Re: For anyone thinking of a Polo-sized EV from VAG…….

I like a smaller ev, but not fond of the looks just yet. Theyre all so streamlined and flat

Re: Car won’t start after bad stall 1.4FSI

Please do a compression test. the fact that it sounds the same with plugs in or out is worrying

Re: Non Starter - Has cambelt jumped a tooth

Does the starter motor spin round and make a sound like it still has compression? Or does it spin too easily.

Re: ☼ POLO 6R. WIRING LOOMS. Automatic lights. BCM Max. ☼

Dear Ciclo, I am currently retrofitting various features including headlight washers, front pdc and auto lights. To do this I am also upgrading my BCM. I'd love to get your help either with looms or technical support, whatever you have available. I will pay you, of course.
Kind Regards, Andries

Upgrading BCM, Exterior Lights, AFS

Good Afternoon everyone,
I do realize that this topic has been opened up many times before.
I want to upgrade my Polo 6R, it is a highline version with a 087x BCM currently.
I want to put a BCM Max in the car, and with that I want Bi-Xenon or Full LED lights.
I also want to install AFS in the future ...
