My little MK5 2.0TDI R-line build thread
Christiank:
Recieved my new front window modules 701/702 Q motors with MAX electric module.
Christiank:
So... Part 2 on my door module swapping!
After fitting the Gen. 3 MAX modules my drivers side window didn't work and the mirror adjustment wasn't right.
Bought some Gen. 2 MAX modules and the passenger side controller just arrived yesterday along with some some brand new VW door looms for the front doors. I did make my own door cord loom for the passenger side aswell since I the earth wire had to be splitted to door warning lights and interior doorhandle light.
Think my own loom came out pretty good actually :) All labeled and wrapped in cloth tape to look like an OE installation.
Have to wait for some new leds to fit the doorhandle since I don't think the VW Toureg solution gives enough light. So I'll install a 3mm led in the bottom of the doorhandle. Should arrive first thing next week.
Christiank:
Some more stuff...
Really need to get some of it mounted soon :evilgrin:
So the plans for now will be to order new doorhandles to complete the indoor interior doorhandle retrofit to all 4 doors. Ordered som new genuine door entry light instead of the LED ones from eBay.. They are to bright and gives a stupid light spread - atleast that what I think. So will be going with OE ones fitted with a Osram 4000k LED bulp instead. Have these 4000k Osram bulp installed in all the cabin light, footwell lights and glovesbox - They really do give a good light there's not to bright like the 6000k is.
Also should be getting the cable sets and the MK7 side assist sensors next week. - Then I can close that retrofit also. - Already got the indicators and Canbus replaces to newest "AS" revision.
Bought an active TMPS so I can mount that along with the side assist. Just need sensors for the wheel before this will work. And I wont get that before I decide which wheel to go with. All I know is that they have to be 18'' and gloss black hehe.
Small progress in my NQSBBK front & rear setup + susspension.
Should be getting some B6 alloy hubs next week so they will be cleaned up when I get them and putted with all the other stuff waiting to be installed. Decieded to go with a Bilstein B12 kit. So I'll order that along with new GTI anchorplates and SKF wheelbearings soon. Hopefully I'll get to complete this soon though - won't be installing any of it before all is ready to on the car. Won't install new coilcovers first to get some else mounted 2 weeks after hehe.

Sorry for all the pictures is turning... Not sure why it does this when I upload them? They are the right way on my laptop? :thinking:
Anyway.. Tried to install some interior doorhandle lights.. All parts from a VW Toureg. This was just a test. Not sure where I'll have the exact placement of the light. Did put the light closer to the handle on the other side to see what looked must natural.
Think it came out great, and I'll be doing this to all 4 doors once I have decide the placement of it in the doorhandle

Do you have the part numbers for the Touareg parts you used?
I've been looking to do this myself and couldn't decide to use parts from another car or just use a 3mm eBay led :laugh:
