Fuel switch is the easy one to change :happy2:

Its a shame its such an expensive mod for somthing relativly simple :stupid:

Not for me! :ashamed:
Found it a pain to get the door cards off so had Eddie-NL switch them over while having my LED door warning lights fitted. The others are all a 10 minute job with some trim tools.

They are VERY cheap fella, the ones in the link. The ones i purchased were over £100 for a 3r set inc. Headlight switch and Fuel Flap switch.

Didnt realise it was in Dollars :grin: But the 3 Door ones are $129.99

It's meant to be possible to change the fuel flap switch without taking the door card off. I'll find out when I change all my switches after I get them for Crimbo!
-
^^^^ had this discussion with a few peeps (including Eddie-NL when he changed mine) and is "possible" if you remove all the screws (including the ones holding the handle to the door) and pop the bottom lugs out and a few up the sides and you can squeeze your hand underneath the lever the switch out. Some peeps have tried to lift the plastic surround that is around the switch put it won't lift enough as its attached to the door card from behind and will break off if forced. Is all a PITA though, easier to take the door card off.
:happy2:
-
Fair enough, I'll bear that in mind when I try and change mine.

Yeah, it was a fail (for me) as I couldn't get the lugs undone. Some may have better luck bending the door card. :ashamed:
-
holy sh*t man, because there is a little notch at the end of the normal switches I thought something would clip on and house there.
so am I right in thinking I would have to take ALL the door panels off if I bought the set ?
and what about the headlight switch, panel off again ?
also would any coding be required after install
-
No coding, and only trim off around the switches for window switches, headlight switch pops out easily and fuel switch requires the door card to come off
-
window switch on every door, is it just that bollard it sits on that pulls of then on each door
isn't the fuel switch in the middle console, sorry to cold to go outside and check
also I guess the buttons illuminate like the standard ones ?
are these easy for noob to fit
:happy2:
-
There is a guide somewhere. The fuel switch is at the back of the drivers door pocket.
Yeah these ones are the same colour as standard but you can get them from sellers in Germany to light up any colour you want.
-
thanks nodz, I will look around for the fitting thread, just concerned if I buy them it may be hard to fit for a mod noob
noticed there is 2 sets on that site with a $10 diff but look the same parts ?
dearer one says 4 door but all same parts
-
Just use "Search", everything you've every though of has already been done and posted about, but here you go...
http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,1800.0.html
and for door card removal, only needed on the drivers door for the "Fuel Flap" release switch...

As to your question regarding the different types of switches, they are from (or for) different cars. Some are from the Passat CC and IIRC the others are for the VW cars for the Far Eastern market.
-

http://www.bold-sport.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&path=43_39_62&product_id=83
and second
http://www.bold-sport.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&path=43_39_62&product_id=135
do you see any diff
-
i went with the first link you have but could both be the same yet different price so im not sure...i didnt fancy having to return them so just made ssur ei got the golfv ones...dont forget fuel switch is seperate
-
I have e-mailed them and asked the diff, they both say mk6 so I have asked them that also
regarding the fuel switch I have asked them if they would swap the mirror switch for the fuel switch as its a dearer part anyway
I bought the mirror switch last week :stupid:
-
Only difference I could see was the shape of the chrome tips. One set has more of a curve.

ahh I see that now, one set has the chrome slightly going around into the switch, they look better I think
thanks for that
