Re: Rear wash wipe leaking

Check the joint under the ABS module -you might find (like on mine) that the joint had come apart and the water was squirting right up the bodywork, making it look like it was leaking out of the bodywork underneath the passenger seat itself!

Re: Rear wash wipe leaking

Well I managed to sort this out - fiddly but its working now.

If anyone else has the same problems:-

1) Remove the air filter box entirely
2) Underneath the abs unit is where the joint comes apart - I found it impossible to 'rejoin' it in the same place so I pulled the two ends around the front of ...

Re: Rear wash wipe leaking

Is that only accessible from underneath the car? I've had a good look and I can only find the pipes that lead to the front windscreen jets.

Its well hidden- but where the water is leaking from suggests its around the area you've mentioned!

Rear wash wipe leaking

Got a frustrating problem with the wife 2008 Polo - the rear wash wipe isn't working. When you try to do a wash, the pump runs and the wiper moves but no water comes out. Except you can see the water dribbling out from under the car - roughly underneath the passenger side seat.

Thing is, I've had a ...

Re: 2008 Polo - question

I know the cars history pretty well as it used to be my mothers!

Never had a replacement windscreen. This whistling noise is now doing my head in! I've even tried taping around the edge of the windscreen to see if it was there but it made no difference.

I've elimated the following:
- door mirror ...

Re: 2008 Polo questions

Got this sorted. If anyone else is trying this I wired the switched Live (on the stereo) to the cars connector Aux - that seems to be switched on the ignition. Its on the quadlock and is the brown/red wire.

I wired my 'boosted' aerial to this as well and all seems to work well! It was easier than ...

Re: 2008 Polo questions

Thanks for the info - I only have a simple ISO adaptor. It came with a loose red 12v cable so obviously designed for custom fitting!

I connected the red cable to the second yellow/red cable in the 'car side' quadlock. It works but independently of the ignition. My ciggy lighter seems to work with ...

Posted this in the wrong section at first! :oops:

Hi,

My missus has just upgraded her older 2006 55 E Polo to a 2008 Polo 1.2 70 Match - a nice little motor!

I've got a couple of question though - first one is I've noticed quite a dramatic increase in wind noise in the new polo above 50mph, with ...
