like the aerial is the problem.
i had the same issue. once i replaced the aerial with an oem from ebay, i was able to get DAB stations again.

Could you give more information on the exact fault with the indicator unit as your description is rather vague ? What does or doesn’t it do



when i indicate on the right (faulty side), i get the abnormally fast ticking noise that you usually get when an indicator is faulty. The light blinks ...

i had changed my wing mirror indicator after it had become faulty.
the replacement worked for a day or two then went back to being faulty like the first one.
is there anywhere else i can investigate as it sounds like the issue is not the indicator itself?

Hi all

Trafficmaster has ceased TMC broadcasts via Classical FM. However, apparently this is still being broadcast on DAB. Is anyone able to confirm this?
Would the infotainment system need to be updated / replaced?

managed to finally get it free, cheers.
now i cannot get the bolt in the new suspension arm to screw in

Hi all


Does anybody know how to remove the ball joint on the swing arm?
I have tried using a ball joint removal tool, but that has been useless.
There is a torx socket on the top of the joint which i have also tried but that just starts to give way and round off.
is there anything else i can try?

i had the same issue with the DAB signal.
I got another VW ariel of the same type from ebay and tested it. DAB worked as normal again.
i see that these antennae can be opened, i wonder if it's worth taking a look inside?


Did you change the base? Or the removable rubber shaft part or the ...

P0138T is the highest that particular unit can update to.

i have errors where if i try to activate the heated wing mirrors, the front and rear wipers would activate. or another where the parking sensor alarm would go off when i'm nowhere near anything.
on research, i'd seen that a bad CAN unit can cause multiple issues, so i had removed the CAN and checked ...

Found it where you said it was.

Thanks
