Folks, anyone installed a camera in a Mk2 CC? What slot in the fuse box did you use?

Thanks.

I have a DAB 510 in my Mk5 GTi at present. I just can't quite picture what the Bluetooth loom was like and if the mic was separate. It would be ideal if I could retain the factory fitted mic in the CC and connect the retrofit loom to it.

Has anyone upgraded the RNS315 in a CC to a RNS510? I'm just looking for confirmation that a separate 7P6 Bluetooth module will be required too because the 315 has it built in.

What way does the wiring work too? Will a new retrofit harness bypass the existing mic etc?

Back to square one! Decent enough car for the money, but clutch was very high and brakes didn't seem too effective. Not sure if either can be adjusted, so decided to leave it sadly.

Going to look at an 02 estate with 102k today.

If there is evidence of a leak on the rear diff is it the end of the world?! Or can the oil be changed and a new seal/bung be installed?

Is 1 more reliable than the other or not?

Jeepers, I always thought it had a chain. Does the Bora/Golf 2.8 have a chain though? I just assumed they were the same lump. With regards to checking tyre wear, if uneven front and back could it also not be down to the surfaces the owner might have driven on as you suggested? Or is it more likely t...

Perfect, thanks for that- very informative.

So is there anything I can actually check when I go to look at one?

Is there anyway easy way to check the 4wd is working and everything in place?

I thought the Passat, A4 etc operated in the same fashion. Is torsen permanent 4wd then, or just when needed? If so, what's the difference between how it engages and haldex? I assume if there's no haldex controller and its just a mechanical system, its more reliable? Do the torsen systems ever fail ...

What other cars have the same system? How does it differ to haldex?

Is the pollen filter behind the scuttle panel on the passenger side like it is on the Bora? Just a care of ensuring there's no leaves clogged under it, or how do you check?

Is the 2.8 not chain driven?

Any simple way to test the 4wd is working?

Is it the same haldex system as an A4

Folks, I'm considering a 2.8 4motion manual estate. It'll be a second car so will only do circa 4k miles a year. I'm just wondering how reliable the 2.8 is? Is there anything prone to going on them? Is a timing belt change dear? I assume the 4motion system is fairly reliable? What are they realistic...

Brilliant! Thanks very much.

Have you done it? How do you know which of those modules to pick!?

Has anyone on here successfully retro fitted highlone clocks to a car with midline?

Is this the correct procedure to remove the radio?

Does the silver trim just clip back on?

How do you do it without the SOT?

I assume the installation procedure is just the same as a Mk5 Golf? The same SOT cable is needed for example?

Is a switiched ignition feed required from the fusebox too?

Lol, i've tried that- theres still no room to get my fingers in to work at it.

Can the handle come out?

Before, but i physically cant get my hand up in to hook the cable in.

Can the rear handle come out?

Anyone ever removed and tried to re-fit a rear door lock? It would have been an hours job, but i just cannot work out how to attach the short 2" cable to the exterior door handle. My hand (and even my wifes smaller hand) is cut to pieces, but theres no way that i can see to get at it past the w...

Jony is the lock mechanism to blame for the door opening problems too??

You wouldn't happen to have the links from the websites that described the problem and how to fix it?

And the new lock definitely fixed the door opening problem? Happy days.

I had to remove the one in my driver door, and it was a total disaster of a job! I would assume the rear door is easier, as theres no key bit to line up etc. Do you have to undo the window and tape it up in the closed position, or can you work at the lock with the window up and closed just?? How muc...

Nah, the regulator in the passenger window has gone, so its not an electrical issue.

The rear door issue feels more like a mechanical problem too.
