Luke's GTI Build Thread - Update June 2018
ducman77:
Good stuff Luke!!
I never thought of doing it that way.
I have a version C on my car and was thinking about replacing it with an R. But because it seems to be working fine I couldn't really justify swapping it out :ashamed:
I'm going K04 in the next while and so maybe I'll do exactly as you've done and fit the R and keep the C for spares :happy2:
What revision was the one you removed?
And if you don't mind me asking what did the revision R cost you in the end??
Did you get it from VW Ireland or online?
Cheers,
Dave

Thanks Dave,
I actually picked it up from a seller on here as he blanked his off so I got it for €55.
My old one was a Rev C and still working fine.
I've noticed my breather pipe might need to be changed due to some internal coking p.no. 06F 103 235 but it looks like the 2005 model breather pipe requires no check valve and is just plastic whereas the new ones have a check valve with stainless steel piping. It's €40 for a 9" length so I'm holding off for now to see if I can find an older version.

Excellent work Luke :happy2:
It's amazing how often the poxy door modules fail :confused:
Looks like you made quick work of the door panel on/off. Like Mr Miagy :smiley: :happy2:
It's a pity some of the parts prices are so daft :confused:
Still,,, much better than Renault :happy2:
Good luck with the pipe hunt :happy2:

It's not the first time, I recently did the same job on another golf that was in a collision which bent the support frame jamming the window in the open position!
Hours work now on and off with plenty of cursing of course :signLOL:
I found the breather pipe. €13 all in so I'll pick it up shortly!
