I have a few cracks forming on my dash in my Polo.they are driving me insane. does any else have this issue?

Also how do I remove this panel? does it just unclip? Anyone pulled one out before?

See pic below for what im talking about



Also i have a slow coolant leak.

Does anyone know where I can find a list of coolant hoses for polo 9n3 gti? the leaking hose is in a bastard of a spot at the front of the engine. it is so fiddly I cant see a vw part number. I can only barely see the leaking hose.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
John

Mine is cracked to buggery. Not a lot you can do as I discovered the same as everyone else the that piece is not easily replaceable. Going to just put a dash mat in. Sun is so harsh here in QLD it just nails plastics.

Guys, apologies for resurrecting an old thread... So I'm very close to committing to an 06 9n3 GTI, but the one thing that is letting it down is cracks in the dash, which I just know I'm going to hate...lets face it, as a driver, it's in your face all the time. My question is, is the 9n pre facelift dash the same as the 9n3?

I know it's a pig of a job to swap but also not too keen on a cover. On that note though, are any of you running a cover? Thoughts? Thanks.

Yeah, it sounds a bit more common than I thought. My 06 that I sold early last year had no cracks, but a couple I'm looking at do. Still keen to know if the 9n dash as exactly the same.
