Limp mode and numerous faults

So the gfs GTi seems to have gone into limp mode and the dash is lit up like a Christmas tree. It suddenly happened as she was driving home from work but she managed to get it back to the car park at her work.

It now struggles to start and really chugs once it has actually started. There are a ...

GTi engine knocking noise

My g/f's 65 plate VW Polo GTi (manual, petrol, 58.5k miles) has recently started making a tapping/knocking noise from the engine. It's not a really loud noise but it is noticeable...it makes the engine sound slightly like a diesel. It was serviced/MOT'd about a month ago, so I don't think it's ...

Brill, just what I needed...thank you!

All now wired in and working.

Re: Where does the wire go for rear dash cam?

The trouble is, there is no plastic trim on the boot itself...it's all solid metal. So what look like trim clips, or screw covers, are actually just dimples in the metal:

So short of drilling holes in the metal (which ain't happening!), I'm not quite ...

Re: Where does the wire go for rear dash cam?

D'you mean the rubber tubing here:

https://i.ibb.co/vBPxsFJ/rear-dash-cam2.jpg

If that's what you mean, I can see where the cable would go into it...but where could it come out? Presumably that tube carries the wires for the heated rear windscreen (which attach to it internally)? I can't see ...

Where does the wire go for rear dash cam?

I've managed to get the front dashcam installed on my gf's 65 plate GTi (6C) and now in the process of trying to get the rear one installed. And I'm looking at it and thinking...how the heck's this going to work?!

If the rear cam is installed at the top of the rear windscreen, then it's not too far ...

Re: Fuse overview VW Polo 6R and 6C

I'm trying to hardwire a dashcam into my g/f's 65 GTi (6C) and not sure about the fuse connections. It's got parking mode so needs Acc and Vcc.

Re the fuses to piggyback onto - from the PDF diagrams above (Polo 6C 2014-2018), I'd gone for Vcc => fuse 5 (driver's door control unit) and for Acc => 23 ...

This is the only solution I could come up with without drilling holes etc .

Re: Optional Armrest Factory Fit


I retro fitted an armrest on my GTI and it's so far the best thing I've done to the car. It just flips up when you need the handbrake and otherwise gives you somewhere to rest your left elbow.

An absolute pain to retrofit (on the GTI anyway, because of the cupholder) but I think it's well worth ...

Re: Part number for VW rubber floor mats (6c GTi)

Yep I'm a fan of the rubber ones too. They handle wet much better than carpet and they're easier to clean (IMHO :D )

New Polo owner - need pointers on cruise control and nav...

Hi everyone

First post here so firstly...hello everyone! :mrgreen: Currently in the process of purchasing a 6c Polo GTi and I'm looking at a couple of add-ons (OK OK...so it's officially my g/f's car but if I drive it enough I think I should be able to claim squatters rights :D )

So the first ...
