2f polo stereo install - rear speaker wiring and power feed advice wanted
schneil posted a topic in ICE, Electrical and Lighting
I'm about to replace my stolen stereo and get my rear 6x9s wired in. I don't think my car has the wiring for rear speakers. Can anyone tell me the route the wiring takes? Down the passenger side carpet? Which holes does it come out of in the boot? Also which path does it take around the rear hatch? The stereo I'm getting is a Sony MEX-GS820BT. Would I need to upgrade the power wires? The manual states rated power consumption 10A. thanks in advance https://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/in-car-receivers-players/mex-gs820bt -
I have a mk4 Polo which has had a break pad warning light on for years. Break pads regularly checked and deemed good, so put down to a wiring fault. Car had cam belt replaced about a year ago, plus relatively new battery. It runs well but changes to MOT rules now include warning lights. Any suggestions on cost of sorting wiring fault, as seems a shame to scrap a good car.

Yes the age old question of swapping a 1.8t into a polo but not any polo a mk2f polo. What im after is some advice about keeping the original clocks in the polo but running a 1.8t but I’m struggling to work out what I can do for a loom to get it all working correctly, ideally I need the obd port for possible remapping in the future and if the engines running rough. I’ve got both cars next to each other so it should make life easier but I doubt that 😂 It it will probably be easier if I bullet point my answers any advise is welcome Can I run 1.8T (AUM) on it’s own with out the immobiliser? Can I have it push butting start with out needing the key and clocks? Can I use the existing ECU? What driveshafts should I use? What brake setups are best for this? Would it be easier if I got a new pedal box because the AUM is DBW ? Thank you in advance Harley

Hi all. I've bought my self a new car stereo and have decided to wire this one in properly with a proper ignition feed rather than bodging a constant 12v feed. Trouble is I don't have an obvious ignition on 12v feed. What's the easiest way to to go about plumbing one in. Also when climbing under the dash I've found two unused plug and socket (pictured) and don't know what they're for, any ideas?

My left indicator is doing this strange thing every now and again and it's super irritating while I'm driving, it doesn't do it when indicating right but only does it on left When it does do it the indicator doesn't even come on, I've looked in the steering column and wiggled some wires about which seems to fix it for a short period of time and then it just does it again. Starting to think it's the actual switch but not sure, any help would be appreciated, thanks. Snapchat-276793547_000.mp4

Hello, I know there is a lot of threads on ABS and sensors but I guess every problem is unique, I have a 9N3 1.8T Polo GTI (07). A while back my ABS light had come on along with traction control permanently off, scanned the car and it came up with: ''ABS Wheel Speed Sensor Rear Left (G46), 008 - Implausible Signal - Intermittent'' I investigated and found some of the wiring had burnt through the exhaust but was soldered (badly) by the previous owner, I unplugged the sensor and pulled it through the car onto the rear bench, cut the bad solders off, stripped and crimped (upon inspection of the wiring the black was slightly discoloured, maybe from the previous owner putting too much heat on the wire), this worked fine for around a day of driving. Then the fault seemed to reappear, I again pulled the cable through the car, checked the wiring and repeated the same process, still didn't work. I then cut the crimps off and soldered. Now it seems the problem is very intermittent, the fault comes and goes very quickly. Sometimes it's on for a day then other days vanished and everything works fine. An output test for the ABS was also completed via VCDS when the fault was gone and everything checked out fine. Measuring blocks whilst driving shows no output from the rear left when fault is present. As I'm typing this I realise this looks very much like a wiring fault but I can't help thinking this may be something else. So far I've changed the sensor, the rear disk has also been removed and cleaned up any dirt maybe stopping the sensor from working correctly. My next idea is to maybe change the rear wheel bearing as it works with the sensor to output a signal. Any thoughts, similar experiences or little things I can check would be appreciated. Thanks, John

Loom plug wiring for speedo unit mk2 polo help!!!
lewist posted a topic in ICE, Electrical and Lighting
Hi All, I am just wondering if somone can help me please as in a bit of a panic! I have a mk2 polo ranger from 1990 pre facelift, for the past few years its had a tempermental issue with the power feed (I beleive its the live cable from the ignition feed) to the speedo unit as intermittently loose power to the instrument cluster and gauges every now and then it will flicker and mess about, I have pressed all the crimps down in the loom plug to try and make contact to the many cables and its been ok ish for a year but now it will just not work at all now. I am in a bit of a panic as I have mot coming up at end of May! I do still have a working clock, full beam indicator on the cluster but I have lost temp,fuel gauges, handbrake light, oil & indicator lamp. I dont know if there is a supplier of loom plugs or some place I could get one? I have had a look on ebay with no such luck or even if there is something like it that will fit ok? The origional vw part number is: 321971998 Or is there a work around maybe I am open to ideas I dont care what has to be done as long as its working again to be honest. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Kindest Regards, Lewis -

Hi Everyone! I'm brand new to this site, so I hope I'm doing this right! I have recently brought my first car, a Volkswagen Polo 1.2 S 2002 plate. Now, upon purchasing this car, I realised there were a few faults, however, I am finding more as the days go by. The main things I am concerned about are, the immobiliser (The lights aren't on at all), the stereo doesn't turn on and I am missing the long antenna of the aerial on the roof. The original stereo does not work and I have recently purchased a second hand pioneer face-off stereo from eBay. Does anyone have any advice on any of these problems or how I would fit this stereo myself (even though I'm a woman, I'm savvy and will give anything a go! ) Any feedback would be much appreciated! Many thanks!

So i decided to take my polo of the road about a month ago due to the amount of problems i was having with it and it was meant to just be a engine swap and now its going to be more! I started this on here in the hope that people will appreciate what i'm doing and also help me in what i'm doing when i'm stuck on certain things because someone has always done it on here!

(Mods please move this post if it's not in the correct part of the forum) Kind of a long one sorry but any help would be greatly appreciated I've had my 9N3 for three odd years now and largely it's been spot on but for the past 6 months it's been a fucking pig. Basically all started when I randomly got an EPC warning light out of nowhere, looked it up, replaced the brake switch and it was sorted but about a week later I got ABS warning light frequently and the power steering would cut out for no reason. However, if I turned the car on and off again it would be fine again immediately which showed me that it can't actually be a mechanical problem. On top of this a lot of the other electrics were temperamental as fuck, such as the stereo cutting out for no reason and the interior light flickering like mad. I assumed it was a bad battery and replaced it, which solved nothing, since then, I've had another battery, replaced the alternator, cleaned all the ground points, and replaced the positive and negative cables. For a couple of days it was spot on but tonight the headlights randomly cut out as I was driving and it took a good few tries to turn them on and off again. I've reached a point now where I feel like I'm just throwing money at the problem to no avail and everybody seems to have a different idea what it might be and it's simply not worth sinking that money into a bog stock 3 cylinder 9n3. If anybody has any ideas what it could be it would be brilliant because I'm at my absolute wits end, my brain's fried at thinking what it could be and I wanna sell the car asap but don't wanna sell it until I know the car is 100% reliable and safe and I'm not mugging anyone off.

I have been having trouble with the indication lights on my 88 polo. When the lights are switched on (and the key out of ignition) all works ok. When the key is turned the clock lights go out, the adjustable dial works on the blue light and the headlights are reversed. The high beam indication is on when high beams are off. I have heard about an earth fault but this only started after I removed the dash surround, no other wiring has been touched.

Hey to everyone! Today i decided to buy a aftermarket central locking kit. My polo from 1996 1.0L never had a factory central locking system on it. I did some research on the web regarding this subject and i did learn some things. The actuator placements in the doors are pretty straight forward not much to learn. The hard part is the wiring the central locking kit. The kit contains : - 4 actuators : 3 with two wires, and one with five wires. - The controller - Two wires ( Red and Black ) For 12V current - Two wires ( Brawn and White ) for the blinkers. I think a good way to get the 12V current is from the car`s lighter box. But i have no idea how to connect those two wires ( Brawn and White ) to the blinker`s system. ( those wires should turn the hazard lights when you open or close the doors. A friend of mine mounted a similar kit on his car ( a non VW car ) and he connected i think one of those wires to his hazard button from his console. I think that did the same thing as connecting them to the lights directly. I have no idea how should i do it. For more help maybe some one knows the wire colors and could help me with some tips i added some pictures to help you out. http://postimg.org/image/664gulb75/ http://postimg.org/image/jfe96mj0r/ http://postimg.org/image/x6yhc67in/ http://postimg.org/image/pgfggj30l/ http://postimg.org/image/5s076jvfp/ Thank you!

Hi all, I'm doing a boot build for my 2 15" 1500w Sony Xplodes, so far i have built the box, fitted the subs and placed it in the boot of my 6n2. I came in to a hiccup when I realised how I was going to power them, so I bought a JL Audio 1200/1v3 amp, but I now need to know how I will power the amp. Should I use the battery in the car already or put in another battery in?? if so where would i put it?? do I need a different alternator?? Thanks, Corbin Car : Y-reg 6N2 1.0 MPI Sub 1: 1500w 450rms 4 Ω xs-l152p5s (http://www.sony.co.uk/support/en/product/xs-l152p5s) Sub 2: 1500w 450rms 4 Ω xs-l152p5s (http://www.sony.co.uk/support/en/product/xs-l152p5s) Amp : 1200w x 1 @ 1.5-4 Ω 1200/1v3v (http://www.jlaudio.co.uk/product/54216.46510.48108.0.0/98352/_/12001v3)

Polo 9N SDI ABS wiring harness help needed
earthling posted a topic in Wheels, Tyres, Suspension and Brakes
Hi, the cable to my nearsdie ABS sensor was chafing against the wheel, causing a break in the insulation. Water got in and of course my ABS light has come on. I have a new sensor and I went to VW for a new wiring harness, but I am not sure it is right. The two plug-in leads are easy enough but there are four extra single wires - with no connectors, where do they go? Has anyone any ideas? Please see attached photos of the ordinary connectors and then of the 5 or so separate wires. Any help gratefully appreciated as I have an MOT in 2 days! Thanks Adam PS - not sure why, photos aren't uploading -
Internal lighting stopped working. Mk3 refit Breadvan 1993
DanteCharles posted a topic in ICE, Electrical and Lighting
Hello All. We have an old type Polo Breadvan style which we find it very difficult to find parts for. The internal light that comes on when the door is opened or that can be switched on manually has stopped working. I initially replaced the small sausage shaped bulb as this seemed the most likely cause but no go. The small light clips out of the padded inside lining, and is attached to a small junction box, so we are unsure if it's an old/burnt out wiring issue, or a fuse somewhere. We are new to the Polo Club, but the car has been with us for 6 years... with a twice yearly servicing it's running fantastic...so we would like to get the light fixes. My instinct tells me it's most likely something easily fixed, but we don't have a manual or a Haynes etc to look to. Finding these cars in the scrap yards is like chasing unicorns....they must now be quite rare, so parts are always an issue. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated from any members. Big Thanks D and C See photographs Attachments_2015113.zip -
Mk2 Saloon engine swap, hall sensor help
draycott3 posted a topic in Engine, Transmission and Exhaust
I'm currently in the middle of swapping my knackered 1.1 engine for a 1.3, firstly I don't care what engine is better and which gives you more power gains, so don't bother posting if you've got nothing worth saying. The problem I have is that the new engine which is a 1.3 from a 1988 Mk2 Golf has a distributor hall sensor on, whereas the polo's does not. I was wondering how I go about wiring it up, do I need anything else such as an ignition control unit? Also does anyone know what engine code this engine might be? I've had it stripped down and cleaned for painting and I still can't find the code anywhere, I've been told that It might be under the distributor but all I can see is a 2 and another very worn down letter/number that can't be read anymore. Thanks in advance :) -
No Ignition live power into 03 Polo stereo
Ellyottpoulter posted a topic in ICE, Electrical and Lighting
I have recently put a new aftermarket stereo into my 03 Polo which already had one in, it also has a parrot kit, it worked for a few days until I tryed to put a DAB antenna in. I pulled the stereo out, as normal and ran the DAB antenna down the windows and into the back, I plugged the stereo back in as before and it wouldn't turn on as I put my key in the ignition, and neither did the parrot. I took out the parrot cabling, tryed it without this, ruling out a faulty connection in this, I then looked at all the different voltage readings across the wires that connected my stereo and there were none that didn't have power until I tried the switch live cable. This flickered at about 0 to 0.1 volts, ruling out an unplugged connection. I am stuck about what to do next! Any ideas would be amazing Cheers
