#1: AAAARRRRGGHH! Author: rudymason, Location: walesPosted: Wed Jun 01, 2011 6:57 am ---- ok so just bought a few things from the scrappy, new dials which dont work as there are two plugs in the back of the new one (black fascia) and mine only has one plug(white fascia) so first thing im wondering is there any way of adapting the new one to the old one
Secondly bought a gti steering wheel for a fiver its in wicked nick but dont think itll fit mine as i havent got mine off yet but where the 2 holes to remove the airbag from the new one are , there arent any on mine, does this mean there's no way to fit it??
Thanks for any info and advice

#3: Re: AAAARRRRGGHH! Author: rudymason, Location: walesPosted: Wed Jun 01, 2011 7:01 am ---- its an 04 1.4 S model and is multiplexed
Also so my only oprtion would be to swap the fascias and dials??
#4: Re: AAAARRRRGGHH! Author: rudymason, Location: walesPosted: Wed Jun 01, 2011 7:10 am ---- and also is it possible to have an adapter to use gti autofolding mirrors on a non gti?? if not how can it be done??
#5: Re: AAAARRRRGGHH! Author: Harry, Location: StaffordPosted: Wed Jun 01, 2011 7:17 am ---- What year was the car you removed it from? preplex is pre 2001 so if it was before then then the steering wheel will not fit.
Yes it is possible but it requires a lot more work than a adapter
#6: Re: AAAARRRRGGHH! Author: rudymason, Location: walesPosted: Wed Jun 01, 2011 7:22 am ---- the one i took it from was a 03 plate gti , it had all the sp stuff etc so i would thought it would be the same :S and ok what else do you need is it the switch to enable you to autfold them ??
#7: Re: AAAARRRRGGHH! Author: Harry, Location: StaffordPosted: Wed Jun 01, 2011 7:25 am ---- Then they will both have the clip on airbag type so will fit. Unless you get pictures can't really help anymore.
I don't know I haven't done it myself but yes you need the switch and a fair bit of wiring if I remember correctly.
#8: Re: AAAARRRRGGHH! Author: rudymason, Location: walesPosted: Wed Jun 01, 2011 7:37 am ---- k brilliant , so even though on the back of the gti one there are two screw holes that hold in the airbag and on mine there arent , the connections should still be the same and it should be fine??
#9: Re: AAAARRRRGGHH! Author: iainlovatt, Posted: Wed Jun 01, 2011 8:07 am ---- no mate unfortunately it doesn't work like that!
#10: Re: AAAARRRRGGHH! Author: Harry, Location: StaffordPosted: Wed Jun 01, 2011 9:05 am ---- Bolt on airbags are pre 2001 and after are clip on you NEED the correct one. I don't understand how you got a bolt on steering wheel from an 03 car. Did it have an airbag? Do you have any pics to confirm? Would help a lot

Plus i have the mirrors for sale of intrested with the switch. Cheers

#17: Re: AAAARRRRGGHH! Author: meady, Location: basingstokePosted: Thu Jun 02, 2011 6:06 am ---- Have you already bought the auto fold mirrors and what reg is your car. As if its new enough you will have the brown plug connectors.for the mirrors so they will just be plug and play. You just have to make sure that you have the right amount of wires. Cheers
