Procedure for replacing low beam headlight bulbs
Let's look at how to change a light bulb in a Volkswagen headlight. First of all, it is necessary to clarify what type of lamps are used for low beam and purchase a suitable option for use. In addition, in most cases it is necessary to install both bulbs at once, since for high-quality lighting you need a kit selected according to all operating parameters. It is never possible to combine old and new lamps; the difference is too noticeable.
What you will need
To remove and install the Volkswagen Polo low beam lamps you will need:
- Torx screwdriver T-30 (star);
- flat screwdriver;
- fabric gloves;
- clean napkin and alcohol;
- hook from a car tool kit.
Alcohol and a cloth will be needed to wipe the halogen lamp bulb before installation. You cannot touch it with bare hands, as greasy stains from strong heating darken and worsen the parameters of the light flux.
Important! Before starting work, it is necessary to ensure conditions for convenient and quick completion of the procedure. You need to open and secure the hood, disconnect the negative terminal from the battery. After this, you can begin to directly remove the burnt out lamp and install a new one.
Step-by-step instruction
The procedure for performing work on a Volkswagen Polo is as follows:
- Using a star screwdriver, unscrew 2 screws from the metal fastener so that you can remove the headlight;
- carefully disconnect the block with the lamp’s power wires by pressing the plastic latch;
- press on the bottom of the headlight and pull it out of the socket. There are 2 more latches, so you will have to apply some force;
- remove the sealing cone by turning it counterclockwise;
- remove the burnt out lamp and replace it with a new one;
- We assemble and install the headlamp in the reverse order.
Important! Experienced people say that replacing one lamp on a Volkswagen Polo takes no more than 10 minutes. For a beginner doing this for the first time, it may take a little longer. There is no need to rush; all actions must be performed thoughtfully and carefully.
What kind of light bulbs are on the Volkswagen Polo sedan 2022
Well, you can’t say that the Polo is a small car; the design of the latest generation Golf and the Polo have quite a lot in common.
By the way, the sedan is even closer in this regard, because like the Sirocco, it has round-shaped fog lights.
. There are the same number of horses - 105. Torque 170 from 1500 to 4000 rpm. Such indicators :))) of the minuses - there is much less space under the hood, or rather it is there, but not where we would like. And the layout is similar. This engine certainly feels better than the 1.6 in the sedan. Still, high technology and the latest developments are making themselves felt. The DSG robot is also modern technology, economy and dynamics rolled into one. Which is very pleasing. But in such a comparison you should always remember that expensive is not always good. A small-displacement turbocharged engine will have a shorter resource due to high boost. And the mechanics of the Polo sedan will still have an advantage over the newfangled robot in reaction time. That’s why in a manual transmission you first engage the gear and, when necessary, accelerate sharply. But in a robot, just like in an automatic machine, you first press the pedal, then the robot decides what to do and only then accelerates. The main thing in life is to be able to look for the positives, even at first glance in the negatives.
