Hey, bold sport in the US sell the silver tipped Mk VI switches, they sell two variations. One classed as OEM, the other I guess a replica.

Has anyone bought the non OEM switches from these guys? I can't see them being much different. It works out at about £30 difference in price.
Anyone?
:happy2:
-
If you read the descriptions next to the pic where it says manufacturer both links say VW OEM.. Ones called passat cc and the other is KW 4. Not sure what the differences are, probably from different vehicles but I am getting the cheaper ones in the next few weeks
-
there certainly not replica switches mate there all OEM, have bought various things from boldsport very happy with service all high quality items
-
Cool, just such a big difference in price between the two sets, even though, they are of the same description. God knows what the difference is in, I did e-mail them and ask them. Thanks guys, I'll get ordering :)
-
Let us know what they say if they reply to your email
-
I have bought and fitted the cheaper version and am very happy with them.
And the filler flap release :wink:
-
Do the cheaper switches still gave the one touch operation of the window can't believe joe cheap they are ch module works out 75 quid cruise stalk 25 quid

Yes :happy2:

Good news then Nad :congrats:
-
Those who have ordered things already from these guys roughly how long did it take to arrive?
Some good bargains on there :party:

I'm liking the look of these and the price. I have a GT TDI with auto lights and no folding mirrors so I guess I'd be ordering 'automatic' and 'without power fold function'?
What is the trigger wire?

Thats what I ordered.
I think the trigger wire is for DRLs, I didn't order that,

The chrome tips are different on some of the switches. Perhaps updated so price difference.
I've bought switches ,leds off these guys and only took 6 days from HK
OEM quality.99.9% of everything in the universe is made in HK :signLOL:
-
Shame they only have the more expensive option for the 2 door's otherwise I was thinking of ordering :sad1:

Might get some of these for my 3dr Eddy. Still cheaper than the VW Dealers I bet. :happy2:
-
I ordered the more expensive passat cc version from them a while ago, just not fitted them yet.
Not sure what difference is though.

Yep....they are,just paid £112 inc vat from TPS ,But, i was impatient and had them same day.10 min to fit aswell
-
^^^^ nice one! :happy2:
Ordered the more expensive ones from Bold Sport plus the Fuel Filler Switch for that same price, let's hope they turn up!
-
10min to fit did u not take door cards off?
-
Fitted mine today appear to be gen vag parts with stickers etc also did my exit lights all sweet now
-

I hadn't got petrol flap switch so didn't need to, the drivers side switch housing just pulls off and passenger door handle splits apart to reveal window switch,took me longer scrounging the twin blade trim tool to remove the switch from the housing off the VW techs next door to my work than too fit.
-

It can be done, thats how I did mine :happy2:
-
Fitted the switches from Bold Sport today and they are OEM ones with all the window, headlight, and mirror functions working as they should. Still need to figure the Fuel Cap switch out though, seems to be a door card off jobbie! :surprised: (sorry, iPhone pics!)

Very nice. I've only put the fuel switch (non door card removal method) and light switch in but plan on getting all the others in time.
ps Dont buy the LEDs off Boldsport as they don't work and they swear bling that they do :rolleye:

Take all the door card screws out and ease the bottom of the card away from the door about 100mm
lying on your back you can get your hand inside with a small screwdriver and remove the switch easily
Did this to save breaking the plactic fixings .
-
^^^^ nice one, thought as much! Tomorrow's job then.
:happy2:
-
Happy days, :happy2: sounds easier !
-
I've got the 3 passenger door switches arriving soon. Hopefully these will be as easy as the fronts
Took me 15 minutes to get the light switch changed :signLOL:
-
^^^^ 15 minutes........ without the "how to" guide on the passat switches and how to remove the light switch it would have taken me hours to figure that one out! :laugh:
-
Not only do we have the same IQ but we also have sausage fingers :signLOL: :signLOL:
-
^^^^ yeap! :laugh:

I really want these!
