Hey All
Quick question.
I have removed the silver plastic VW boot badge from my car (09 Model Mk5) as it had a small crack which annoyed me :fighting:
Just called the stealers and they have said that the badge cant be sold separately as it forms part of the boot handle :stupid:
The plastic badge shows a part number of 3C5827469 which I believe is the part number for the complete assembly :rolleye:
Has anyone been able to source only the badge and not the complete mechanism? the badge simply clicks into the mechanism and is not stuck on.
Thanks in advance :happy2:
-
Secondhand is best bet otherwise.
I sold complete unit for 40 quid last week.
Try ebay???
-
Thanks mate
I just found it strange that they expect to sell a whole unit when the badge is detachable especially seeing that these were desirable at one point for theft.
Ebay it is :happy2:

I have a brand new mk6 chrome badge here but i dont think it will fit
Pity!!

Hi mate
I was looking at Part Number 5K0853630B ULM which I think is the Mk6 Badge
They both look the same and both measure 110mm, I've just ordered one from VW as the car is booked in for a service so fingers crossed this could fit :chicken:

Nope it don't fit, despite both being 3D there is a very very small unnoticeable bevel to the badge which causes it to pop off. Both are the same size with the same clips it's just the bevel that causes it not to fit.
Unbelievable :fighting:
-
Thanks for the update.... Damn!
Have to put up with the bit of white worm till I can find a decent Mk5 badge at a reasonable price .....
-
am due to take mine off shortly, if it comes off in one piece will happily sell it :-)

Cheers! If you get it off in one piece and it's white worm free - I'm definitely interested. :smiley:

You need a complete boot lock assembly mate...
Yours is the earlier boot lock

Looking good Dazza!!
:happy2:
-
Neat!
-
Thanks guys is it supposed to stick out that far? The old one sits a bit flusher.
-
Looking closely at the pic, it does stick out a little further. I didn't notice till you pointed out. Doubt it'll be noticed on the car though.

I bought a mk6 badge from eBay and fitted it to the mk5 mechanism within 10 minutes , looks decent IMHO

That does look nice.
I purchased a Mk6 one from VW but it would'nt fit albeit the fixing tabs were in the exact same place.
Your one is rounder or beveled towards the edges, where as my one has a flatter longer surface area.
Driving me mad it is :fighting:

It will fit, that I guarantee. What VW did on some of the last mk5 handles (and ones on the passat) was to change the base of the handle so it has little wedges so to speak around the edge- these make clipping the badges back on a pain in the arse but you can just cut a few off and the badge will clip on nicely. I have fitted mk6 badges to early and late mk5 handles so know it can be done - good luck :)

:sick: :sick: :sick: :sick:
All because of 1 small crack and a bad case of OCD :signLOL:
Here are the 2 badges: 1 on the left is the Original: Part No: 3C5827469
The one on the right is the Mk6 Variant Part Number 5KO853630A.
Both are the same size despite the picture showing otherwise.

Here is the offending Boot Handle :fighting: Ignore the Carbon Sticky as i'm experimenting as Ill be fitting an OSIR Carbon Rear diffuser.

On top of each other :wink: perfect match in terms of width and depth
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi778.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fyy70%2FV2FAN%2Fphoto4_zps5336f7e5.jpg&hash=0b8627e9964364bfede538ac491ec04fb8b89e4c)
All the lugs and raised plastic stickers are in the same place albeit I snapped every lug off the Mk6 badge just to prove its not the lugs.
Top end pops in whilst the bottom end refuses this is the same when i get the bottom to fit then the top wont.
Seriously this is such an easy task but WTF is it not fitting :signLOL:
-
Yep as I thought it is indeed the same base as the mk6 handle, so yes the badge will fit straight on unlike going to an older mk5 base where most of the clips would need removing.
I'm not sure how they fit the badges new but trying to fit yourself is tricky. If you get a Stanley knife and slice off a few of the wedge bits that stick up around the edge (about 6 of them I think, so take a couple off) it will allow you push the badge on, it does clip very tight - hence your problems - can be done though :happy2:
(just for reference below right is what mk5 handle backs were normally like, until they change to your style on the left)

Many thanks I'll get working on this right away :happy2:

no worries matey, just sorry it didn't come off in one piece :scared:

Sorry to drag an old post up.... My new mk6 badge is being a right pig, when you say trim a couple of tabs off, do you mean on the actual boot part (on the side) or trim some of the plastic away from the actual badge.
Properly p£&@ing me off!!!!
(Right thread this time lol).

Up for the day peeps...

Anyone?!

So if I brought a mk6 vw badge that would fit my mk5 boot badge with abit of cutting?
-
The tabs on the back of the badge
I removed them all apart from the large one in the middle and mines not moved a mm since
-
I removed all of the tabs in the end but didn't make any difference. It still only clips down 80% of the way around.

Can you post a pic so we can get an idea ?

It there a gap or does it fit flush?

This is the badge in question:

As you can see, all tabs removed.
Heres the boot badge:

Sorry, black on black isn't easy to shoot in this weather.

Sorry but which tabs have you removed?

The tabs on the actual badge... I removed the lip on 2 cutouts.
I didn't want to ruin the handle without being 100% certain.

Ok so all the little tabs in the back of the badge you removed? Sorry for a thousand questions lol
-
Yep, all snapped off

Mine doesn't sit 100% flush but I doesn't really make a difference when the badge is in its normal position anyway
I left the big tab on though, you may have to secure yours with some sticky stuff

Wounder....
Thought it would at least fit flush. Might use it as a temp and get the original painted up.

Sorry for dragging up an old thread, but new member and this seems the most appropriate thread for my question!
I found this on eBay
http://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/331047036163
And I'm wondering if it will fit on my 07 plate edition 30? From what I've read I should be able to take off the old one and fit this straight to the boot closing mechanism while still on the car??
Cheers in advance for any help.
-
How much? Yes it will fit. will have to remove a couple of the plastic pins on the rear

4ndy, thanks for the reply. It's £30.90 delivered, is that a good price? So will it just clip on or will I have to stick it on?
Cheers.

Will need double sided foam tape 1mm thick 5mm wide £30 is a bit steep I'm sure you can find one on ebay. Black ones are easier to find

I'll keep looking for a cheaper one then. Good to know it will fit though. I've got a black one at the moment on a black car, but I'm a big fan of the chrome on black combo!

have you thought red on black??

That does look real good mate, is it a MK6 emblem? I still can't get the chrome on black out of my head. It's nothing to do with it being stock, I just love the way it looks. I also think a brushed aluminium style would look amazing as well, but can't seem to find an example of that anywhere.
Have you done the front badge red as well? Be interested to see how that looks.
Cheers.
-
yep mk6, since it is more 3d and splits so much easier
-
It looks good, I definitely got to get one. Did you replace the whole mechanism or just put a MK6 badge onto a late MK5 mechanism? If so where did you buy your MK6 badge from? And what did you use to attach it? Sorry for all the questions in one go!
Cheers, Rob.
-
complete handle, got a 2nd hand one of ebay for £30, then sold my old one.....
-
Finally got round to fitting a mk6 badge yesterday, really like the look of the bevelled edges and a big fan of the chrome on black. Didn't have to use any adhesive tape in the end. Just clipped off as many of the tags on the back as I had to and pushed it into place. Quick easy and simple little mod but one worth doing I think.
