Thanks Rik

I think you squeeze the tabs on each end of the connector block. I'll soon find out; the LEDs are in the post !!

Dave

Cheers Rik. That's one of the reasons I chose the 60W equivalent with a lens to project as much light as possible

Any tips to removing the light fitting? Does it just push out once the white plastic screw has been removed?

Dave

I've ordered LED replacement for the pitiful reversing light. I've been finding it a real struggle to see where I'm going in the dark, when away from street lamps, using the standard bulb. Here's what I've ordered... http://www.hids-direct.co.uk/382-p21w-white-60w-cree-xbd-smd-12-5w-canbus-led/ They...

Had my Polo R-Line detailed by Deluxe Detailing at Newton Aycliffe in County Durham Not cheap, but 3 years protection and easy to maintain using DIY glasscoat SiRamik spray Paul had the car for 3 days. First day to machine polish (remove all swirls and marring), then a day to prime and apply SiRamik...

Thanks for that. I've got same light as you have in your R-Line.

Dave

Yes - I am referring to the lighting in the roof console. Thanks for clarifying.

Hi

Picked up my 2016 Polo R-Line a couple of weeks ago and have noticed there is no illumination of the switches on the interior lighting.

Should these be illuminated? It's a real pain trying to find the switches for main light and reading lights in the dark...

Dave

Hmmm. That's scary if it's the case. I thought they were regularly checked by Trading Standards.

I'll try somewhere else next time to compare.

My freshly detailed R-Line 1.2. Thanks to Deluxe Detailing of Aycliffe (near Darlington) who had the car for 3 days to decontaminate and machine polish, followed by application of SiRamik glasscoat products. http://i.imgur.com/ufIuV1X.jpg http://i.imgur.com/tuJlfxj.jpg http://i.imgur.com/nbihV4T.jpg...

One thing, there is meant to be a space left at the top of the tank for expansion, you clearly have force filled to the top, I'd only ever do that if I intended to drive off and immediately run that car until I had used the extra fuel up - otherwise, you might just end up with trouble with the EVAP...

Filled up today for the first time and got 52 litres into the tank (with 30 miles range showing on the MFD) !! Tank is only rated at 45 litres... Have I a super-sized tank or is this normal for the Polo?

No sign of a flood on the petrol station forecourt so it's all gone in

Traded my Club up! for a Polo R-Line a couple of weeks ago. 4000 miles on the clock. First job was to get the car detailed to enhance its appearance and protect the paintwork. Not cheap, but based on my experience of Deluxe Detailing's work on the up! it is money well spent (and definitely much bett...
