Giannis20vt's Polo 6c 1.0MPI

Those reflectors are there so other vehicles that emit light can see how slow you are going...
The 6R R-line rear bumper doesn't have those reflectors from factory , although what's really intriguing is why the R model don't have front fog lights...

There may be a built-in reflector in the taillights, i don't know.

I'm still thinking about whether to install them or not.

Try 'semi-connecting' them in their different possibilities/combinations in the taillight connectors to see what the diagnosis says and then decide what to do. It is also advisable to read the regulations for lights in your country beforehand so you can make good decisions.

As position lights they would be discreet and acceptable, I don't know how they would look as brake lights or any other possible combination.

Logic makes me think that to make a good electrical installation you will have to remove the bumper to guide the wiring properly.

I agree with everything you wrote.
Because I have left the project with the 8K parking sensors in the middle, during its implementation I will need to remove the rear bumper, so then any installation will take place. Maybe I will do the wiring and leave the connector waiting for its connection, so if I finally decide to install them I will not need to remove the bumper again.

#Rubber bush front Anti-roll bar


in the winter months, especially the first few minutes the car is moving, creaks are heard from the front.
After checking all the connections for torn seals, damaged shock absorbers, I decided to start with the simple and cheap ones. To change the elastic connections of the anti-roll bar




Step 1, we lift the front left wheel, remove the wheel and have immediate access to the two screws of the connector.





We unscrew the screws and....



The lower bolt won't come out, it hits the driveshaft.
The solution is simple, lift the wheel a little with a jack so that the bolt can be released.



From here on things are simple. We remove the metal support together with the rubber joint, and separate the rubber joint.


On the left is the old, on the right is the new.
It doesn't look quite as worn out, but the change has been made.





Place the new rubber bush inside the metal plate and tighten the 2 screws. We do not tighten the screws completely so that we can easily insert the other bush at the opposite side.


The left side is ready, we do the same on the opposite side. There the driveshaft is not in the way, so we didn't need to lift the wheel to free the bottom screw.

We tighten the screws normally according to the instructions and finish the right side.
We go to the left side, tighten the screws there too and we are ready. We install the wheels and that's it.

These are stretching bolts, so technically you should have replaced them

You are right, the code is N10746301 is the number 18 from the my first picture.

Hello there,

is it possible to change the VW badge to my car with the new one from VW Golf 8 (or Polo2024) ?

i "borrow" a photo from another member

[ciclo]

Yes, but that image isn't the right one.
Look here at what the result would look like.

It doesn't matter if it's RVC High or Low, or just the emblem with the opening mechanism.

If you're not particularly skilled in general, it seems best to buy the complete swing/flip emblem assembly with the opening mechanism.
Changing just the emblem by removing the axle is not an easy task for most people. Remember I warned you.

Another member?

[giannis20vt]

Yes, that's the picture I saw and thought I could make the change.
Thanks for the warning Fernado.
Are there any links for the badge? I looked on Aliexpress but I don't know exactly what to buy.

New

Old

What about the front badge? Is there a solution?

[ciclo]

On 'Ali', I only know links to OEM RVC High/Low 'with the current rear VW emblem'.

For the 6C front grille emblem, there isn't a good solution to get the look of the current VW emblem. What's available are cheap plastic pieces that stick over the factory emblem, a very poor and disposable solution.
With good crafting skills, 'and money', they can be improved to truly look like OEM, maybe I'll do it in the distant future.

- Forget 99.9% of the YouTube videos showing these DIY emblem change... it's all rubbish. They don't show the swirls, scratches, broken tabs, chrome damage/deformations, or general deformations they create on the emblems while doing such shoddy work. (sorry, but you know I'm right)
Using screwdrivers or similar metallic tools is a joke.
- Forget about emblems that are glued on... it's also a joke.

I have a very specific personal procedure for doing all this manually, correctly, and easily.
Clues: Vaseline in lowercase/tiny amounts at a specific point in this DIY. Magician's gloves.
The results are just like the factory finish, that is, immaculate.

OK Fernando,
i get the idea. I will leave it as it it.
I don't want to mess with that kind of situation right now.
I'm most likely going to make my wife complain if something goes wrong.

Wives are usually the best judges of these things.

When I did my rear emblem camera, it did comes with the new emblem, I did think about changing the front emblem to the new style. I had changed the front emblem to black before by removing the entire front top grill, luckily nothing broken just a sore thumb from pulling.

If lve recall new emblem for polo has only two tabs at the top and with small shape tab centre bottom instead of old styles with 4 tabs, My idea was if the two top tab matches position of the old one (not sure if emblem size match) then all I need to cut a slot for the bottom tab in the grill or just 3m the bottom. I didnt go ahead with it instead just changed the rear emblem to old style since if ive change to new styles would also involved change wheel cap and the logo in the steering wheel to match.

As far as I know, there is no new 2020--> model front grille emblem of the correct dimensions for the 6C. I seem to remember that the originals are 112mm...(114 possibly).
Removing or installing the front emblem is quite simple, for both the 6R and the 6C.

The really laborious part comes when you have to replace the chrome VW symbol on the tailgate's flip-up mechanism, or try to remove the mechanism's axle. Anyone can do it... (figuratively), but doing it right is another story... If it's not done properly, without causing any damage (just like the factory one), the result is very shoddy. I see many around here... )))
It must be done with the opening mechanism removed from the tailgate or the tailgate will be scratched as seen in some YouTube video. Removing the shaft from the opening mechanism (OEM) is really difficult even with the right tools. There's a YouTube video that makes it really easy, but that axle isn't OEM... ))) ... another clever guy. )))

The emblem is the first thing we notice when we look at a vehicle. IMHO, it must be immaculate.
It doesn't matter if instead of the original logo an elephant face is installed or it is painted colorful or black without a logo, it is a priority that it is immaculate.
