    Very helpful and well-described video, thank you 🙏. I am curious why you had to replace your combination switch? I will try to replace mine because my cruise control stopped working, and I am hoping that will solve my problem.

      I had installed cruise control on my Polo so ended up changing the combi switch.

    Nice video well presented. Is there any problem when reconnecting battery ground cable does the system need to be told what battery has been fitted ?

      Hi Chris, nope nothing of that sort. Just need to re-adapt the window motors so it auto closes and opens upon the dab of the button. So we need to press the buttons of all the windows up and down twice from the driver side master window controls. That’s all.

    Hey, my entire electric steering column needs replacing and taking out on my polo. It’s a 2016 model. Can you do a video for that?

    Hi
    My combination switch relay is not working. it always high beam . Any after market switch available and what is approx. Cost ? Please advice

    • @GaneshBalan
      @GaneshBalan  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi Lokesh, the combination switch retails for 6-7k. Did you check with the service centre? I would suggest checking with these car scrap yards in your city. They will offer you a much cheaper and sensible rate. Like 2-2.5k for a used one from a scrap/ accident salvage car.

    I have vento 2013 highline, in order to retrofit cruise control, just combination swap is okay or do I need to upgrade BCM and cluster as well ??

    • @GaneshBalan
      @GaneshBalan  ปีที่แล้ว

      You’ll have to check what your BCM is. If the part number ends in 086, you’ll have to upgrade it.

    Sir, I have polo confortline 1.2L, when I crank the engine, the wipers starts automatically and stops after few minutes. What could have gone wrong?
    There is no other system which has malfunctioned.

      Yash, how old is your Polo? I am suspecting a BCM issue. Try swapping the BCM with one from a scrapyard and test.

      After reconnecting battery I have a few warning lights on. Airbag, tyre pressure and traction control. I have tried to reset but no luck and have been for a long drive. Any ideas? No issues before

    Hello Sir, I have Polo 2017 1.2 MPI (Anniversary edition) Comfortline which doesn't have cruise control, can i fit one to it. It will be good to have in highways.

    • @GaneshBalan
      @GaneshBalan  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hi Hemanth, you can install cruise control in your car. You’ll have to check what is the BCM installed in your car first as the BCM is the main component in enabling cruise control. It is located below the steering column, above the pedals. Check the last 3 digits - 086/087 and the likes. 087 supports cruise control feature. Some variants of the 086 unit supports it but have to check which one it is.

      @hemanthsonu4 Service centres don’t do these jobs Hemanth. They do the routine work of servicing and repair/replacements of stock parts. Of course, if you have a good rapport with the technicians there, you can always request their help to do it out of the service centre. Some may oblige. 🙂

      Where are you located? If it is Bangalore I can hook you up with a friend who does these retrofits.
