Re: Adding buttons to steering wheel.

Oh well. Would've been nice. I think I'll manage with just the leather steering wheel.

Adding buttons to steering wheel.

I was wondering if one can take out the side caps and replace them with the button on this type of steering wheel.

I think it was some automated system that was supposed to blur the number plate... Some photos have other random parts blurred :lol:

Re: Polo 6R/6C Photo Gallery

Recently ordered a car history report for fun and got around 20 photos from 10 years ago when the car was brand new. This is a before and after comparison. Feels weird when I think about the fact that I was going into 5th grade when this car was first sold and now I own it :lol: . Time flies. 10 yea...

Re: New car - Retro fit questions- part numbers?

The standard display only shows outside temperature and the range when the fuel light comes on. With mfd enabled you can see a lot more stuff like have a big digital speedo(this must be activated separately), instant/average fuel consumption etc.

Re: Manually adjust the headlights?

Took the headlights out, changed the bulbs to a set of Osram Nigh Breakers and adjusted to roughly to the correct level. Had to use a bit of WD40 to lube the gears. Patience was key since I'm pretty sure they were completely filled with dirt since I could feel it grinding while turning the screw. To...

Re: Manually adjust the headlights?

I set the headlights in the lowest position (number 3 on the dial) and still the screw wouldn't turn. I think I have to take out the headlights and lube the gears. It's weird they won't turn with that screw but turn just fine when using the dial inside the cabin...

I also found mine really stiff.
Do they have to be in the lowest position before turning that screw?

Manually adjust the headlights?

I need to adjust my headlights. I have to keep them on the lowest position and I'm still flashbang-ing people in front of me. I tried spinning the white plastic screw but seems to be stuck...
Do I have to do something with VCDS to be able to turn it or could it be broken?

>decides to wrap the grill chrome
>breaks the entire grill in half during disassembly

The next and last update for the exterior will be for the front bumper. Either a 6R/C GTI with fog lights retrofitted or leave it standard and just retrofit the fog lights.

I meant changing from single to dual mass flywheel or the reverse. What are the benefits from doing this?

Re: Luk or sachs clutch 6R 2013

Why would one consider a dual mass flywheel after a certain mileage?
