Is the dash of my 1996 polo 6N the same as a Seat Ibiza/Cordoba of the same vintage?

The reason i ask is I want one of those brodit mounts but they don't list them for my car. They do however do them for Seat's.

Any help much obliged.

much obliged. maybe I should splash out at the same time and buy the haynes manual

It looks like my thermostat has failed, luckily in the open position.

Is it easy to change? Whats the easiest way to drain the coolant? When replacing, does it need a new gasket?

So many questions, but too tight to buy a workshop manual.

Thanks in anticipation.

I've also fitted central locking (mine is remote though, not that that matters). I fitted the actuators directly below the locks (if that makes sense) You have to be very creative and bend the rod supplied with the kit into a shape that will clear round the white plastic body of the lock mechanism ...

I'm fitting a remote central locking kit. Obviously this needs a permanent 12v live (rather than ignition switched).

I know its been asked before (i did a search) but does anybody have a wiring diagram for a 6N?

Failing that, does anybody know how to remove the fuse/relay box inside the cubby under the steering wheel? I can see a grey clip that releases on the left and there seems to be one on the right but its ...

Its about to turn 80k so its looking like its overdue.

As a guide what should i expect to pay to have it swapped? Is it just the belts or are there tensioners/pulleys to change as well

Thanks

1st question has to be, is there one? rather than a timing chain.

2nd, when should it be changed? i can't see it mentioned in the servive schedule thats found in the service book.

My car is circa early 96 with a 1.4 8v

Many thanks in anticipation

It does have rear head rests, along with split/fold rear seat and height adjustable front seats.

For some unknown reason my 96N reg polo 1.4 CL doesn't have central locking or electric windows. Every other one I've seen has both. The log book says its definitely a CL. Any ideas why?

I'd like to fit both and have seen a remote central locking kit on ebay for £28 + p+p. Does anyone have ...
