Volkswagen Polo Service & Repair Manual: Fiber-Optic Cable, Assembling
| Special tools and workshop equipment
required |
| Fiber-Optic Conductor Repair Set -VAS6223A- |
| Hose Cutting Pliers -VAS6228- |
| Vehicle Diagnostic Tester |
| It is very difficult to find the exact location of the
problem. Replace the damaged fiber-optic cable and lay a new
wire parallel to the defective fiber-optic cable. |
 Note
| Select the damaged fiber-optic cable components with the
“Guided Fault Finding” or “Guided Functions” from the Vehicle
Diagnostic Tester menu options. |
| A fiber-optic cable that needs repair is represented by a
“yellow” color. |
| – |
Choose “Guided Fault Finding” or “Guided Functions” in the
Vehicle Diagnostic Tester. Refer to Vehicle Diagnostic Tester. |
| – |
Assemble the fiber-optic cable. Refer to
→ Chapter „Fiber-Optic Cable, Assembling“. |
Caution
| Do not bend the fiber-optic cable too much. The
bending radius must be no less than 25 mm. |
| Fiber optic cables must not be routed over sharp
edges. |
| The fiber-optic cable must not be dirty or touched
with bare fingers. |
| Fiber optic cables may not be heated. |
| It is not permitted to twist together 2 fiber optic
cables or one fiber optic cable with a copper wire. |
| Protect the connector and the connection box from
dust. Place the cap on the trunk. |

| The brass pin contact must not be able to be removed by hand
from fiber-optic cable. |
| The front surface of the fiber-optic cable is 0.01 to 0.1 mm
behind the brass pin contact (visual check). |
Note
| Connector couplings are available for connecting the
fiber-optic cables. Refer to Parts Catalog. |
| To install the new fiber optic cable in wiring harness
connector. Refer to
→ Chapter „Fiber-Optic Cable, Disconnecting from Wiring Harness
Connector“. |
