What have you done with your Polo so far (and today)

[Hail22]

It was a listing off Ebay, since then I cannot find him I believe Readerr0r found him again.

I was checking out his other wheels for a friend recently, go figure...
17" ALLOY WHEELS VOLKSWAGEN GOLF MK5 MK6 CADDY EOS PASSAT TOURAN TRANSPORTER T4 | eBay

From what I remember you got them to make a 5x100 version?

I actually have a different set of replicas lined up in the next month or so from another wholesaler, can't wait to see them on my Polo. Can't let to cat out of the bag yet though

thanks readerr0r

Best bet is to tick these...


I found out by accident that when you tick enable for your bulb of choice the Cent Electronics module will log the fault instead of the Tacho, meaning no bulb out light. The error will still show up as a fault code though. Best to check if your BCM has that as an option first too

I believe the TSI and GTI share the same BCM unit/coding?

I may be wrong though...help anyone?

Pretty sure the TSI and Halogen GTI do, but I have a Xenon GTI which has the BCM from a Transporter (VW *love* sharing parts - half the electronics in the new Jetta are from the Polo).

From a post on the subject
"Polo and Ibiza both use three main types of 09-BCMs: part numbers 6R0 937 087 (entry-level), 6R0 937 088 (mid-level) and 7H0 937 089 (high-end). I've taken a look in the ETKA, and only the Bixenon-Polos would seem to have the '7H0 937 089' BCM."

So yeah someone with a TSI and VCDS would need to check the coding for that byte.

So far i have done:

-Black max window tint.
-Philips 4200k halogen globes.

Well Read I have ordered the lights.

I think I could go into the MFD via VCDs and remove Bit 6? (thus turning it to an auto light when the car is turn on?).

Where can I go about finding resistors for this? (that may be the fastest solution).

I'm guessing your goal is to have auto on, error free DRL lights? First up you'd need to enable DRL in the BCM, here's where it is on mine

There would be a similar option in your BCM too but possibly not in the same spot, then you wire the LEDs to whatever bulb usually handles DRL (I believe the Halogen Polos actually let you set different lights to be DRL - You were chatting about it in another thread?)
With that done you would then enable lamp diagnostics for the bulb in question, preventing a bulb out error showing on the tacho.

I'm only really guessing here though, your best bet would be to grab a VCDS cable for an hour or so yourself and have a look at all the options your BCM has. Gavs or nomadx38 (from the http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/foru...-up-74625.html thread) might have some clues too

I just remembered (Thanks to this thread VWVortex.com - Polo 6R DRL help - halogen type) that the DRL function is actually hardwired into the light switch. Seeing as your Polo is the earlier one doesn't have that wiring in place, you'll need to wire to the TFL connector in the light switch to the BCM :S

Wiring to the TFL Connector...interesting.

Is this what you're talking about?

The reason that you need to cut the wire because the pin orientation is not the same spec with the light. It is for the corners and the led.

The wiring isn't supposed to be needed if the pin arrangement is correct for the spec.
