UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Hi Mutley1,

The car is now up and running. In the end, although I had worked out most of the wiring for myself, I decided to make enquiries among auto-electricians as to costs and eventually manage to get one who re-wired it in his lunch-break for £20.

Thanks for your advice

Does anyone have a diagram which shows which colour wire goes where on the rear of the plug which connects to the ignition switch, please?

I have read the appropriate Haynes Manual and although this gives colours and corresponding numbers, I cannot see numbers marked on the plug !!!

Why not ask other insurers - try here:

HI,

I wonder if any one can help, please?

I live in Scotland and returned from holiday recently to find that my car had been vandalised. The car is a Polo Coupe 1992 model.

If one of them's duff, can it be renewed with a bit of de-ionised water or something (or even new acid), or is it screwed for good?


A battery consists of a number of cells connected together, usually if one goes down it will pull the battery output down with it.

[quote="Tahrey1043"]Right, its 1.50am and i have work in the morning so best be brief.



So far i've had suggestion of it just being a bad battery (charge pattern etc when off the car suggests otherwise), poor connection with the main electrode clamps (whatever you call 'em ... go on top of the ...

That could be problematic, Matty, most of my driving is done at about 30 - 40mph

Really appreciate that, Doug, thanks very much.

Thanks Spikey, to date nobody has been looking at me and after the MoT one of the garage mechanics took the car for a spin after sorting the gear selectors (which one of his mates had messed up) but he didn't make any comment about the wheel bearings so I suppose it (they) can't be that bad - or ...

I'm not really acqauianted with the noise of a faulty wheel bearing, what does it sound like when it is going is there anything specific about it, that i should listen for. As far as I'm aware, there are no rumbling noises coming from the bearings, jus what i would describe as wheel noise, ie I'm ...

The fan problem is definitely an open circuit resistor, I had that problem. You can pick one up in the scrappy for next to nowt
