Polo Parking sensor retrofit

[MGquattro]

Hi Y'all,

Has anybody tried this on a 2006 Polo ?

I fitted a set to my 2003 A4 just after christmas and think their brill, so now I think it might be a good idea to fit a set to my 80 year old mother's 2006 polo 1.2 S

So Here's the question.....

Is her car CAN, or can I tap into the reversing lights feed like on my B6 avant?

How difficult is it to remove the rear bumper on these cars?

Pretty basic questions I know but I'm loath to pull her car appart until I get all the info....

Thanks in advance

Mike

Polo is not CAN and you should be able to feed off the lights. Rear bumper removal is simply a case of undoing all the screws you can see on top, underneath and in the wheel arches, removing the rear lights may help.

Thanks Astra Daz thats what I was hoping to hear.

On the Avant I had quite a bit of trim to remove and just wasn't sure how difficult the wee polo is. Don,t want to horrify me mum

Any idea how long it takes to remove the rear bumper ? Is it worth trying to fit it in between the rain showers

Thanks again for your quick reply.

If I remember I will try to take photo's of the event.

For someone who hasnt done it before id say 10-15mins. personally id leave it until the weather picks up or you can work under cover.
