b7 led vent mod help please
Hi dudes, So I've ran into a snag retrofitting the b7 led vents to my b6. My plan was to run the power and ground into the connector at the rear of the light switch by simply pushing them into the requisite terminals (alongside the existing wires), trouble is it seems too tight to do so. As a result...

Re: Has anyone ever seen this???
just wondering if they traced the leak if that was what it was.
don't suppose anyone knows if the rear of an estate has drain holes that are liable to get blocked etc?

So got car back this afternoon. An advisory for the future was that some water was in the wheel well apparently. I asked if it could be condensation as I had been caught in a bad storm and the windows where steaming up, so assumed it was just ambient moisture levels building up in the car. Anyway, t...
