just a quick one, can you change the dash light bulbs that light up the dials?
my mph one went first then a day later the rev counter one died.
cheers

Yeah you can. Its a bit of a pain as you have to take out the clocks. My mph went about 2 years ago, im just very lazy and havent changed it. Also i dont drive much at night lol.
I think you can get bulbs from halfords and iirc the very small.
I had one of these gone recently. Turns out,it wasn't even blown.
With the clocks out, I did a quick continuity test & power wasn't getting through the bulb.
I cleaned the flexible pcb (someone can inform me of the technical name) with contact cleaner & made sure the bulb had good contact again using the continuity test. Works away now.
My LCD clock is acting up intermittently now......sort that another day.
cheers lads,
i want this fixed so i dont miss the beast hitting the 250k mark

im so jealous!
The ones Halfords sell aren't the correct ones (unless they've recently updated their stock). They cost about £1.50 from a VW dealer or about £0.70 from a Skoda dealer ;)
From memory there's 3 in a mk3 Polo clock. Always worth buying a few spare. They last forever but you never know, next time round they may be obsolete!
cool cheers for that. i wouldnt have thought of vw for them
