Paper retrieval - VW Polo

Apr 26, 2005 11 Replies

A friend of mine has lost a parking permit down the front window blower.



Is there an easy way to retrieve this without major dash dismantling?



Ta, G.


Take the heater blower matrix off the firewall under the bonnet and stick yer hand up there like a cows bottom.

Sadly, however, not to remove paper but because of a leaking heater matrix.

I just noticed that with the unit removed you could get to some of the gubbins inside.

You stuck your hand up a cow's bottom because of a leaking heater matrix? :-)

maybe a cow ate his parking permit.

as a non invesive alternative to the OPs problem, try taping shut all the other air duct outlets inside the car.only leave a tiny area open where you lost the permit. then switch the fan on max. hopefully it will be blown out. at worse you might blow off a duct or two inside the dashboard which will require much cursing with your head under the dash to reconnect.

but its worth a try

Lol, I am a bit tired and didn't get the pun... :)

Yes, I have stuck my hand up a cows bum and inside the heater system of a polo, my dad is a dairy farmer :)

The message from snipped-for-privacy@yahoo.com contains these words:

And then issued him a penalty notice.

Are you talking heaters, or cows bottoms?

So all dairy farmers have polo's then?

But you wouldn't necessarily want to suck one.

The message from "Malc" contains these words:

Polo or farmer?
