Golf mk7 climatronic in mk6 Golf

[brookesb32]

Hi all

Stumbled across this which I am now contemplating doing, and even if I don't I thought it might be use to the growing mk6 group of owners - plus theoretically mk5 owners who have upgraded their climate to the mk6 version

You can change the panel - nice and easy switch over  with just a new fascia

What do people think style wise - I'm in two minds which I prefer

Current mk6 climatronic



New mk7 type, slight difference it seems (and late mk6 and other models I believe) climatronic

In this model the hot and cold bars light up too - pics from good old google so thanks to their authors



Thoughts on a postcard

Every thing comes from people with vision - I see a member with vision 

Let's see it fitted and working!

[wigit]

the later one is way better to use, the earlier mk6 one is just not intuitive when you are on the move, the later is more like the mk5 in operation and all the better for it

[brookesb32]

I would love to say it have vision but looks like plenty of people have done it already in Italy and Australia 

I didn't even know they had a later version but I agree it does look more like the mk5 which I used to like a lot.

Oddly looking at the mk7 pics most have a rubber around the dials but I rather like the silver - which is also I'm the Passat cc from research

Yeah I was going to the same thing, looks like almost a return to mk5 style. I've seen a few Golf convertibles, Sciroccos and CCs with the mk7 climatronic

Well if it looks like the MKV that puts me in Vogue for the first time whoop whoop!

Have you seen it in the flesh? Looks good quality from the pics

Do you do the hand moves? Lol


On the upside if I did upgrade I could sell my heated seat version current panel and trim - for all those mk5 owners wanting an upgrade

So where can you get the Mk7 Climatronic panel from?

[brookesb32]

Interestingly just saw that from a seller on eBay - checking though as there seems to be two versions, and one says A/C max and the other Max A/C. Not a big thing but big difference in prices on their page

So where can you get the Mk7 Climatronic panel from?

eBay, dealers, bold sport, and also seen one on cars-equipment.com but part number a little different - they gig a few models

If you have a look on Bold Sports web page it lists 3 versions.

Ok found one.  

[brookesb32]

I think that the ones without auto recirc have the rubber surround of the knobs and the others have chrome

This eBay dealer is the one I am checking with as has two listing as mentioned in previous post

[ebay]141174833179[/ebay] which is only about £130

[ebay]141081332594[/ebay] which is more like £370

Fair play its all fitted but looks out of place in mk5 dash to be honest
