Title: retro fit armrest issues
Post by: daz5182 on October 04, 2010, 08:00:31 pm

really want one and want to know the cheapest place to get one and is it easy to fit? Any how to guides? Is it worth  doing the heater vents? I would want them working ideally.

Hi.Quite easy to fit but getting the rear air vent working is a bummer as you have to take all the centre console out.To fit a pipe that connects to another pipe that goes in to the armrest.Ebay is probably your best bet unless someone is selling one on here.http://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en&sl=da&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fvwfanatic.dk%2F
Hope this helps :happy2:

Forgot to mention you will have to go on the Golf V armrest link on the left hand side

They are a fortune.I got mine with a leather top for about £140 used.Remember when you buy one make sure it's got the air vent pipe going in to the rear vents.You will also need the pipe that goes from the front of the centre console to the armrest  :happy2:
