has anyone got a mk 3 polo? i feel really embarrased to be asking but can anyone tell me where my fuse box and relays are located? ive checked under the hood, steering wheel and dashboard but there's just no sign of it.

The fuses *are* under the bonnet - right in the back right-hand corner as you look at it from the front. Not all of the relays are there though, there's apparently a bank of them behind the dash fascia as well.

relays up under the dash behind the glovebox (RHD),
fusebox t'other side of the scuttle to your battery.

got a problem ?

thankyou. found them. it was my fault i was looking for a proper fuse box, didnt realise it was something similar to what you get in an old beetle with the old type fuses in it. pretty much all the relays are located behind the lower part of the glovebox, only problem on mine is thats where unendless amounts of water keeps pouring in everytime it rains.
Has anyone any idea where this could be coming from? the window seals are fine and there is a hole either side of the section under the bonnet where the wiper motor sits to drain water away. Should there be guide tubes in these holes to direct the water away fron the inside of the car? mine has wires for the steroe going through these holes and im wondering if that is whats causing the water to run down under the dashboard into the footwell?

water should run down the holes at the ends and towards the side
repeaters and i 'think' there should be another drain below your heater matrix
dead in the centre of the bulkhead, give your scuttle a good clean out,
they rot out under the battery if not kept clean so you may have a hole
under your fusebox, might have to hit it with a hose and see what happens ?
