Part: Fuse box

Is the cigarette lighter on your VW Polo not working? Here’s how to change the fuse inside the fuse box. Open the cover, then use a plastic lever to detach the trim located on the dashboard to the left. Next, remove the cover. Use needle-nose pliers to pull out the damaged fuses from the compartment. Once this is done, insert the new fuses into the appropriate slots in the compartment. Close the fuse box inspection cover with the trim cap. Test the cigarette lighter by turning on the ignition. Use the ignition key.
