what i did was to get the aerial plugs in your hand,and carefully push the centre metal part of the plug out of the plastic part.  You should be left with 2 bare metal plugs, and two plastic shrouds with 2 very small metal circlips inside (brass coloured).

I just fitted mine and secured the leads using a very small tie wrap to the fan aperture.  No problems in operation.

Either this or buy the proper converter from VW for about £20.

As above,i just popped the plastic fakra connectors off, leaving the metal connectors underneath which fit perfectly onto the RNS

Believe me, it's a very easy thing to do.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

You only need to remove one of the plastic housings. The other fits straight on.
