My 2010 Polo

No don't get resistances unless you have a bulb error that doesn't go away with vcds

[AlexR]

Thanks! So I will try without resistors first.

[CNK]

I had LED bulbs, and LED lights from GTI 6R there were no errors in the VCDS

Now I use the lights from Dectane: LPLVA04A

That would be the 1K8 827 761 C or 1K8 827 761 D (mostly the D is used in the Polo)

Thx iichel! Finally i found the guide: http://www.polo9n.info/Wissen/anleitung ... heckklappe
I think this mod should be straight

I'm gonna go with the OEM leds.

Thanks for sharing that link CNK.

But it's a b***h to close right?

But it's a b***h to close right?

The tailgate closes a little harder

Nice!

I'm very satisfied with the OEM led lights for the licence plate that I installed. I know, I know, need to put some photos. Tomorrow.

Meanwhile, I changed the parking lights and removed the headlights. I never know if after removing and installing back the headlights, I need to align them. It looks like the right light it's kind of low, but not sure...

you need a pair of gas struts of a Seat Toledo from 2000 (around that year) and a set of Scirocco puffers. The puffers need to be shortened a bit.

If you then hold the middle button of the remote for a few seconds, the boot pops open. And the tailgate opens all the way.

If you google a bit you'll find the part numbers for sure.

After every couple of winters I've had to get new gas struts for all my cars (sure it's the same for most drivers) and I like to fit them myself (big woop, I know) but I've never had much luck with Googling. As a helpful tip for anyone in a similar boat, you can find the exact gas struts needed for your exact model using this search function. All you need to enter is your car's model, make and fuel and engine type to get a result. And if you fancy putting those bad boys on yourself but don't know where to start, Mick's Garage YouTube channel has this great instructional video.

Cheers !

I forgot to insert photos of the LED licence plate lights. Have to do that!


The Polo is almost 90.000KM and everything's fine except the drivers door sensor that doesn't work. Despite that no major problems.

Regarding mods... I would like to put some kind of sensors to work with RNS 510, perhaps a RVC camera on the badge and darken the color of my Lakeside alloys
For those who had used Foliatec on the wheels I would like an opinion. I was looking for something like Anthracite but Foliatec metallic anthracite kinda looks almost black!

Hi guys.

Was gone for a while but I want to do some minor changes and I always feel lost!

The primary thing that I want to do is to install a garage button, but the problem is that Carstyle4you does no longer has the button suitable for Polo, only for the rest of the models. Since I don't find one anywhere, could you tell me if you know where to get one?
