You mad mad fool Darren  

I know you said the CAN gateways were hard to get at, but that's a bit extreme don't you think  

Top work matey, rather you than me though

Cheers guys its not has bad has you might think, apart from stripping the bolt on stuff like the headunit, glove box and cluster etc, etc.  Its a few screws that hold the dash board in place, I struggled at first to pull the dash off but once the A pillars where off it just fell out

Actually had to rope the wife in to help me lift it out cos its quite heavy , I can see why they strip them out for race use.

With all them wires it looks bad but once they are all traced and taped up it doesn't look half has bad.  I extended the xenon controller wiring, plus re-routed the mic's for the bluetooth and voice control...

I started at about 10-11am and came in at around 7:30pm with just the armrest to put back in. I replaced about 10 missing screws in the dash and centre console   and genuinely had no screws left over, in fact I need to go down to VW tomorrow to see if I can get some more to fill the ones missing.

[Greeners]

Crazy fool!! 

[goranot]

Darren..you must be a very patient well..utterly patient and Insane guy..would never even contemplate doing what you did..suppose with your expertise it's probably second nature..so much wiring will give me nightmares..

[.:GTI|SUNNY:.]

Thank you every one Jay the steering controller needs to be changed to the latest one I have 1K0 953 549 CH on order and that has to be used with the version C slip ring which I now have...Ive also fitted the version S gateway,

Darren

Bit of a resurrection this one but with all this hardware will all the buttons on the wheel work and is the cruise stalk unaffected?  

sorry to bring this up

i think all you need is a MK6 cruise control stalk to make it work (sourced from US site)
.........

Love what you have done with your car Darren, that climate control unit looks awesome, i sooo need one of those RNS 510's in my life lol

P.S: What is a "Version S Gateway"?

need some advice so PM on it's way

Well I had a trip to Huddersfield today to pick some nice seats up,  They have come out of a 2009 Golf GTD and are in excellent condition,  they really transform the drive,  It just feels like a new car again

Well Ill let the pics do the talking,  Ill take some better ones tomorrow,  by the way I still have to change the front armrest top, I also need some new door cards and rear trim but the main bits are in.

Front



Back



These are awesome seats I don't know how I've held off for so long in not getting some.

Cheers

You're in danger of having a half Mk5 half Mk6 Daz!

Top work as ever 
I hear you on that one, that's the only thing putting me off the TDI Vags, the seats are poor and look dull generally speaking. I like the GTD's you've dropped in, bit more lively.

[PND]

Nice one matey!  I was wondering if you'd got them in yet!  They look great - remember to climb up and in.. and up and out!

You'll have to keep it a bit longer now..

What's next then?

[mortygttdi]

Cheers Pete and Paul  

Paul will be looking more into hybrid turbo's, due a clutch aswell so need to start saving now

Darren

[Rob GTI]

Nice ...... what can't you make fit into a Mk 5 Golf??

[Andy]

Cheers Pete and Paul  

Paul will be looking more into hybrid turbo's, due a clutch aswell so need to start saving now

Darren

am putting a hybrid turbo in mine next year as well Daz..did yours have leather seats in before

[mortygttdi]

Yes Andy leathers in before but I was getting a bad back on long journeys and much prefered the jacaro material in the new golf especially with it been for the GTD diesel.

Ill get a loom sorted for you and get up to do that bluetooth some time soon mate.

Darren

[Andy]

Thought you had leather in yours..i was getting a bad back,then i realised mine has the lumbar suppport function .Cheers Daz looking forward to the new mod in my car

[mortygttdi]

The lumbar just didn't seem to do much help, but the GTD/GTI seats have the higher lumber at the front of the seat and the bolsters are larger I'm not moving and twisting as much
