Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

    first post, electrical issues vw polo 2007 gti

    Hi Guys,

    Apologies if this isn't in the correct section. Very new to this.

    I have a vw polo 2007 gti. Lately ive noticed the headlights losing voltage when I steer generally at almost stand still speeds. Ive also noted the indicator when indicating making the headlights dim in rhythm. The headlights at times will brighten and dim depending on the revs.

    Any ideas as to the issue? Any help would be much appreciated

    Cheers Tim

    Could be a bad earth somewhere, possibly under the dash.
