i coulda told you it was going to go that way. stealers are a nightmare and normally sh*t themselves when something out of the blue turns up. There normally trick is "computer says no" then the whole site goes into meltdown.

I would have done your install for you and i'm only in Accrington! ;)
Cheers Jay, guess i should have asked for any locals for assistance first, oh well, it's sorted now, chalk that one off to experiance.

Have you ever installed cruise on a GTI? Might think about that next!

i had a nightmare with mine, basically because i had a differing steeringwheel control module, but in your ed30, you should be fine! ;)

I always get my quotes from a VW delaer who advertises on ebay. Member name jcbvolkswagen.

I just email part numbers and ask for a price, or if I can't find the part number, I send a description and he comes back with a p/n and price pretty quick. The service is always excellent and it means I don't have to go out of my way to get to the dealers. I suggest anyone that wants to get OEM parts from a dealer does the same too  :happy2:

Aswome is a great garage but they have your pants down on lots of products.  :booty:


....Does the awesome Sarah's boyfriend know about you and her pulling pants down yet, TC?  :evilgrin:

I'm a lucky son of a gun - My VW dealer's parts guy is a VeeDub enthusiast and knows his stuff and anything he doesn't know he finds out and calls me back about.

my local place wouldn't belive me that R32 front brakes would fit the Ed30, I have pointed out now on 3 occassions they have lost sales.
