Hi All, I recently restored a CAT N Polo 6R 1.2TDI and can't understand the following 1. On cold start, it hesitates a little to start and when it fires up a cloud of white smoke is emitted which clears off immediately. 2. On full throttle and specially in third gear I can see cloud of black smoke i...

Sorry - was waiting for a break in the rain. The sender can face forward or backwards, and clips into an oval hole beside the horn. From the front, you can only mount it backwards. If you have the airdam off (and bumper too), you can access the nook to aim it forwards. Dunno which is better. Polo T...

Wth that explains why there is no PCB board when I lifted it. Sorry for the confusion

Anybody?

Hopefully a better picture, you can see the key with the blue 'VW' emblem has a button in the middle compared to the other one.

My polo is a 2008 Polo Match

A 'dim' light? What you mean?

The 'VW' emblem is a button itself. There is central locking on the car, the key button is not working now as I am waiting on replacement battery.

Thanks giannis20vt and CarbonChaos for the suggestion

Hi Guys,

Any ideas if the following 'Button' key fob with central locking
Converted to a flip key?

Thanks

Pictures would be very helpful please?

point two , you will need to have the air con gas removed via the same machine used to charge and test the system. it is currently illeagal to discharge CFC's into the enviroment and you SHOULD have the suitable qualifications to even touch this system. point one , are you sure the sensor is a cras...

Hi Guys, I am currently in the process of rebuilding the front end of a 2008 VW Polo. However I am stuck on two things - The impact of the crash was on the passenger side and somehow the front crash / airbag sensor was knocked off its position and left dangling. None of the airbags were deployed how...
