Benzinkopf's 2012 VW POLO 6R MK5 1.2TSI 105HP DSG

Great. If thats the case, i will proceed installing around the same area. maybe if red is still no good, i will change to white also later. Thanks. In addition to that, im thinking of placing another one from under the centre rear seat to illuminate the area behind my armrest, as it is practical to ...

Re: Boot release motor broken

Ive studied the mechanism and the gear operation before. i even tried 3dprinted the worm gear for replacement. so i found out its not wear and tear issue. its not worn out issue. It is normally how you operate the latch. Never ever pull the emblem logo while you closing the lid. thats the trick. onl...

Re: Boot release motor broken

Most likely the nylon gear inside already broken. You have to replace the whole locking/latch unit.

Well. after more than 8 years and nearly 300,000km, this is what happen to the driver’s floor mat: https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200324/dbb0eceac5345956c2c77abd2049633a.jpg I’ve been thinking the best solution and accessories for this, but did not find any.

Re: Benzinkopf's 2012 VW POLO 6R MK5 1.2TSI 105HP DSG

Thanks patil for the warning. Yes, i know its not easy with the door handle material and shape. but how you did then? just glue the light to the surface? Thanks CnK for the suggestion. I like that oem way, but thats just the door handle area, i would think it is way practical if i can light up the d...

if i’m not mistaken madwarlock did that with Discovery Media+PDC module from MQB. You may want to search in Drive2.ru for his logbook.

Thanks Ciclo and Patil. Yes, its small warning with big impact if we dont deal with it appropriately. Today we understand the big risks played with the frontliners and thanks alot for that, that we are able to sit at home and wait. Hopefully everyone in this forum and all around the world are safe. ...

Re: Benzinkopf's 2012 VW POLO 6R MK5 1.2TSI 105HP DSG

thank you. i did hope to be able to place the led far from the car body, but i guess due to space limitation, thats the best i can do. and if we check the other models, it seems like it is still the same issue where some of the light is being reflected direct on the car shoulder line as well.

Benzinkopf's 2012 VW POLO 6R MK5 1.2TSI 105HP DSG

so hello everyone, here's the details. Since it's quite lots of photos, so i decided to make a video instead. I guess its better. btw, the wiring part: of course referring to Ciclo's thread, where the wiring for these puddle lights LED are directly from the Footwell Light harness, going through the ...
