central locking pump 6n2 GTi

Does anyone have a working central locking pump for a 6n2 GTi that they want to sell? Part number 6n0 962 257 A. Thanks.

Re: Radiator replacement for 6n2 Polo GTi

Radiator successfully changed now :D. Thanks again to Alex. Not a hard job in the end; probably took about 3 hours which is what my local garage said it would take them!! They were either lying or they must be really slow as I'm pretty sure I could do it in 2 hours if I had to do it again!!

Re: Broken horn

Having pushed a rod into these 2 holes, I can feel a spring at the end of each. However, not being able to see them, I'm not sure how to release them! Is it just a case of pushing a bit harder (as I think tegwin suggests) or is there some nack/technique required (other than just pushing) in order to ...

Re: HID bulb replacement

It works perfectly :D . The new one is perhaps slightly brighter but not a lot. Just the central locking, radiator and horn to fix now!!

Re: Radiator replacement for 6n2 Polo GTi

No, I didn't. Assumed you were busy and didn't get time to scan the pages... Didn't want to keep hassling you for them! I'll PM you with my email address again in case I typed it wrong. Cheers Alex.

Re: Radiator replacement for 6n2 Polo GTi

pocketrocket, have you managed to change your radiator yet? I don't think I'll get round to doing mine for another few weeks yet. If you have changed yours and have any advice to give that would be great. Thanks.

Re: Broken horn

have you managed to get to the contacts behind the steering wheel? If so, is it easy to get the front off the steering wheel without setting the airbag off?

Broken horn

My horn no longer works on my 6n2 Polo GTi. Nothing wrong with the fuse but there is no live feed to the horn terminals when the horn is pressed so I believe it to be a faulty contactor behind the steering wheel. Does anyone know how to get to this contactor? Do you have to be careful not to set the ...

Re: Radiator replacement for 6n2 Polo GTi

I haven't actually got a new radiator yet - wanted to be confident that I could change it myself before I bought a new one. Got a quote from Unipart for about £90 (plus £12 for 5 ltrs of coolent) but that's as far as I've got! Is yours new or second hand?

Re: Radiator replacement for 6n2 Polo GTi

Hi, Thanks Alex.

On another point my horn has also been broken for a while. The alarm still works though so from reading a thread from a few years ago you suggested that this could be the contacter under the airbag. Anyone know how easy it is to get to this contactor and how to avoid setting the ...

Re: HID bulb replacement

Ok, thanks. I asume the cap twists anti-clockwise? Don't want to potentially make it even tougher to get off!!

Once off, will any bulb with the same specs be ok? I see a lot of people recommend HIDs4u but there are bulbs available off ebay with exactly the same specifications as mine for quite a ...
