Ah, great - thanks.
As my reversing lights have stopped working since I reassembled the dashboard, I imagine the smaller connector is for those.

Mysterious connectors
Hi all, I found these two connectors, not connected to anything, under the gear lever gaiter of my B3. The wires on the larger one go forward, and backwards from the smaller one. Anyone know what they're for? I assume it's something to do with an auto box, but not sure. Cheers http://i63.tinypic.com...

Re: Mk1 Octavia VRS interior into B3
You're right dude - if they were a fairly simple job I might have taken a punt but I think I'll give them a swerve.

Mk1 Octavia VRS interior into B3
Just been made aware of a bargain VRS interior near me, what do you think are the chances of this fitting easily into my B3 estate?

GT kit emergency question!
Hi all - does anyone know where I can get hold of the lips that attach the GT kit's sill covers to the body?
These are what I'm talking about (pic stolen from another post):
Thanks!

Re: Steel sunroof question
Right, I've got hold of a B4 glass sunroof and I'm going to create a hybrid B4/B3 steel sunroof with the B4 internals. I'll let you know how I get on!
This happens after it gets its new sills next week, though...

Re: Steel sunroof question
Speaking as a long-term Corrado owner as well as a B4 owner, you DO NOT want a Corrado sunroof in your car. They are notoriously unreliable, usually will tilt but not slide and end up being replaced with Golf or Passat B4 units. I have never had a problem with the glass B4 unit. Thanks for the tip....

Steel sunroof question
Does anyone know if the sunroof mechanism from a Corrado is the same as the Passat B3?
I'm needing new cables and probably runners but can't get hold of B3 parts, but there are loads of Corrado sunroofs on eBay.

Re: B4 upgrades for B3s
Right, cheers for all that! All I was looking for was mods for my B3 Estate but it seems there isn't that many.
Having thought about it I'm going to avoid the leather swap because I really like the GT cloth and it's in reasonable condition - just needs a clean-up.
Thanks,
Spurt

Re: B4 upgrades for B3s
I've got a standard GT 16v Estate. I've got a pretty good idea what I want to do engine-wise, just a mild tune really - filter, exhaust, maybe kr cam. Elsewhere, coilovers and new rims and fix the sunroof and heater, and that's about it. It's in good nick so don't want to take it to far from origina...

B4 upgrades for B3s
Hi all, total newbie to Passats but I got hold of a nice B3 wagon last week. My first thought when buying a car is what upgrades from newer models can be used to upgrade it. With the B3 and B4 being so similar, I wondered if there were any worthwhile upgrades to be had from the newer model? Cheers S...

Thanks for the welcome. Quick replies: Yes, it's the car off eBay. I'm in Frome, Somerset. And thanks for the tips Matt, I'll certainly be checking out the heater. I love the old steel sunroofs though so I'll trying to save it if possible. The car has quite a lot of leaves, twigs, crumbling foam and...
