Re: Calvin's R Line; eibach spring kit :)

Hi Calvin,

May I ask where you got the VCDS cable from (does it come with the required software) and if there is a site which list what codes do what for the Polo?

Thanks in advance.

Re: Look at my knobs!

@ Franko - saw youe PM but no option to reply ?! (only delete or report)

Anyway, hopefully this will make sense without pics, I used a pea sized amount of blu tac just at the base/bottom of the knob (does that sound wrong? :D ). So, you have what I call the top - the bit with the indicator showing ...

Re: Look at my knobs!

My knobs arrived last week, put them on and thinkthey look nice as they compliment the knobs on the stereo head unit. As Franko mentioned previously, they are a little loose compared to the originals, however, rather than use glue, I used a bit of blu tac :lol: and this has made it pretty secure ...

Re: Can someone Suggest some Canbus error Free LED sidelight

Mine is 2013 registered, not sure when it was built though. The LEDs which I thought were working, well it's intermittent, sometimes it shows bulb error, sometimes it doesn't! - they can't seem to make up their mind! :D

The strange thing about all the other lights coming on is that when I had the ...

Re: Can someone Suggest some Canbus error Free LED sidelight

I managed to find some LEDs which don't come up with the bulb error on the dash, but I noticed that when I start the car, not only do the sidelights come on - the dipped beam and rer lights also come on. I don't remember these other lights coming on with the standard halogen bulbs.

Does having ...

Re: Xenon White Canbus T10 Sidelights

Hi Scotty,

Are you selling these LEDs? I'm interested as long as they are definitely error free on a 6R (I bought some from ebay which were "error free" but bulb light came on the dash)

Thanks in advance.

Re: Can someone Suggest some Canbus error Free LED sidelight

@MNavs - I puchased the bulbs from the ebay link you provided, installed them today but got a bulb error in the dash!

Not sure if I received faulty bulbs, does anyone know if it's ok to ignore the error or better just to put the original bulbs back?

More difficult than I expected trying to buy ...

Re: Look at my knobs!

Hi Franko,

I like the look of those dials, have you glued them in permanently now? Also, have you got or do you know if you can get a matching dial for the lights?

Thanks.

Polo 6R Headlight Replacement

Hi All,

I'll be picking up a 6R (1.2 Match [2013]) soon and wanted to ask you knowledgeable people if any of you or know of someone who has replaced the standard polo headlight unit with an aftermarket one? I came across these ones - http://goo.gl/efkmJ which have built in daytime running lights ...
