When putting the stock unit back in, I found installing the unit and starting the car unlocked the code automatically, just turning it on via ignition auxiliary presented the code prompt.
Drats, not an easy fix. Hopefully it holds out a couple more weeks. :goodluck:
Hi All, shout out to the 9N3 Community, cant believe I still own mine after 13 od years of stalking these boards, has been a great little pocket rocket!

Try running some liquimolly fuel system cleaner through it and give it an Italian tune down the freeway off ramp a few times..
It should run more efficient a tank or two after the cleaner has run...
Can you smell coolant in the engine bay?
Had this problem a few years back, turned out it was a faulty tailgate switch..
Pop the backing off your boot liner and replace this switch, problem solved

Is that with the stock tune?
I had a similar issue with my 2016 R bouncing off the redline in sports mode 1st to 2nd, turns out the APR tune needed an update.. After that it shifts perfectly.

I had the passenger side of the car up on a plank of 4x2 and jacked the car up a little further, didn't have much luck unfortunately getting any extra in... It's possible I had to jack the passenger...
Finally need some new tires for the Polo, currently running the RE003's, have had the 002's and 001's in the past and all have been great, only complaint is they are not very comfortable with the...
I just finished changing the gearbox oil in the polo, last time I had it done by Volkwerke around 5 years ago and had noticed ever since then it wasn't quite right, on the odd occasion it felt a...
VW are the masters of making things cheaper by removing features previous gen cars had.. Like the gas lifters for the engine bay or the key to the glove box.. Main reason I wouldn't buy a car newer...
I clean mine every 3 or 4 months, after a long drive such as going interstate the engine bay can be full of bugs and other various grime..

Easiest way to tell is if you have the larger MIB2 head unit display in the car, depending on exact build date, its possibly my16 if august.
Regarding tune, the cars are almost identical from...
Depends on what you are looking for and how tight the budget is. I'd go the MY16 for only ~5k difference, carplay and android auto is pretty damn handy. Also trying to upgrade a MIB1 to MIB2 system...
Been in the same boat, the biggest difference is the standard equipment in the my16, adaptive dampers and carplay with a slightly bigger screen and full leather interior.

Have you tried holding the power button down for 10 seconds? After this you should hear the unit in the glovebox create a fan noise during reboot.
Worth a shot
Great work! Sanded down and spray painted it would have that oem feel.
I was going to buy the proclip variety early on but the over $200 price tag was just too much, not to mention i could see...
For starters dont bother using the Eco Preset, you'll likely do more damage to your clutch which will offset any fuel savings (which is next to none) plus retard the power output excitement of the...

I disabled this about a year ago, but after sitting in some crazy melbourne traffic I can see times when it would actually save me some fuel.
The whole problem with it is that it should be...
To be honest these cars have been mostly the same since 2013 mechanically, the only real thing thats changed is electrical things such as the dash, audio system and a bunch of other unnecessary...
