Re: Fuse 23 on a Polo 6R 2011 1.4 Petrol?

No light sensors, no rain sensors, there's not that much frill to the car at all.

It's an 2011 SEL (comfort?) Polo and in terms of "extra" features all I'm aware of is reverse parking sensors, cruise control and heated side mirrors. There really aren't many more bells and whistles than that.

Fuse 23 on a Polo 6R 2011 1.4 Petrol?

Evening all!

I left my 2011 6R Automatic Polo sat idle for 3 days, after which it failed to start the engine! I was able to bump it with a battery pack and after a short run it would start fine.. Another couple of days and there was a slight struggle again so I initially thought the battery was ...

Re: Musty smell from air vents (not AC) 6R POLO


I have used an AC BOMB on two cars now, each time I have set the air flow as directed but disabled the AC chiller function as it might strip the incoming recycled moisture from the BOMB out of the air - I've forgotten just how clear the direction have been - but I'm only using a bit of (my) logic ...

Re: Musty smell from air vents (not AC) 6R POLO


Think the last time i used an AC bomb. I had to put the ac on open all the vents and turn on recirc function to keep it circulating within the car.

Most AC bombs comes with instructions on there correct use.


The thing is I don't have a bad smell when AC is on, only regular air and only when it ...

Re: Musty smell from air vents (not AC) 6R POLO


One question:- do you use the AC often and leave it on until you are about to stop the car?

When you use your AC, it will strip out some of the water from the air and that gets dumped in the air plenum area, unless you disable the AC chiller some time before stopping that car, and then demand ...

Musty smell from air vents (not AC) 6R POLO

I've got a musty/damp smell coming from my air vents. It smells like that when;

AC is off
Air is NOT circulating internally

I've checked the filter at the passenger sides feet and it seems fine and I've had a good nose under the bonnet but can't find a source of the smell, not that I really ...

2011 POLO SEL, Boot opening and brake assist?

Hello!

I've been driving a 2011 1.4 Polo SEL for about a year now. After having a fair few makes of car previously (Rover, Ford, Peugeot) I think with VW I've found a make/quality I really like! However, there are a couple features that still puzzle me!

1) Pressing the boot unlock button on the ...
