I hope the photo is attached. The KTEO in Greece, equivalent of the UK MOT, no doubt has similar regulations but when I got the car it had an odd size tyre on the rear, 195 55 instead of 185 60 and the DRL bulbs had failed but the car had been passed.
When removing and replacing the headlight I ...

Re: Headlight disintegrating
Thanks for the info. The car is registered in Greece where the equivalent of the MOT is lax. I have a photo of the deterioration but don't know how to add it from my smartphone. Looking at the light again the black melted plastic must have come from the an H7 bulb which was poor quality. There is a ...

Headlight disintegrating
I have headlight problems with a LHD unit 6R1 941 007E which uses H7 for both main and dipped beam. The alloy fitting at the rear of the reflector is disintegrating into a fine brown dust. At some time a bulb has exploded as there is glass embedded in the reflector and a scorch mark on it. There is ...

Re: 2013 Polo S 60 Central locking kit
I am new to this form and my Polo. Without wishing to insult you I find it very difficult to believe that your car does not have remote central locking. Possibly you have only been supplied with the mechanical vehicle key. What you could do is buy a blank 3 button remote control key off eBay and ...

CAT light and glow plugs
My 1.6 TDI had no warning lights showing when I first bought it a few months ago. 2 of the glow plugs were open circuit so I replaced all 4 which was tricky as the plastic ends on the leads were disintegrating and had to be fished out of the plug recesses. At some stage the cat warning light came on ...

Fitting LED headlights
Hello I am new to this forum. I have a 2011 LHD 6R 1.6 TDI with CAYC engine first registered in France but now in Greece where I am at present. There may be no UK equivalent. It has dummy fog lights which only have holes for the 21w DRLs. No unused loom behind the lights and the light switch has ...
