Does anyone have any information on the difference between the part numbers on the airbag unit mounted in the steering wheel. I want to know if I can replace mine with any part number. Thanks, GP

Hi, I'm looking for a VW website I have used in the past that decodes your vehicle's VIN and tells you what equipment is fitted to the car. I don't know how I found it originally, but I ended up with a document with everything listed. Unfortunately I've lost it and now can't find the site again...

Today I removed my glovebox (RHD) in order to try and fit some footwell lights. After refitting the glovebox I noticed that the door was no longer damped as it opened, but fell like a brick! I later found a cog gear/wheel under the passenger seat which I assume is used to control the drop of...

Has anyone tackled the removal of the glovebox on the Right Hand Drive models? I have to access the BCM to fit footwell lights and apparently I have to remove the glovebox in order to get access to Plug C to fit the cable. Just wondered if anyone had any experience of this, and any tips to...

I want to install footwell lighting to the front of my UK (RHD) Golf. I can't seem to find anywhere to give me a definitive answer on where the BCM lives! Does anyone know how to find it? Also, does anyone know where the earth points are on the driver and passenger sides? Are they easily...

Anyone got any info on removal of the interior trim on the rear hatch? Nothing showing up on a search. Want to know how to get to rear of camera and hatch release catch. GP

I bought a set of LEDs to replace the halogen DRLs on my Golf VII before I took delivery. I didn't know at the time but my car is fitted with the U-shaped LED daytime running lights and also the LED sidelights. I therefore have a set of LEDs which are of no use to me and I can't return them...

Anyone know the differences between the navigation data on the MIB I and MIB II systems? Looking at the update site, the MIB I updates are 5.8GB in size, and the MIB II are 14.2GB. This would imply there are some big differences in the map data. Anyone noticed any? GP

Happy New Year all! Does anyone know if all Bi-Xenons on the Golf come with Dynamic Curve Lighting? I have a Match Edition on order, build week next week, on which I ordered the Bi-Xenons. In the price list at the time, dated 11th November, the Bi-Xenon option is £820 which states Dynamic...

Is anyone sure of where the deposit contribution comes from if you take out the Solutions finance? I have always assumed it was from VW, but overheard a salesman telling a potential customer that it was from them (the dealer) so they had to keep the finance for 6 months. I reckon that's a porky...

I applied the G1 glass treatment to my car about two months ago. I followed the instructions to the letter, and took great care in getting it right. The problem I have had since is, the wipers smear and judder so bad that they are almost unusable in light rain. They were lovely and smooth...

I've had various album art issues over the last year. Can be a real pain in the ****. This is how I got around it, and hopefully this may be useful to others having problems. I have my media arranged on my memory stick as playlists, like so: Artist A Album A...

I've been comparing a lot of other cars lately which are fitted with a Sat Nav system. I notice almost without exception, the aerials are colour coordinated. Don't you think that the Golf would look nicer with the colour coordinated aerial rather than the standard black one? I love my Golf but...

If anyone living in the Burton on Trent - Derby area would like to use my newly purchased VCDS cable, PM me for details. You'll have to bring your car to me though! GP

Does anyone know if I can get parking sensors fitted by the dealer on my new Golf? I have the rear view camera but wish I had also added the parking sensors. I would prefer to have the dealer do it rather than a third party, at least if anything goes wrong they can sort it out! GP

My new baby!! 1.4 TSi SE 122PS DSG, Pacific Blue with Discover Nav, Mirror pack, Winter pack, Rear view camera, Colour display and Front fog lights!! :D:D Wish I knew how to upload the pictures!! GP

Has anyone else registered for the text updates on the order tracker web page? I was late registering so have only just started getting updates now my car is 'in transit'. You do seem to get a bit more info about what is happening to your car, although the text on the web page does change as...

Does anyone know if the 1.4 TSI 122PS has a supercharger? I can't find a definitive answer on the VW website. It does say that the 160PS has one, but doesn't say whether the 122PS has or hasn't! :confused: GP
