I'd not seen many DSG without highline, I think it may have become standard at some stage.

Easiest way to see if you need it is to look at the plug on the steering controller.  Black & White wire, it's the only one in there.

Think the wiper motor is the hardest part by a long long way.
Bet there is a knack to it, but I couldn't work it out. Brute force & ignorance.

VrStu - is it ok to assume that retro fitting paddle shift & mfsw will be ok on an early dsg?
Just wondering about the steering wheel controller.
No Golf anymore. 
Enjoyed the last five years of ownership of Mk5 & 6 GTIs.
Plus an excellent forum for knowledge and new ways to deplete the bank account.
Thank You Everyone.

My DSG is a late 08 model, and i only have the mid-line. So i dont think it came part of the standard spec at any time.  :happy2:

I think the steering wheel controller will likely be ok if you've fitted CC already.

Went to the dealer today, and they told me they wanted £85 for the kit, plus fitting charge ( said he had to check with the technician to see how long it would take/cost!

I have a 55 plate DSG GT TDI, with mid-line clocks and no MFSW... so does this mean that they would have to fit a new steeringwheel control box?

Hi guys

Just for a bit of info on cruise fitting.

If the car is either diesel or DSG equipped you dont need to fit the wire but all others you do. M.Y. does not change this.

the one you want from me supports cruise as well as the Paddle shift.  depending when your car was made will determine if you need the wire too
