Hi just got my 9n 1.2 polo on a 54 plate and the reversing lights don't work both sides I thought it maybe the bulbs but I have changed both em of and had no joy the circuit boards look fine there's no cracks or condensation in the light cluster so I don't no what's wrong with it? Could it possibly b a switch or something that's gone? Any help would b awesome!

The switch is a bugger to get at,you have to go to it from underneath if my memory serves me well,between the engine and radiator..

Hi
I'm new here but just a thought...
My 9n3 doesn't have two reversing lights.
Looking at the rear of the car It has what looks like two reversing light lenses, underneath the Brake lights, but one is a reversing light (on the left) and the other on the right hand side is a rear high intensity (fog) light.
Might not be like that on your model .. but it fooled me at first, when I got mine.

Wiring tends to break next to the plug for the switch. (Pretty common VW thing -I've fixed it on the 9n, and 2 B4 passats) The main dealers sell "repair plugs" with a length of wire attached. Solder that on, and off you go.
