The 3rd generation Volkswagen Polo is also known as the Polo Classic. Produced in 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001 with sedan and hatback bodies. This model was restyled in 1999. Accordingly, these changes also affected the electrical circuit of the car. In our material, we will show the general arrangement of the Volkswagen Polo 3 Classic electronic control units and describe in detail the fuse and relay boxes. Separately, we highlight the cigarette lighter fuse.
