Title: Climate Control Mod
Post by: ianv5 on April 16, 2012, 02:12:23 pm

As above, I have a 2005 Golf Gti with Climate control, however mine does not have the dual function as per this one

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MK5-GOLF-GTI-CLIMATE-CONTROL-HEATER-CONTROLS-PANEL-1K0-907-044-BD-1K0907044BD-/170779673885?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item27c343051d.

I just wondered if it is just a simple replacement job or do I need additional wiring for the dual function?

As far i am aware, it is possible to do but takes alot of time and hassel. Have to take majority of the front dash out to get behind there for wiring etc. but im sure someone can explain in futher depth for you

I looked in to doing this and i was told it would be a dash out job, you would need alot of parts, loom and tbh wouldnt be much better than what ive already got, if you had a full donor car then yes worth doing but buying all the parts seperate would make it cost a bomb

If you have climate panel already then that part will be a straight swop, however you wont get anything extra from fitting the part in the ebay auction apart from an extra button, you can already set the dual function y holding the auto button down which will make both sides temperature adjust with the drivers temp control.  That is all the dual button does.

Thanks learnt something new today! Will try it out tomorrow, so no need to change controls!
