HI Guys

Wife's 58 plate polo when in for minor body repairs to the rear wheel arch and now the washed pipe is hanging down and become disconnected (Hanging in rear wheel arch)/
This has been rubbing on the wheel and needs replacing.
Should this be behind the wheel arch line, if so where, any pics ...

Well, brought a new switch and replaced it easy enough, but the window still doesn't work from the passenger side, or maybe sometimes moves a little, suspect wireing.

Any more help or advice greatly appreciated before I have to take it to VW.

Thanks

Just paid £25 from TPS for Genuine VW, will hopefully get round to fitting it at the weekend.

Thanks for everyone's help

Hi

Wife's passenger side mirror was clipped by a car and now the plastic indicator lens is cracked and needs replacing.

Is this easy to do??

Is there any write ups or videos?

Thanks for your help

Hi
I had the same problem on my wifes car.
Clipped that section back togethetr 3 times and still in came apart.
Ended up using a dab of superglue

Hope you get it fixed as it was a right PITA to sort.

Tony

Hi

I ended up applying a drop of superglue to edge of pipe before clipping in back together, works fine now.

Tony

Hi All

In the end i used a spot of superglue on the joint under the air box, and a piece of thin wire around the joint in the boot..


Thanks again guys

Hi Guys

After fixing with washer pipes the other week, they have come apart again today.
What can i use to seal them together?? Was thinking of superglue???

Any ideas??

Thanks

Do you have the wiring there but the light is missing? if so, its very easy to fit a cold cathode kit or a led array into the boot. I had 2 white cold cathode tubes in my boot but apparently their performance degrades with cold weather, so I bought some white leds and prepared a loom to fit it under ...
