What module is in your car first?

When looking at 1K0959538F, it is a midline module so no steering wheel function and is Type 2 slip ring

The slip ring has to match the control module of that is being updated to allow the wheel buttons to talk and be coded in

Mk5 General Area / Re: B6 arms for GTI

Save your money and get genuine B6 arms from ebay.  Can usually be had for about £40 a pair.

Add to those genuine B6 ball joints (around £40 each from VW) and you're good to go, and cheaper and better quality than those pattern parts.

Every bolt on the chassis except the brake caliper carrier bolts are one-time use only, so budget for those also.

Whats the part numbers please
