Relatively easy buddy. Just have to cut the old loom off, and wire the new ones in to the exsisting wires. Il upload a pic later of them flashingJosh_6n2_Polo wrote:How easy is it to change indicators mate?

Re: Greg's Silver Polo Progress Thread - BMC/indicators fitt
Why not use the cold air feed that goes into the arch?! And would water really get up the pipe? Surely it's too much of an angle?

Re: Greg's Silver Polo Progress Thread - BMC/indicators fitt
on the other side? the pipework would have to go over the manifold and be longer to do it on a 1.0 due to the tb position.
Its effectively in the same place on the pass arch anyhow.
If you are driving in the rain, and the pipe is on the fog grille cutout, it will suck water up into the filter and possibly into the engine

Re: Greg's Silver Polo Progress Thread - BMC/indicators fitt
s**t, i never thought about the TB position.
Yeah, that's what i was saying, but i wasn't convinced that the engine could have enough "suck" to get water all the way up that tight angle.
Tbh, the arch is a lesser run anyway, so it's probably the best option.

Re: Greg's Silver Polo Progress Thread - BMC/indicators fitt
cheers Alex, i ordered all the parts you recommended, ordered a reducer for the CDA too, so i can use a 70mm pipe at both ends, instead of having to find someone cut me a 15cm piece of 70mm to extend the TB side piping. is the feed routed to the same place the original feed is on the other side?
