Each car is not insured against breakdowns, not to mention the fact that it is necessary to carry out the basic service maintenance. The lighting system on POLO-SEDAN from German volkswagen.required with the adjustment time. Headlight adjustment and replacement of Middle and Far Lights on Volkswagen Polo. Not a difficult thing.

If you need to replace the lamp in the car, then this is done from motor compartment. Open the headlight cover, access to the old lamp is open, you can proceed to replacing the lamp.

The basic principle

The essence of the work is to turn off the lamp cartridge from the electrical connector. After that, a slightly climbing clamp over special fixing "tongues". Old headlight, if it is no longer suitable for further use, you can get naked hands. The main thing is to make sure that it is already completely cold. But the new lamp should be installed on its place exclusively through the tissue rag or, pre-dress protective gloves. In any case, it is impossible to touch the fingers of its surface, as traces of fat may remain on the glass, which significantly reduce the operational period of the lamp.

When installing a new lamp, note that the cartridge tongues must accurately enter their places in the appropriate grooves of the reflector. If necessary, you can adjust the headlights. It is possible to determine the need for this procedure by simply by checking the correctness of the illumination on a flat surface, for example, on the wall.

Disassembly headlights Replacing a lamp of near and far light

Quite often, it happens that in addition to replacing the light bulb, it is necessary to carry out service maintenance of other elements of the design of the lighting. In such situations, it is necessary to dismantle the entire headlight block. Make it is not very difficult, and no specific tools will need.

First, unscrew the two screws for removing the headlight on the Volkswagen Polo

Two fastenings of the headlights Volkswagen Polo

To begin with, it is necessary to remove the rotation pointers, as well as the facing frame of the radiator. Next, you need to find a multi-contact plug from the headlight that we want to remove. He is S. inner Motor compartment, so that this will need to open the hood cover. This procedure is done by unscrewing a pair of bolts. Further, the headlight is a bit submitted forward, which will remove the electric contact of the servo. In most cases, a certain effort is required to dismantle, which can damage the design of the lighting devices.

Therefore, it is important to use the tools correctly. To do this, you need to take the hammer, the handle of which is installed between the body of the headlight itself and the shock absorber. This will raise the headlight higher. You need to raise until it becomes free to move freely in all directions. In addition, it must be remembered that the lower headlight bolt keeps at the expense of the spring clamp, so do not try to pull it out by force.

After all repair or preventive procedures, the headlight is installed in place in reverse order. Also, often as a result of such actions, it is necessary to adjust the headlights that we will now consider in detail.

Head adjustment process

Headlight adjustment can be made practically in any conditions.

The only significant requirements will be the presence of a smooth vertical wall, as well as a completely horizontal production of the car. Also, you need to make a car as close as possible to standard operating conditions. To do this, put in place of the driver of a person of your complex, and in luggage compartment Leave only a spare wheel and a regular set of tools.

Now you can start adjusting the headlights. Open the hood cover and find the engine shield in front of which the adjustment elements are located. So, on the back of each of the heads is located two regulators. Their placement, relative to the other, mirror.

Adjust the headlights through special screws

It is best if you have a special adjustment device, otherwise, on the wall you will have to draw a table, according to which you can adjust the light of the headlights.

The work process is to install the car in front of the corresponding smooth wall at a distance of a little less than five meters. After that, the headlights are included. If the light pattern does not coincide with the one that should be displayed on the wall, in accordance with the requirements of the manufacturer of the car, then it is necessary to correctly adjust the direction of the glow. To do this, you need to use dummy type "Phillips", which has a subtle sting. It is necessary in order for the screws responsible for the offset of the light beam, it was possible to scroll. One of the cogs is responsible for the vertical movement of the light beam.

Therefore, by tuging it clockwise, you will be able to raise the headlights a little, and sroping down - omit. The second coin will act in the horizontal plane. Therefore, it is necessary to twist it clockwise if the beam of light should shift a little closer to the axis of the car. When scrolling counterclockwise - the light will be shifted in the opposite direction. Now we learned how to adjust the headlights on the Volkswagen Polo.

Instead of the adjustment device, you can use any smooth surface.

After both headlights are adjusted, no additional actions for fixing the result are required.

In most cases, problems with the near light on volkswagen car POLO is associated with lamp burning. Thanks to the convenient access to the back of the block headlights, it is possible to replace illumination elements very quickly, without any difficulties. The only one, we recommend to familiarize yourself with the main nuances of this operation and the procedure of action that we will consider in this article.

Choice

As a rule, the replacement of the Middle Light lamp on the Volkswagen Polo sedan from the beginnings begins with their choice. Immediately it should be said that two-dimensional H4 halogen lamps are used in this car, i.e. They are also long-lit lamps. You can distinguish them from one-ways by the presence of three contacts on the base.

The auto parts market offers a large range of such lamps from the most different manufacturers. Moreover, the price of the product is often not a guarantee of quality. Therefore, when choosing, first of all, it is necessary to focus on the following characteristics of the lighting element:

Tip!
You can find pseudo-xenon light bulbs on sale.
These are the same "halogens", however, they provide light blue light close to daylight.
Such lamps are well covered by space in dry weather, but in the rain or snow are inferior to usual.

Of course, it is possible to acquire lighting elements only in large specialized stores, despite the fact that their cost can be higher than that of market sellers. However, in this case, it is less likely to acquire a fake, which will quickly overrigent or shine poorly.

As for manufacturers, it is better to give preference famous brand, such as

• Bosch;
• Philips;
• OSRAM, etc.

It should be noted that the domestic light bulbs "Mayak" have recently become popular among motorists. They cost cheaper imported analogs, but at the same time they are not inferior to them in quality.

Tip!
Before you buy a particular lamp model, it is advisable to read the reviews about it on the Internet.

Deciding with the type of lighting element, you can buy. Moreover, acquire lamps better than couples. The fact is that the light of different models is usually different, and this is well noticeable in the process of their operation.

In addition, the durability at the light bulbs is approximately the same. Therefore, if the Middle Light on the Volkswagen Polo is not lit in one spotlight, then, most likely, in the near future it will go out in the second headlight.

Procedure

So, the replacement of the near light bulb on the Volkswagen Polo sedan is carried out in such a sequence:

• First of all, you need to open the hood and turn off the minus terminal from the battery.
• Then you need to disconnect the block from the contacts of the base. To do this, you need to pull on myself, slightly swaying from the side to the side.
• Next need to dismantle the rubber plug.
• After that, access to the spring list will openthat needs to be discharged by pulling it on yourself. (See also Article.)

• Now you can remove the old light bulb and install a new one in its place.. Perform the replacement of the lamp is better in gloves so as not to touch its glass with your own hands. Otherwise, fat spots will remain on the flask, which will lead to overheating and the rapid failure of the lighting element.
• Next, the work is performed in reverse order - The base is fixed with a spring, the boot is installed on the place and then the block is worn to contacts.

Here, in fact, the whole instruction. Even newbies, this work takes 10-15 minutes.

Tip!
If you touched on bare hands glass flask Light bulbs, it can be wiped with alcohol.

According to this scheme, the Middle Lamp of Volkswagen on the Polo sedan is changing both from the left and right side.

Replacing fuses

Sometimes it happens that even after replacing the near light lamp on the Volkswagen polo does not burn. As a rule, the blades are overwrong fuses. Change them even easier than lamps.

The mounting unit is located on the instrument panel, downstairs on the left side. To get access to it, you need to open the lid.

In this case, we are interested in the following fuses:

• BS39 - responsible for the right block headlight;
• BS59 - responsible for the left block headlight.

Often, visually fails to determine the fuse. Therefore, even if there is no external signs of defects, it is necessary to check its performance by the device, or install a new fuse.

Note!
The cause of Middle Light faults can also be oxidized or burnt contacts in the block or relay.
The problem is solved by stripping contacts.

Output

Middle-light lamp on the sedan polo is changing several non-speed action. It is necessary to comply with the recommendations given above that the process is safe and not affected the durability of the new lamp. If the replacement of illumination elements did not give the desired results, it is necessary to check the fuses.

Recently, many motorists actively engaged in the improvement of their "iron horse" became more interested in elements of automotive lighting. Make up blogs on the Internet, remove the video, write information articles on the replacement of electrical equipment. Such an excitement is associated not only with the desire to make your car safer on the road, but also with modern fashion trends.

Today, the LED design is popular in terms of installation of lighting devices. LEDs are small semiconductor elements that transcribe a current in the glow. They are placed inside the headlights of the near light, on the rear lights and even in turn repeators.

The German manufacturer from Wolfsburg did not deliver its new invention - Volkswagen Polo sedan, LED "decorations". Beautiful light bulbs are mounted both in head optics and in.

In general, all car lamps are divided into two categories:

• Halogen samples inserted into the front headlights are the main source of light illuminating the road fabric.
• The remaining sources to which the parking and overall lamps, stop signals, lights rear stroke, turn signals and perform a minor role.

Manufacturers - Pond Pond. Enough to go to any automotive store and detect a huge range of goods different marks and sizes. In some cities, even entire trading points specializing in the sale of lighting equipment for cars are opening.

The most famous brands include OSRAM, Bosch and Phillips. These companies create really high-quality samples that are in great demand all over the world.

Varieties of lamps and the features of their replacement

The greatest difficulties in repairing the lamps on the polo sedan are copies of near-light headlights. Varieties a lot: everyone differ in shape, dimensions and technical parameters. This is also classified by standards that are associated with the content of various gases in the lamps. The most famous standards refer to H1, H3, H4, H7 and others.

For a sedan polo used H4. This type of car lamps produced for a long time. H4 is the first source of head light with two heat threads. Today there are many modifications of H4, differing in the structure of gases in the flask, internal holders, spirals and shell. All parameters affect the lighting quality sample.

Specifically, the Volkswagen polo sedan needs to select H4, designed for 12 V with a capacity of 60 W. The light stream is limited to the maximum marker 820 Lumen for Middle Light and 520 lumens - for far. Such models produce Phillips: model code name - 12V 60 / 55W H4 LL. A similar lamp of the near light is sold by Narva, Lynx and Valeo brands. In online stores, an instance can be purchased at a price of 300 rubles.

In principle, you can spend money in the service station to replace the Middle Lights. The procedure will cost inexpensively, perhaps even cheaper than the lamp itself.

However, what prevents replacement yourself? There is nothing difficult in repair. The main thing is to clearly follow the step-by-step instructions.

Middle and Far Light Lamp

Sequence of actions when replacing the lamp in the head optics (on the example of the right headlight):

Similarly, you can change the lamp in the left headla.

Remove the lamp is worth with caution, without touching the glass surface. Touching your fingers to the flask leaves fat traces that are manifested during heating on glass. To erase the "prints", you can use a cloth, in a mixture of alcohol solution.

Running pointer lamp

The second component, which is part of the headlight polo sedan is a turn indicator lamp. Most often, the OSRAM brand lamp with code "nickname" PY21W 12V is installed on the model. If you decipher the designation, we obtain the following characteristics: voltage - 12 V, the power of the glow is 21 W. The diameter of the sample is 25 mm, the light stream reaches 280 lumens. There is a lamp several times cheaper than halogen H4 - you can buy in stores at a price of 100 rubles / pc.

The procedure for replacing the lamp of the rotation pointer is even easier than for headlight:

Lamp Gabarita

Replacing the lamp of the dimension is made similarly to replacing the rotation pointer lamp:

Several ways to improve head light

There is no excellence limit. The polo sedans can be carried out by a handicraft method several modifications of near-light headlamps, which will significantly improve the quality of the glow.

Not that the Germans "have been sitting" in terms of technical characteristics Head Polo Optics. On the contrary, Masters from Wolfsburg (together with ours from Kaluga) equipped the car with excellent durable incandescent bulbs that not to boast every car.

Therefore, if there are additional funds for attachments (modifications are much more expensive than standard analogs), you can safely experiment with light.

The easiest option for improving the head light on the polo sedan is the purchase of stronger "halogen" with an enlarged light stream. There are darkness in the market. Diversity color Gamm. And brands are the only question when choosing.

As popular samples, you can call, for example, Osram Night Breaker or Phillips Diamond Vision. The lamp light intensity exceeds a 1000 lumena mark, while the voltage and power indicators are the same as on conventional halogen lamps. The negative feature of the "fashionable" lamps concludes in a short period of operation. With long and saturated use, they can "stretch" no more than six months.

The second way implies the use of whole headlights from the Polo hatchback, to which the Germans put original factory models of the Hella brand. It has a number of "pleasant" features. For example, near and far light It employs both separately and together. When replacing the standard "haloge" to the "advanced" option, you can achieve perfect glow for the polo sedan. Minus one: you have to redo the shoe connectors or buy a special adapter.

Third option: purchase a bixenon lens and install it instead of "halogenks". Not bad, but the replacement process is too time-consuming. Not only will you have to remove the headlight, it will still need to disassemble it, screw the lens and glue the case. The most important thing is not to be mistaken in choosing and purchase a quality device. Today, the shops "Pestry" a variety of lenses. In the model "Glass" last generation With the effect of angelic eye or the devilish "OK". The pleasure is not cheap, but the excellent impression is guaranteed.

Finally, you can experience the quality of the Spanish head of the VALEO brand polo on the sedan, but the cost of the kit will interest only the most avid lovers of the head optics. On the Internet auction, the headlight can be redeeming for 15,000 rubles.

Over time, the brightness of any light source in Volkswagen Polo gradually decreases. Therefore, it is sometimes necessary to replace light bulbs of lighting devices.

Autolaspa to Middle and Far Light, dimensions, fog and turn signals on Volkswagen Polo must match the car model. Incorrectly chosen light bulbs can heat the plastic, which will lead to dullness or deformation of the headlight.

ATTENTION! Found a completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption! Do not believe? Auto mechanic with 15 years old also did not believe, until he tried. And now it saves 35,000 rubles per year in gasoline!

Varieties Avtolamp

For the POLO model, the H4 halogen lights are used, which have two filaments. In light instruments, various light bulbs are installed, which differ in parameters, forms, dimensions. The greatest indicator for the luminous flux of the near light is 820 lumens. Popular brands that produce light sources for this car are Phillips, Valeo Lynx, Narva.

The remaining elements of the lighting equipment (alarm, backlighting devices and control units) are highlighted by LEDs that have a large work resource and can be replaced as part of the node.
