That's exactly what I was wondering.

Hi there,

I received a recall from VW for my Polo 6R due to a faulty Takata airbag. Since years ago I have already replaced my old steering wheel with an MFSW from a Polo 6C, I’m wondering what will happen when I take my car to a dealer for the recall.

Cheers

I am glad you solved it mate.

Mhh...pads fit anyway without them but i think it's better with.

5K0 698 231 is different clip. The right one should be 1J0615231.

Thanks man. :wink:

Edit

1J0615231 is NOT the right part. I had to cut it it order to fit the pads.

Any help will be appreciated.

I purchased Ate pads (first equipment) but the clip are missing.

They are even missing in the photo showed on Etka.

:lol: Thank you guys!

Today I've replaced the rear disks and find out one clip is missing but can't find the code on etka and the clip is not included even with new pads.
Can you help me solving the mistery? Thanks!

Hi guys, just replaced the cooling tank but it remains a little tilted despite it's mounted correctly. Have you the same problem?

Yea, that's what I was talking about.

There's a proper tool to easily cut PDC holes without damaging even the paint. Let me know if you need more details.

:arrow: Let's resume this topic guys.

After working on EEPROM I feel to share few tips about the job.
But first of all thanks to Benzinkopf and Patil for supporting me on this BIG challenge ( BIG at least for me :P ).

Am I right in understanding this was the wiring kit you was referring to? https://www.kufatec.com/en/comfort-retrofits/seat-heating-adjustment/cable-set-seat-heating-for-vw-polo-aw1-seat-ibiza-kj-arona-kj7-43338


Hi, sorry for late reply. Yes that's the kit.

is there anything else I need to ...

Thank you Michael I'll check wiring diagrams once more. :wink

EDIT: Just checked wiring diagrams. You were right: this LIN is connected to anti theft sensor and rain/light sensor.
That explain why wire is missing.

Thanks Michael for that explanation.
According to this my wirings are correct.
Would you expect to already find a wire on pin 15 according to diagram above? Or I shouldn't care about.
