Re: EMC & EPC lights illuminated

Okey so maybe an intermitent fault related to bad fuel or something else.

Happen to me on time. EPC light + check engine light. I shut off engine and restart: no more issue and no codes stored after scan.
s**t happen sometimes.

Re: EMC & EPC lights illuminated

If you can, scan to see if there any fault code in the memory.

Try to drive it, it can be an intermitent fault.

Speaking of exhausts...
How many cats on the CJZD?

There's the cat up top at the turbo, but what are these other 2 units? Resonators?
To honest, now IDK. For me one, right after the turbo. I don't know what are those devices.

Re: DRL Failure (but not actually?)

Check the connector and see if cables are secured inside. Maybe a false contact or bad connection.

Re: AC starts automatically

It's normal.

If you switching "OFF" your fan with AC "ON", it wil automaticaly goes back to the last config when you will switch back ON the fan.

However, if (fan running) you switching OFF AC before the fan, when you will switch them back ON, AC will still OFF.

Re: V-Belt life time

Okey, I will see if there any minor cracks on rubber.

In this case, I will replace the belt and the tensionner also.

V-Belt life time

Hello boys ! New question today concerning our dear, and beloved Polo. The V-Belt and it's life time. We are (almost) agree on the life time of the cambelt (around 180000 km/210000 km) for EA211 engine. But for the V-Belt, nothing is indicated, even in the officials's VW workshop manual. There is no...

Re: Rattle center dashboard

Hopfully, I'm not concerned by this one, even it's a well know issue.
Last year I had to remove steeringwheel airbarg to change my steeringwheel and put a new one.

No noise coming from the airbag but one, sligthly coming from the rotating ring behinde (1 month after). Digusted :?
