Re: Anyone accessed tail lights on 2014-17 Polo 1.2 TSI or similar?

Rum4Mo, Success! I extended the slits in the felt trim and then was able to put a screwdriver into the slot. With not too much work, the screw then finally turned and I was soon able to extract it. As for the electrical connector, I had to probe very carefully with small screwdrivers to pull out the...

Re: Anyone accessed tail lights on 2014-17 Polo 1.2 TSI or similar?

Rum4mo, First of all, congratulations on a successful job. I've obviously read your staged instructions but I'm very wary of VW making minor alterations to things like this, year on year. The arrangement on your 6C could well be different on my 6R. I can't, for instance, even begin to get to the ele...

Re: Anyone accessed tail lights on 2014-17 Polo 1.2 TSI or similar?

I agree with you, Rum4mo. I think iichel and peter are mistaken. Either that or VW have altered the design since their vehicles were produced. I think VW has made a very small but, for us, an unfortunate change in the design of the fastener that now makes it look as though only someone with a purpos...

iichel and peter_dk25,

Anyone accessed tail lights on 2014-17 Polo 1.2 TSI or similar?

Anyone here got a 2014-2017 Polo and managed to access the innards of the tail light cluster? I've recently bought a 2017 1.2 TSI Match Edition and am going round the vehicle, inspecting and noting down the types and ratings of the various lightbulbs. (And before anyone queries it, yes I've the requ...
