Hi Craig, I'm Al the owner of Big As Auto Repair in St Charles Mo.
I look forward to helping you with your problem!
2 things could be happening here. (1) I'm not sure how many miles is on your engine but the "Crankcase Ventilation Area" OR PCV valve could be restricted causing back pressure. Try blowing shop air through the hose coming off the valve cover and see if it has back-pressure, also check the PCV to see if its restricted. If the crankcase ventilation is OK then we move to the second possible issue. (2) You'll need to preform a "Cylinder Leak Down Test" to see if you have blow-by and where it is coming from, sense you have oil pushing out of the dip-stick-tube I would say its most likely coming from the oil pan area. The things that can cause this is, Bad Rings OR Blown Head Gasket.
NOTE: The only other thing you might check is if there is to much oil in the engine, excessively over full can cause this as well. If you need further assistance go to my website here:

How do i find a reverse light switch on the gearbox
On most cars it's built into the shifter linkage, usually closer to the shift lever than to the transmission. I don't know of anybody who puts the reverse light switch right in or on the transmission - that would require a sealed switch rated for a harsh environment, which costs more and is unnecessary given the more benign environment of the shift lever is available. Look for wires going there and follow them.
How do i find a reverse light switch
stick or auto?
no matter, both are on the transmission.
the A/T switch name (best) is PRNDL
say prendle.
when the shifter is in R, the PRNDL R contacts close and the lamps glow. its just a switch. no magic or computers or CAN-BuS comms.
Volkswagen Polo 1.4 Automatic. I can't move when engaged into drive or reverse. What can be the problem please?
This will likely take a diagnosis by a professional mechanic. The problem has about 4 different possible causes and I can't eliminated them for you. 1. The hydraulic pump might have not been installed correctly. 2. Your transmission fluid might be low. 3. The transmission might have been damaged before or during the pump replacement. 4. The solenoid pack that regulates the flow of fluid in the valve body might be faulty causing the transmission to malfunction. I am sorry to tell you that Volks wagons are expensive to work upon. I will mention that in another brand of Japanese car, a bad interlocking solenoid could be bypassed by pressing a button or jamming a wire in it to keep it depressed and the car would shift gears then. A mechanic might say the assembly might have to be fixed when only the solenoid had to be replaced. But as some of the potential causes are likely to ruffle a mechanic, depending if stay with the one that changed the pump, I don't want to "stir" trouble and my last comment may be totally useless. Sadly, you will have to make use of a professional mechanic experienced with Volkswagons. This is going to sting and I am truly sorry for your predicament. You never know your luck. Maybe it is low transmission fluid.

Hello I have a 1997 Volkswagen Polo Playa.
Question edited into written English, well as far as I could :>D You saw *we* tested but we didn't "U tested my battery it read 12.5". "I tasted my fuse box". What did it taste like?
Number one tip, NEVER disconnect batteries. They will last a couple of weeks or more even if they are weak.

Voltage is one thing, but batteries need to be load tested as well. If you remove battery leads the lead posts and connectors oxidize. Clean the connectors with a wire brush and smear them with Vaseline to stop oxidization and improve continuity.
Radios only need voltage to run and not 'amps' as in current, not amplifiers.
Some battery positive connectors have a large 60 Amp fuse in the positive battery lead, mine is Yellow. Look for that as it would cause total power failure.
If all fails, call out a mobile auto electrician.
