polo cluster issue:

Post by Jedhi »

Hi guys,

I seem to have an issue with my mother in-laws polo Classic(the old one with the old spec dash)
the instruments in the cluster seem to stop working. I mean everything rev counter, speedo and even the petrol gauge..

What could be the issue... is there a relay that i can check..

thanx in advance.

Make sure the plug is still plugged into the back of the cluster. It almost sounds like the plug is pulled out.
