Re: Rear Knocking/Rattling

The rear shock mounting 6R0513353B was superseded in October 2013 with a revised rear shock mounting 6R0513353. I also had knocks and rattles coming from the back so I fitted my Polo with the revised mountings. No more knocks and rattles when driving slowly over small bumps in the road.

Re: VCDS - (2013) Central Electronics Control Module Long Coding

BCM Coding
Please note not all Polo 6R GTI's have the same BCM's, my Polo has got a 090 MAX module. Some of the coding may not be accepted on the older BCM's.

Re: Disabling dimming for instrument cluster?

The only way to keep the instrument cluster lights on will be to dismantle the instrument cluster and make a bridged connection between the two soldering points of the light dependant resistor.

Re: Clunking brakes 2016 GTI

I devised my own fix and used the blades of a sparkplug feeler gauge to make U-shaped shims. I used the shims to fill the gaps between the brake calliper carrier and the top and bottom ends of both the brake pads. The knocking noises were gone for a while, but it did return although not as loud ...

Re: Common suspension problems?

Hi all (new here),

Driving my Polo lately I have noticed it is a lot more bumpier than usual at the back, sometimes I hear a knocking which sounds like it is inside the cabin?

I have checked the boot area and everything looks secure. The only loose thing seems to be that polystyrene tray which ...
