Hope that...

Re: Immobiliser system replacement

You should only need to replace the key itself, The same as if someone lost all their keys ,just get new keys coded to the car.

Re: POLO GTI DSG 2011-2012 6R

The early cars (6R) are known to have high oil consumption and poor DSG gearboxes , the facelift model (6C) is a better car, may be a lower spec but newer model would be the way to go and still keep within budget ?

A common misconception there you are not obliged to service a new vehicle

By law, automakers and dealerships cannot make you perform regular maintenance at a dealership for a new car warranty to remain valid.

Re: Instrument cluster needles illumination leds p/n

hi and welcome,
i dont think you will get any helpful schematic of the instrument cluster internals as this part was only ever available as a whole unit , which of course would come blank and require coding to the car.
a second hand unit may be your best bet to strip for parts ?

Re: Fitting new wheels onto my polo

These are tyre sizes , you need to look into the wheel specs especially the quoted ET (OFFSET) numbers.
post up your current wheel specs and the new wheel specs we will have a look and see if its ok and of course what car your going to be fitting them on
