UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

i went to my vw dealer and they gave me the keys.

tell me about it. i carnt even get the old unit off

i dont know if it is years of dirt that is holding it on or just me not doing something. but it is well stuck. MOT is next month and i assume it will fail unless i fix it.

Kally - where are the small screws either side of the led unit i cannot find them

thanks

matt

can anyone point me in the right direction for getting out the old leds on the non-spoiler version?. i have looked in the haynes manual but they just dont seem to come out easily. do i need to be more forceful? i dont want to break anything.

thanks

if it has been raining the brakes do seems to rust quite quickly. could the tolerance between the caliper and the disk be so small that the rust and bridge the gap? this is the worst case: i had major probs with this in the past. thanfully sorted now. took the garage 2yrs to find out the problem. we...

ask them how they want you to prove it and what would be the acceptable documentation.

it might be that your local garage or approved repairer for the insurer would sign a letter stating that the alarm existed.

it does. check the link inder pasted. the remotes are the two black and grey things in the centre of the picture. very easy to fit.

i bought mine from new and remote locking was an option on mine. it is a colour concept tdi. i assume it would be an option on the 16v

why do you ask?

it is very easy. just buy the part from vagparts.com. i bought the golf mk3 version for about £100. but check yours car is compatible. open the boot, unplug the wiring loom that goes into the central locking pump and plug it into the remote unit. then plug the remote unit into the pump and thats it...

cheers ben. didnt think to look in the haynes manual. (i havent got one because mines a tdi). but i suppose the brake light is the same for everyone.

but what if it isnt the brake light that is faulty. is there anyway i could check? does it have a fuse?

i have a 2001 tdi. i know that in the past i had abot 3 leds out but recently i have noticed that none of them work. i have checked the manual but assumed they do not have their own fuse and all of the other lights work. i see there are two holes in the boot lid covered by rubber plugs. is this the ...

what do you mean the sensor is wet? mine doesnt unlock from that side either after a trip to the garage for a service. although it will lock. i decided not to bother with taking the door apart. i assume that a catch has dropped off inside. instead i bought the remote central locking kit for £90 ish...

to clarify what inder was saying about the simplicity of installing the golf unit it really only takes a couple of minutes. take the central locking pump out of the pouch on the boot. unplug the loom and plug it into the votex then plug into the pump. attach the aerial and lay tidily around boot. pr...

i have got my repair kit but how do i remove the headlining without damaging it to get to the bolt which secures the aerial?

thanks
