Hi All,
I have a 2014 (64) VW POLO 1.0 6C. i bough as a damaged car and i have almost finished the car. i have installed the headlights and went to check if they are working. Side Lights, Dipped Headlights, DRL all work fine. But the main beam does not work. Even when you flash they do not work. They flash when you have the dipped headlights on but when you have them off or on side lights they do not work. Indicators also work fine. I have checked the fuses and they are all fine. Any Suggestions?

Obvious reply - the bulb?
And don't mean for you to suck eggs - re-check the fuses - for two reasons. First, the fuse diagram in the owners handbook (or even worse, the HBOL), can sometimes be superceeeded. So for example, when first released, Fuse 10 (F10) might have been the fuse for say left main beam, but subsequently changed to say F16 in subsequent model years.
Secondly, having initially checked the fuses, you might subsequently fiddle with other components and caused a temporary short, and blown previously intact fuse.
