Re: New Guy - Leicestershire

Are the rules in the UK also in such a way that you have to have the automatic headlight height system? Vehicles equipped with High Intensity Discharge (HID) or LED dipped beam headlamps may be fitted with headlamp washers and a suspension or headlamp self levelling system . Where such systems are ...

Re: New Guy - Leicestershire

Its a hot topic of controversy on HIDs and washers Legally, washers only have to be fitted if the car has HIDs from new MOT regulations state that if fitted washer systems must work, but if not fitted, reasonable doubt must be followed therefore they realistically cannot fail you. You're spot on; i...

Re: New Guy - Leicestershire

As there is no headlight washer on the Polo, a HID kit wouldn't be road-legal.

Easy decision there!

Re: New Guy - Leicestershire

It shouldn't be hard to wire in the mic, I need to wire in the mic for my headunit, will be doing it in the summer. I've already wired in RCA's from under the kickplates, through the dashboard side panel, to the Headunit. Can't see the mic taking more than 30-45 minutes to do. For the bulb u have t...

Re: New Guy - Leicestershire

The Junkman vids gave me the confidence to have a crack at it. I used the 105 and 205 too, because he recommended them in the vids. I like the RNS 510 - but is it a pain to route the microphone around and up to the interior light cluster? I've got some Philips bulbs to replace the standard crappy ha...

Re: New Guy - Leicestershire

Luckily we've got an outside double with storage above it. It's a tandem, and I fitte...

Re: New Guy - Leicestershire

Hello and welcome, wife is still running a 2003MY Polo 1.4 16V though a 1.2TSI 110 SEL is on order - I have an Audi B8 S4 6MT and really need to sort out protecting the paintwork and "masking" some minor scratches in the paint, it is dark blue metallic so white/grey is showing though. I t...

New Guy - Leicestershire

I'm Jim - I live in South Leicestershire - and we've bought a 2011 Polo to use as our third car (Audi A6 Avant / Jaguar XK) as Jaguar is a bit thirsty. It's the 1.6 SEL (90). A few years ago we have a Golf Estate, and it seems to me that it's the same engine as was in the Golf, but tuned down to 90 ...
