Do you have factory alarm?
It doesn’t have that icon on the cluster.

Not sure about the alarm, it has a red light on the drivers door that flashes while locked but never heard an audible alarm go off in the 5 years I’ve owned it.

1.4 TDi Oil level sensor replacement

Hey, Couple months ago my oil warning light (yellow) started flashing 5 times when turning the ignition on. It doesn't happen all the time, but most of the time, and is only initially after turning the key - not while driving. I believe this to be a dying oil level sensor, as I've checked the oil le...

Re: Interior light comes on while driving

Could be a faulty microwitch, system thinks door is open. Does the open door symbol light up in the cluster when that happens? I've never noticed a door open light on the cluster. Is the microswitch part of the door lock assembly? If so its probably easier to replace the whole thing instead of just...

Interior light comes on while driving

My ‘08 Polo has a strange issue with the interior lights. When set to the ‘on when door open’ position, they will randomly come on while driving. This is also combined with them staying on while the car is locked sometimes, and also while locked the hazard lights will randomly flash, or sometimes st...

TT/Sport pedal covers

Hi, I've got a set of TT style pedal covers, which the brake and clutch fit fine, however the accelerator does not. I have the LHD accelerator pedal (8N1721647B) as most people say is the one that fits, and it does however it does not stay on due to the top right corner catching on the wheel well wh...

Re: Live wire feed for headunit

I did this a few years ago but I cant remember 100% exactly what wire is which. The 9N3 doesn't have a switched power cable to the radio that provides constant power when the ignition/accessory is on as far as I know. You'll possibly need a canbus emulator (£10 or so) if you don't already have one. ...

Gearbox shaft bearing or clutch release bearing?

Hi all, I’ve got a 9N3 Polo with a 5 speed manual which I recently took to the mechanic for what I thought was a wheel bearing on the passenger side, turns out it’s a bearing somewhere in the transmission. The noise sounds just like a bearing gone bad. It is noticeable when in gear and when in neutr...
