    My Polo has the same cracks. I've looked into fixing it before and found the same conclusion, you have to change the whole dash =( nice to know its slightly common and not something I've done though.

    I went the dash mat too... Took the mat off to clean it and discovered that the crack family had been breeding... There is a DIY removal on the net wich I will get around to doing one weekend... Either that or I will superglue the cracks then vinyl over the top of them...

    I was cleaning the car last weekend, removed the dash mat, sure enough my dash has suffered the same fate.

    Has anyone tried to replace the dash?

    Cost involved? I don't mind getting my hands dirty.

    See pic below for what im talking about



    Also i have a slow coolant leak.

    Does anyone know where I can find a list of coolant hoses for polo 9n3 gti? the leaking hose is in a bastard of a spot at the front of the engine. it is so fiddly I cant see a vw part number. I can only barely see the leaking hose.


    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Cheers

    Mine is cracked to buggery. Not a lot you can do as I discovered the same as everyone else the that piece is not easily replaceable. Going to just put a dash mat in. Sun is so harsh here in QLD it just nails plastics.

    Guys, apologies for resurrecting an old thread... So I'm very close to committing to an 06 9n3 GTI, but the one thing that is letting it down is cracks in the dash, which I just know I'm going to hate...lets face it, as a driver, it's in your face all the time. My question is, is the 9n pre facelift dash the same as the 9n3?

    I know it's a pig of a job to swap but also not too keen on a cover. On that note though, are any of you running a cover? Thoughts? Thanks.
