Re: Hatch not opening off the handle

Turns out that the wiring is broken between the hatch and the roof.

Time to get the soldering iron and heat shrink out!

Hatch not opening off the handle

Opened the hatch as normal using the handle yesterday morning and closed it.
Went to something else into the boot and the hatch won't open from the handle, only from the button on the key.

I've pulled the trim from inside the hatch and unplugged the connector on the back of the handle and bridged ...

I haven't managed to find anything shorter than 53mm for the front so far. I don't have a part number for the WRC version though.

Re: Polo 6C lowering setup



Did you fit shorter bump stops to go with the lowered springs?

If not you may not have very much travel before hitting the stops which will make the ride firmer than it should be.
I fitted GTI bumps stops alround on my son's car and it still wasn't great.

I now have Ibiza Cupra bumps stops on ...

Re: Slow opening boot

I bought a set of Stabilus struts either from eBay or AutoDoc and I think that the pair came in at under £30.
The are OE for various manufacturers, possibly including VW, but definitely on Porsche.

Cluster swap

I've got a Polo 6R 1.2TDI and would like to fit a Toledo cluster to it to get a temperature gauge amongst other things.

Is there anywhere in the North East of the UK that can do the coding for this?
I had someone lined up, but he has been busy for the last 12months, so I need to find someone else ...

Re: Airbag Removal


Yeah you got the nastier of the two airbags. The key is to get a really really thin flat headed screwdriver. Wedge it inbetween, like properly inbetween. And pull really hard on the airbag. It's a bit-ch and the airbag I hate most when doing retrofits.


Just my luck!
Thanks for the advice. I'll ...

Airbag Removal

I've been trying to get the airbag of the steering wheel in my son's 62 plate Polo Match and it doesn't seem to want to come out.

I've seen the videos online about removing the trim on top of the steering column and then using a mirror to view the clips holding it in. I have used a screwdriver to ...

Re: No reverse or fog lights on new LED tail-lights

Did you buy them from Trade-Vehicle-Parts on eBay?

They only give you a warranty for 30 days, bit surprising for "insurance approved"parts, and won't budge on that.
I bought a set of tail lights from them and the reflector on one side has faded and is now a kind of pinky orange after 11 months and ...
