Armrest Retrofit Guide
« on: January 25, 2011, 10:34:17 am »
Hi guys, Mum has just text saying Armrest has been delivered so will get shooting off a little early to make it home and fit it!

I have done a search for a guide that links to another forum FULL of MK5 guides, but I click that link and it appears to be dead. Don't mind if someone want's to PM it me or anything like that?

Cheers people!

Fine with me Betty saves me having to email it out all the time, I cant take credit for the write up as I found it on a dutch website, I just translated it using a web tool and saved it as a word doc so I wouldn't loose it.

Rich, I just downloaded it so that when I fit the air vents and cup holders in the new Rocco I have the instructions to hand.

Have to say, loved the very last line of the guide "GO PLEASURE", Oh er missues, wonder what they meant  :grin: :grin: :grin:

Yeah there are some interesting translations going on, don't worry its not my lack of understanding of the English language.  Trust me after fitting the air vent in my golf there was no pleasure afterwards, just grazed hands frustration and a scrapped up handbrake cover  :fighting:  Make sure its the first thing you remove to prevent repeating my mistake!

I think it's from a danish bloke called vwfanatic, and someone has had a go at autotranslating it, several other danske (danish) words in there  :wink:

Could well be from there Jake, great guide and it was an auto translator, general gist is there but a little too literal in places hence go pleasure (go enjoy)  :grin:

Just finished this now, started at 5 and had a 30 minute tea break! What a ball ache! I don't know how people fit this without taking out the centre console??

Anyway all fitted in 3 hours hahaha but I do have rear working vents!

How have you found the fit between the center consol and the armrest itself? I can't seem to get rid of the 5/10mm gap between the two, I've had it all out to no avail  :sad1:
