Vehicle used in these guides
UK spec, 2014yr model, Mk7 Golf Estate (GSW), GT (Highline) trim, 1.4lt TSI (140PS) CHPA petrol engine, MQ250 6speed manual gearbox, multi-link rear suspension.
Full details in each guide if they need to be adapted for the standard 3dr or 5dr hatch, 2WD or AWD, torsion beam or multi-link rear suspension, hatch or Estate/GSW.
The main reason for this is that some of the guides are getting buried way down the list & I have had a job locating them for people! So I thought it would be beneficial to create a sticky (hopefully) in one place which contains links to all of my "How to" guides.
Because my car was a "loaded" (I went mental on the options list) UK (European) GT (Highline) there are many common "How to retro-fit" guides that I did not write as those items came factory fitted eg;- Euro light switch, LED reading lights, LED licence plate lights, LED visor vanity lights, Bi-Xenon's with LED DRL's, Front fog lights, Reversing camera, Dynaudio, etc., etc.
However this still left plenty of what I consider to be "essential" items not factory fitted!! Many of these items are factory fitted if you are in France or Germany, & yet my car came out of the same German factory as theirs!!
This proves that your country's importer are the ones who state the cars specification & many items they do not bother offering to buyers in the price lists etc... (not enough demand, marketing etc).
