I downloaded a fitting guide a while back, its for the vr6 but they should be very similar (same part number)

Its also a 170 mile round trip for me, so that kind of made me stop being lazy and decide to fit it myself!

Just had a look at that fitting guide and its put me off doing it myself. I'm weighing up the pro's and con's though.

Pro's: Don't have to travel to JBS, satisfaction of fitting it myself, saves myself Â£80.

Cons: More chance of it breaking/not working, better job will be done at JBS.

Wish i had a mechanically minded mate to help me fit it.

It does look like a lot of work at a first glance, but it's actually pretty detailed instructions.

I'm gonna take a photo or two before disassembling just in case!

Well i don't know about you guys but i found this site that has the same kit but with different coding for each car, eventhough it is the same kit ????

Have a look

45106s Volkswagen 98-99 New Beetle
45106d Volkswagen 93-99 Jetta IV VR6
45106f Volkswagen 93-99 Golf III/IV VR6
45106g Volkswagen 93-99 GTI VR6
45106h Volkswagen 93-99 Bora VR6
45106j Volkswagen 1999 Cabrio
45106k Volkswagen 93-97 Passat VR6

So which one is it ????I'm buying from the U.S. but would hate to get the wrong kit....

P.S.Btw...i hope you noticed that kit is there for 160$ U.S....How much is that in GBP ????

good point! $160

$160 sounds ace but you have to think about Shipping and Handling plus if something happens to go wrong with it your up s**t creek in getting a refund. Plus that wont come with the modification for the Polo.

BTW $160 = Â£85 approx

Well anything you buy of the net has that risk.Imagine if you couldn't find it in the UK you would be FORCED to order from the US with the agreed above mentioned risks.

And another thing.By modification you mean the hole drilling that was previously suggested??I agree, but would you seriously pay ~60 pounds extra for a simple hole ????!!!!!

dont forget there's the chance of paying import duties and taxes if you get your parcel stopped....

that would bump up the price!

Didnt know we had to all phone idervidually. I got the impression that once we had the 10 or what ever it was, Josh would call them to sort it out, then we'd phone with card details ect.
